Alive
Leben hat viele Formen und ist vielfältig verflochten. Das Buch macht die Koexistenz verschiedener Wesen und Welten anhand von Dingen, Geschichten und Kunstwerken sichtbar. Es zeigt, dass die Mitwelt in vielen Regionen der Erde lebendig und aktiv erfahren wird: Berge und Flüsse sind nicht nur Ressource oder Kulisse, sondern wirkmächtige Quellen des Lebens; Pflanzen und Tiere sind nicht allein Nahrung, sondern Gefährten; Ahnen und Geistwesen beeinflussen den lebendigen Alltag. So verstanden, vermitteln lokale Perspektiven und alternative Formen des Miteinanders Wege in gemeinsame Zukünfte. Eine Vielfalt internationaler Autor*innen erzählt hier Geschichten von Geflechten des Lebendigen, die empathisch und informiert dazu einladen, unsere Beziehungen zur Mitwelt zu überdenken und neu zu knüpfen.
Pigmentos: más allá del color
Il tema di questa pubblicazione scientifica educativa e divulgativa intende raggiungere il general pubblico e le persone legate al mondo della comunicazione scientifica, con alcuni esempi dello studio dei pigmenti dal passato al presente dell'umanità. Con essa illustriamo informazioni sulla conoscenza, gli usi, i processi di produzione o la scelta dei materiali, sia che si tratti di coloranti minerali e ottenuti da piante, insetti e molluschi.

Specifichiamo la cromaticità dei colori n...
The Archaeology of Political Organization
In this volume, Barbara Stark examines settlement in the coastal plain of lowland Mesoamerica, which was richly endowed with fertile soil and valued tropical resources such as jaguars, cacao, avian species with bright plumage, and cotton. The book provides basic archaeological data about regional settlement from three decades of survey research in south-central Veracruz in the western lower Papaloapan basin, a region with low density urbanism. The data reveals political and social change, with consolidation of wealth by elite families during the Late Classic period. The political analysis considers archaeological evidence related to several organizational principles: collective versus autocr...
Origins of the Ñuu
Combining older findings with new data on 1,000 previously undescribed archaeological sites, Origins of the Ñuu presents the cultural evolution of the Mixteca Alta in an up-to-date chronological framework. The ñuu - the kingdoms of the famous Mixtec codices - are traced back through the Postclassic and Classic periods to their beginnings in the first states of the Terminal Formative, revealing their origin, evolution, and persistence through two cycles of growth and collapse. Challenging assumptions that the Mixtec were peripheral to better-known peoples such as the Aztecs or Maya, the book asserts that the ñuu were a major demographic and economic power in their own right. Older explanations of multiregional or macroregional systems often portrayed civilizations as rising in a cradle or hearth and spreading outward. New macroregional studies show that civilizations are products of more complex interactions between regions, in which peripheries are not simply shaped by cores but by their interactions with multiple societies at varying distances from major centers. Origins of the Ñuu is a significant contribution to this emerging area of archaeological research.

Covacha Babisuri. Doce mil años de prehistoria en la Isla Espíritu Santo, B:C.S.
El libro aborda el poblamiento temprano de la península de Baja California Sur. El fechamiento radiocarbónico y el análisis de diversos materiales arqueológicos y de restos de flora y fauna obtenidos en la excavación arqueológica del lugar, un abrigo rocoso de la Isla Espíritu Santo, revelan que la ocupación humana de ese lugar se inició hace aproximadamente 12000 años con una subsistencia basada en la pesca y la recolección de moluscos, complementada por productos vegetales y la caza.
Cities on Hills
This study examines secondary centres in the Mixteca Alta during the classic period (AD 200-500) and in particular their public architecture. Verenice Espinoza also analyses the finds associated with these sites, focusing on the incidence of high status items with an overall aim of elucidating questions of political organisation, state-building and levels of centralization.
Classic Period Cultural Currents in Southern and Central Veracruz
