Abstract
- The article discusses the study which examined the metal production in Mesoamerica at the Tarascan region of western Mexico. It notes that mining and metallurgy appear to have evolved into a state industry highlighting the metal adornments like insignia of political and social status for public ritual and political control. It adds that the specific metallurgy is directly associated with the Tarascan Imperial system because of the multi-scalar and interrelated nature of its metal production.
