520 2  "This book, then, is essentially about objects. It 
       examines how the ruins of the ancient Indians--monuments 
       overtaken by nature and used by foreigners and local 
       people for centuries--were transformed into museum pieces 
       and official sites. It looks at the making of patrimony, 
       how the pots and statues of the Toltecs, Aztecs, and many 
       other ancient cultures became Mexican objects. It does not
       pretend to be an intellectual or institutional history of 
       archaeology, nor a comprehensive history of the science. 
       Instead, it focuses on archaeology's role in nation 
       building during one of Mexico's pivotal regimes, a 
       dictatorship that is often thought to have brought the 
       country its first modern state. It explores the process of
       constructing an ancient patrimony and past--the Porfirian 
       government's effort to cast a net over the pre-Hispanic 
       remains and draw them into the fold of the state"--
