Archaeological Guide to Central Southern Mexico
by Joyce Kelly

Palenque, Teiotihuacan, Yaxchilan -- ancient Maya cities whose names conjure up romance, mystery, and science all at once. Joyce Kelly's clear descriptions and captivating photographs of these and many other sites will make you want to pack your bags and head for Mexico. It covers 70 sites and 60 museums -- more than any other guidebook.

Kelly describes each site and museum and includes many site plans, and her description of each site includes its ancient history as well as its recent archaeological activity.

Clear maps and precise written directions include the distance (in miles and kilometers) and the driving time required for each segment of the trip. If you need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to negotiate rutted dirt roads, Kelly tells you. If you need a guide, she tells you where to find one.

Each site and museum is rated from 0 to 4 stars, enabling readers to see at a glance how worthwhile a visit will be. Each site is rated on the basis of its relative archaeological importance, degree of preservation or restoration, and ease of access compared with the visual rewards it offers. The sites are arranged in geographical sections, each coordinated with a map or maps. For each section, Kelly provides general information about accommodations, carrentals, gas stations, and more. A "General Advice" section at the beginning of the book describes everything from proper clothing and footgear to where to acquire the best maps and what to do if you get lost.
