Human Sacrifice, Militarism, and Rulership: Materialization of State Ideology at the Feathered Serpent Pyramid, Teotihuacan (New Studies in Archaeology) Book

In the first two centuries AD, Teotihuacan was the largest urban centre in the New World and the Feathered Serpent Pyramid a spectacular symbol of state power. In the first substantial archaeological analysis of the political institutions of Teotihuacan to be based on stratigraphically recorded evidence, Saburo Sugiyama investigates the ritual sacrifice of some 200 men and women that marked the erection of the Pyramid. In the process, he illuminates our understanding of urbanization, the ritual behaviour of elites, and the role of warfare and sacrifice in early Teotihuacan statecraft.Read More
