The brief Epilogue summarizes the main points of the book, which centered on analysis of the significance of representation of the human body in Preclassic Mesoamerica. It concludes that the fragmentation of the human body reveals as much about the significance of figuration as any pristine representation, and that the corpus of imagery underscores the fact that the personhood, in ancient Mesoamerica, was partible. The human body in Preclassic Mesoamerica was socially constructed not only in a theoretical domain; these notions were given figural form through the diverse representations that were sculpted, molded, manipulated, erected, and deliberately broken through the duration of the Preclassic period.
