Animal Matter uses primary excavation, zooarchaeological, and isotope data from the study of nearly 200 jaguars, pumas, wolves, rattlesnakes, and golden eagles that were sacrificed or offered to the Moon Pyramid of Teotihuacan, 1-550 AD, to take readers on a journey through the complex entanglements of ritual performances that were part of the process of sovereignty for this ancient city.
