We sequenced the entire mtDNA control region (positions 16.024 to 576 following Cambridge Reference Sequence, CRS) of 605 individuals from seven Mesoamerican indigenous groups and one Aridoamerican from the Greater Southwest previously defined, all of them in present Mexico. Samples were collected directly from the indigenous populations, the application of an individual survey made it possible to remove related or with other origins samples. Diversity indices and demographic estimates were calculated. Also AMOVAs were calculated according to different criteria. An MDS plot, based on FST distances, was also built. We carried out the construction of individual networks for the four Amerindian haplogroups detected.

  • Ceremonial Plazas in the Cival Region, Guatemala
    Monumental Foundations: An Investigation of the Preclassic Development of Civic- Ceremonial Plazas in the Cival Region, Guatemala by Kaitlin R. Ahern May 2020 A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology This page is intentionally left blank. ii Copyright by Kaitlin R. Ahern 2020 II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: There is a long list of individuals and organizations that have both contributed to my formation as both an archaeologist and as a scholar. I am immensely grateful to my advisor, Dr. Timothy Chevral and committee members Dr. Douglas Perrelli and Dr. Sarunas Milisauskas, for their guidance and assistance in the completion of my doctorate. I am thankful to Warren Barbour for warmly accepting me into the Master’s program at the University at Buffalo and welcoming me into UB’s Teotihuacan Archaeology Laboratory. I will always treasure my memories with him discussing the formation of cities and states, especially urban planning and Teotihuacan. He will be greatly missed. Timothy Chevral graciously became my new chair once Warren Barbour retired. Throughout my graduate school education, he taught a wide array of courses that served to enrich my anthropological and archaeological understanding. His courses also greatly enhanced my knowledge regarding archaeological theory and introduced me to the archaeological sciences. Douglas Perrelli provided me with a North American perspective to my research and spent time helping me prepare for my advanced exams. Sarunas Milisauskas taught me about the history of archaeology and how it has impacted archaeological approaches in other countries.
