Sobre este artículo
Book Club Associates, London, 1977. Cloth, 4to, 24 cm,. xiv, 369 pp, ills. From the time of the conquistadores until the 1900s, archaeology in the Americas witnessed an era of unbridled speculation, frenzied excavations, and conflicting attitudes toward the Indians. Elusive Treasure describes the major controversies surrounding such varied topics as the Spaniards' treatment of the Aztecs and Incas, the destruction of the North American Indians' mysterious ancient burial mounds, and the discovery of the Seven Lost Cities of Cibola. Professor Fagan's ability to synthesize enormous bodies of literature and history on the subject ensures this work as a comprehensive display of the most puzzling questions concerning Indian civilization. Elusive Treasure contains a lucid and free-flowing text balanced with contemporary portraits, lithographs, artefacts, and site photographs. This work will stand as an unimaginable treasure for armchair archaeologists." - from the blurb. Fine in slightly yellowed dustwrapper.
