The Routledge Handbook of Mesoamerican Bioarchaeology
This volume brings together a range of contributors with different and hybrid academic backgrounds to explore, through bioarchaeology, the past human experience in the territories that span Mesoamerica. This handbook provides systematic bioarchaeological coverage of skeletal research in the ancient Mesoamericas. It offers an integrated collection of engrained, bioculturally embedded explorations of relevant and timely topics, such as population shifts, lifestyles, body concepts, beauty, gender, health, foodways, social inequality, and violence. The additional treatment of new methodologies, local cultural settings, and theoretic frames rounds out the scope of this handbook. The selection of 36 chapter contributions invites readers to engage with the human condition in ancient and not-so-ancient Mesoamerica and beyond. The Routledge Handbook of Mesoamerican Bioarchaeology is addressed to an audience of Mesoamericanists, students, and researchers in bioarchaeology and related fields. It serves as a comprehensive reference for courses on Mesoamerica, bioarchaeology, and Native American studies.

El presente libro analiza la importancia de los manantiales dentro de la ritualidad indígena mesoamericana y ofrece una interpretación del contexto arqueológico de algunos entierros localizados al lado de un manantial haciendo uso de un amplio repertorio histórico y etnográfico. Esta exposición parte de los resultados de la excavación arqueológica efectuada entre los años 2002 y 2003 en el manantial Hueytlílatl, ubicado en Los Reyes, Coyoacán, por la Dirección de Salvamento Arqueológico del INAH –de la cual el autor formó parte– y de la que salieron a la luz diversos objetos de cerámica y lítica, varios entierros humanos y restos de arquitectura, en su mayoría pertenecientes a los periodos Posclásico tardío y Colonial temprano.
