This paper examines a small network of amateur naturalists who were among the first to document archaeological remains in central Veracruz, Mexico. Carl Christian Sartorius (1796-1872), Karl Hermann Berendt (1817 - 1878), and Hugo Finck (ca. 1824 - 1895) shared backgrounds as German expatriates living and working as professional farmers and physicians in Veracruz. Their detailed knowledge of the peoples and landscapes of Veracruz, as well as their frequent trips to the field, enabled their...
