This impressive collection features the work of archaeologists who systematically explore the material and social consequences of new technological systems introduced after the sixteenth-century Spanish invasion in Mesoamerica. It is the first collection to present case studies that show how both commonplace and capital-intensive technologies were intertwined with indigenous knowledge systems to reshape local, regional, and transoceanic ecologies, commodity chains, and political, social, and religious institutions across Mexico and Central America.

Rani T. Alexander is a professor of anthropology at New Mexico State University and the coeditor, with Susan Kepecs, of The Postclassic to Spanish-Era Transition in Mesoamerica: Archaeological Perspectives (UNM Press) and Colonial and Postcolonial Change in Mesoamerica: Archaeology as Historical Anthropology (UNM Press).

The innovative archaeological histories of technology presented [in this volume] will position Mesoamerican historical archaeology as an emerging contributor to broader theoretical and methodological conversations in anthropology and archaeology, while speaking to themes in the archaeology of the contemporary past, industrial archaeology, archaeologies of capitalism and colonialism, and more."" - Guido Pezzarossi, contributor to Archaeology of Culture Contact and Colonialism in Spanish and Portuguese America
