"MEXICAN COPPER TOOLS: The Use of Copper by the Mexicans Before the Conquest; and The Katunes of Maya History, A Chapter in the Early History of Central America" by Philipp J. J. Valentini, Ph.D. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the copper tools utilized by the ancient Mexicans prior to European conquest, as well as exploring the historical context of the Maya civilization through the lens of the Katunes. It focuses on the metallurgy skills of pre-Columbian cultures and their significance in agricultural practices and craftsmanship. At the start of the book, Valentini seeks to investigate the use of copper among pre-Columbian cultures, particularly in Mexico and Central America, highlighting their technological advancements in metallurgy. He reflects on the lack of detailed accounts in Spanish chroniclers regarding Mexican workshops and the tools used by artisans. Furthermore, Valentini discusses the significance of copper tools in everyday life, the processes of their production, and their cultural importance. He emphasizes the challenges in studying these artifacts due to the scarcity of historical documentation and material evidence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
