In this first part of a two-episode section, archaeologist Anthony DeLuca gives us a detailed introduction to West Mexico (1-2:50), the age of the West Mexican region (3-6) and why it has received less focus than other Mesoamerican regions (6:10-7). He will explain the shaft tomb traditions of West Mexico, Its Interactions with other regions, and his own research Into the area's rich history.
