The Oxford Handbook of Mesoamerican Archaeology
The Oxford Handbook of Mesoamerican Archaeology provides a current and comprehensive guide to the recent and on-going archaeology of Mesoamerica. Though the emphasis is on prehispanic societies, this Handbook also includes coverage of important new work by archaeologists on the Colonial and Republican periods. Unique among recent works, the text brings together in a single volume article-length regional syntheses and topical overviews written by active scholars in the field of Mesoamerican archaeology. The first section of the Handbook provides an overview of recent history and trends of Mesoamerica and articles on national archaeology programs and practice in Central America and Mexico writ...
Settlement Archaeology and Political Economy at Tres Zapotes, Veracruz, Mexico
This volume presents new information from a program of intensive archaeological survey and surface collection at an important Olmec and Epi-Olmec center. A dual strategy of systematic interval transect sampling and full-coverage survey of architectural features and artifact concentrations permits an evaluation of the relative effectiveness of these commonly employed methods. Auger testing in floodplain areas yielded evidence of extensive buried deposits. Distributional analysis of the surface and subsurface data documents the site's growth and decline from 900 BC to AD 900 in radiocarbon years and confirm that Tres Zapotes achieved its apogee during the Late and Terminal Formative periods (4...

Orientaciones astronómicas en la arquitectura de Mesoamérica: Oaxaca y el Golfo de México
El libro presenta los resultados del estudio sistemático de las orientaciones en la arquitectura prehispánica de dos subáreas de Mesoamérica. Con las mediciones en campo obtuvimos datos sobre las orientaciones de los edificios cívicos y ceremoniales en 42 sitios arqueológicos en las regiones culturales de Oaxaca y el Golfo de México. Asumiendo que se distinguen por ciertas peculiaridades culturales, analizamos los datos de una y otra región por separado, empleando una metodología más rigurosa de la implementada en la mayoría de estudios anteriores. Los resultados de los análisis indican que las orientaciones eran funcionales ante todo o exclusivamente en sentido este-oeste, refir...

Studies in Philology
Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies are the three main research areas within Philology. Scientific production, such as conferences and journals, has tended towards specialization, and has been traditionally classified according to separate disciplines and languages. However, this volume offers a holistic view of the wide area of Philology, therefore allowing the permeability of the three areas mentioned above. As such, this book shows that the line that separates Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies is actually very thin. This volume is composed of a miscellanea of philological studies dealing with various trends in Modern Language research. It looks at three languages in particular: Spanish, English and French, with a special relevance to the first two.
