About the book
"Monumental work that includes detailed studies of jade from across Central and South America is divided into three parts. Pt. 1 includes eight chapters on geology and minerology; Pt. 2, eight chapters on cultural contexts; and Pt. 3, six chapters on artifacts. Of special note is that the Motagua Valley of Guatemala remains the only known source of jadeite for the entire region. Invaluable compendium for archaeologists working in the region who have recovered jade from their sites"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
