{"product_id":"water-folk-eduardo-williams-9781407312521","title":"Water Folk: Reconstructing an Ancient Aquatic Lifeway in Michoacán, Western Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study of subsistence activities (fishing, hunting, gathering, and manufacture) in the Cuitzeo and P tzcuaro lake basins (Michoac n, Western Mexico) underscores the value of ethnoarchaeology as a tool for reconstructing the ancient aquatic lifeway in the territory of the Protohistoric Tarascan state (ca. AD 1450-1530), which flourished in an environment dominated by lakes, rivers, swamps and marshes. Mesoamerica was the only civilization in the ancient world that lacked major domesticated sources of animal protein; therefore, abundant wild aquatic species (fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects and plants, etc.) all played strategic roles in the diet and economy of most Mesoamerican cultures, including the Tarascans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduardo Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407312529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407312521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.35d","brand":"Eduardo Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451050905855,"sku":"9781407312521","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49773d5e-1aab-4918-81db-61633374540c.jpg?v=1735876285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/water-folk-eduardo-williams-9781407312521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
