Mesoamerican communities past and present are characterized by their strong inclination toward color and their expert use of the natural environment to create dyes and paints. In pre-Hispanic times, skin was among the preferred surfaces on which to apply coloring materials. Archaeological research and historical and iconographic evidence show that, in Mesoamerica, the human body\u2014alive or dead\u2014received various treatments and procedures for coloring it.<\/p>\n<\/div>The University of Arizona Press<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
