Description
The Indian cultures of Guatemala and El Salvador are among the most interesting and colorful in the Western Hemisphere.

Mera, curator of archaeology at Santa Fe's Lab of Anthropology. This forgotten manuscript describes the origin and history of the distinctive textiles woven by Spanish-Americans in New Mexico.
