Teotihuacan was one of the major cities of the ancient world, and
the available materials on the internet are scattered around. The Wikipedia
entry is not very good. I have not seen a good bibliography of works for
someone who wants to know about research at the site as written by the relevant
archaeologists or good journalists. I am going to use this blog post to create
a bibliography and guide to materials on Teotihuacan. It may take me a while to
get it all together, so please check back periodically. If you have
suggestions, please send them to me.
