PIÑA CHAN, ROMAN
"The region of Campeche is ranked as one of the most important ecosystems in the world. It is part of the Maya Forest, which covers nearly three million hectares of northern Mexico, where countless archaeological remains have been found and has a great diversity of plants and animals. Half of the region is protected and decreed a Biosphere Reserve. This book is a tribute to the scholar, teacher and friend Román Piña Chán, who was a teacher who devoted his life to archeology under the premise that the archaeological finds are worthless if they are not transmitted to society. It is a compilation of the research that his students and collaborators have collected over these thirty years. It includes the essays of Antonio Benavides Castillo, Omar Rodríguez Campero, Ernesto Vargas Pacheco, Ramon Carrasco Vargas, Luz Evelia Campaign Valenzuela, Dominique Michelet and Carlos A. Vidal Angles, among others. Extensively documented with color photographs, tables, maps and texts illustrating the prolific research conducted by Román Piña Chan on the vast state of the Campeche region."-
