The publication of this book makes available once more the important work carried out by the Swedish archaeologist Sigvald Linne (1899-1986) on the site of Xolalpan, part of the Teotihuacan complex in Mexico. Originally published in 1934, and now with a new foreword by Staffan Brunius and an introduction by George L Cowgill, Linne's account of the excavation and finds was one of the first investigations in this field to examine a domestic residence away from the major pyramids which had been the focus of so much attention. The progress of the excavation, the graves that were uncovered, as well as the range of finds recovered, including utilitarian ceramics, incense burners, spindle whorls, clay and stone objects, figurines and bone artefacts, are all discussed by Linne.
