Animal Matter
Animal Matter uses primary excavation, zooarchaeological, and isotope data from the study of nearly 200 jaguars, pumas, wolves, rattlesnakes, and golden eagles that were sacrificed or offered to the Moon Pyramid of Teotihuacan, 1-550 AD, to take readers on a journey through the complex entanglements of ritual performances that were part of the process of sovereignty for this ancient city.
Colonial and Postcolonial Change in Mesoamerica
This book offers a new account of human interaction and culture change for Mesoamerica that connects the present to the past. Social histories that assess the cultural upheavals between the Spanish invasion of Mesoamerica and the ethnographic present overlook the archaeological record, with its unique capacity to link local practices to global processes. To fill this gap, the authors weigh the material manifestations of the colonial and postcolonial trajectory in light of local, regional, and global historical processes that have unfolded over the last five hundred years. Research on a suite of issues—economic history, production of commodities, agrarian change, resistance, religious shifts, and sociocultural identity—demonstrates that the often shocking patterns observed today are historically contingent and culturally mediated, and therefore explainable. This book belongs to a new wave of scholarship that renders the past immediately relevant to the present, which Alexander and Kepecs see as one of archaeology’s most crucial goals.

Ancient Foodways
How archaeology can shed light on past foodways and social worlds Through various case studies, Ancient Foodways illustrates how archaeologists can use bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, architecture, and other evidence to understand how food acquisition, preparation, and consumption intersect with economics, politics, and ritual. Spanning four continents and several millennia of human history, this volume is a comprehensive and contemporary survey of how archaeological data can be used to interpret past foodways and reconstruct past social worlds. This volume is organized around four major themes: feasting and politics; sacrifice, ritual, and ancestors; diet, landscape, and ...
Vectores de la pedagogía docente actual
Este volumen titulado Fórmulas para la innovación en la docencia universitaria recoge cuatro cuestiones que reflejan la problemática docente y las soluciones que los docentes buscan con creatividad y responsabilidad. En primer lugar, abundan los capítulos sobre metodología docente, en segundo lugar se muestran propuestas de recursos docentes, en tercer lugar recomendaciones acerca de contenidos -en algunos casos trasversales- y, por último, la preocupación por la propia formación docente en un marco europeo educativo relativamente joven. Los autores que participan son profesores afiliados a varias universidades españolas y de modo interdisciplinar. En cuanto a los capítulos de meto...
Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World
Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World explores the current trends in the social archaeology of human-animal relationships, focusing on the ways in which animals are used to structure, create, support, and even deconstruct social inequalities. The authors provide a global range of case studies from both New and Old World archaeology—a royal Aztec dog burial, the monumental horse tombs of Central Asia, and the ceremonial macaw cages of ancient Mexico among them. They explore the complex relationships between people and animals in social, economic, political, and ritual contexts, incorporating animal remains from archaeological sites with artifacts, texts, and iconography to develop their interpretations. Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World presents new data and interpretations that reveal the role of animals, their products, and their symbolism in structuring social inequalities in the ancient world. The volume will be of interest to archaeologists, especially zooarchaeologists, and classical scholars of pre-modern civilizations and societies.
