The Global History of Paleopathology
The first comprehensive global history of the discipline of paleopathology
Twin Tollans
This volume had its beginnings in the two-day colloquium, "Rethinking Chichén Itzá, Tula and Tollan," that was held at Dumbarton Oaks. The selected essays revisit long-standing questions regarding the nature of the relationship between Chichen Itza and Tula. Rather than approaching these questions through the notions of migrations and conquests, these essays place the cities in the context of the emerging social, political, and economic relationships that took shape during the transition from the Epiclassic period in Central Mexico, the Terminal Classic period in the Maya region, and the succeeding Early Postclassic period.
Forjadores del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (1939-2009)
Primera institución cultural emanada de la Revolución, el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia es emblema y referencia obligada tanto para el estudio de nuestro pasado como para la reflexión informada sobre nuestro presente. La formación y desarrollo del INAH se debe al trabajo de las mujeres y hombres que han entregado su vida a la institución y de quienes lo siguen haciendo ahora, tanto en el terreno de la antropología, la arqueología y la historia, como en el de las demás disciplinas dedicadas al estudio del pasado y el presente de México.

International Handbook of Historical Archaeology
In studying the past, archaeologists have focused on the material remains of our ancestors. Prehistorians generally have only artifacts to study and rely on the diverse material record for their understanding of past societies and their behavior. Those involved in studying historically documented cultures not only have extensive material remains but also contemporary texts, images, and a range of investigative technologies to enable them to build a broader and more reflexive picture of how past societies, communities, and individuals operated and behaved. Increasingly, historical archaeology refers not to a particular period, place, or a method, but rather an approach that interrogates the t...
Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico
For too long, the Gulf Coast of Mexico has been dismissed by scholars as peripheral to the Mesoamerican heartland, but researchers now recognize that much can be learned from this regionÕs cultures. Peoples of the Gulf CoastÑparticularly those in Veracruz and TabascoÑshare so many historical experiences and cultural features that they can fruitfully be viewed as a regional unit for research and analysis. Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico is the first book to argue that the people of this region constitute a culture area distinct from other parts of Mexico. A pioneering effort by a team of international scholars who summarize hundreds of years of history, this encyclopedic work ch...
The Tenochca Empire of Ancient Mexico
The most important political entity in pre-Spanish Mesoamerica was the Tenochca Empire, founded in 1428 when the three kingdoms of Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco, and Tlacopan formed an alliance that controlled the Basin of Mexico and other extensive areas of Mesoamerica. In a unique political structure, each of the three allies headed a group of kingdoms in the core of the Empire. Each capital possessed settlements of peasants both in its own domain and in those of the other two capitals; in conquered areas nearby, the three capitals had their separate tributaries. In The Tenochca Empire Pedro Carrasco incorporates years of research in the archives of Mexico and Spain and compares primary sources, some not yet published, from all three of the great kingdoms. Carrasco takes in the total tripartite structure of the Empire, defining its component entities and determining how they were organized and how they functioned.
Paisajes rituales y culturales desde la arqueología y la etnohistoria:
La presente obra constituye una importante compilación de trabajos provenientes de la arqueología y la etnohistoria, que analizan, en sus diversas vertientes, el papel desempeñado por los entornos ambientales y naturales como contenedores de los significados primigenios de diversos sistemas culturales y la manera en la cual, los grupos sociales defendieron su relación con los mismos entornos; en otras palabras, por medio de esta directriz denotada a lo largo de los distintos capítulos, es factible observar la racionalidad distintiva que moldeaba los paisajes y la manera en cómo se vieron asociados a diversas prácticas sociales y simbólicas recreando y otorgando sentido de prevalencia en los grupos humanos.
