Abstract
Based on archaeological analysis (e.g., ceramics, architecture, and metallurgy), in conjunction with linguistics, documentary, and traditional histories, Castro-Leal attempts to trace the origin and development of the Tarascan nation-state from approximately 1100 B.P. (900 A.D.) to 470 B.P.(1530 A.D.) at the time of the Spanish conquests. The compilation of data is then compared to other parts of Mesoamerica to show (according to the author) a common origin of political institutions throughout the area.
