| Summary: | This article provides a new application of Westerdahl's concepts of maritime cultural landscape and maritime cultures within the context of Mesoamerica, and more specifically during the Postclassic period (AD 1325–1521). The results presented here were obtained by transposing maritime archaeological research questions to new fieldwork in the Mexican highlands, using a pluri-disciplinary methodology. Combining archaeology, ethnohistory, iconography, and ethnography allowed to throw new light on the undervalued lacustrine cultural landscape of the Basin of Mexico and its understanding by the Aztecs. |
