JEL CODES: N56, N96, O33, Q15. ur aim is to determine continuities and changes in the cañada of Yosotiche environment since the introduction by Spanish conquerors and settlers of new Ocrops, especially sugarcane. A study of the biological modifications of a par- ticular ecosystem allows inferences on changes and continuities in socio-political rela- tions. This particular case study contributes to a discussion of the general model of Mix- tec political territoriality. The methodology applied here involves a convergence that integrates the analysis of historical documents, archaeological data, fieldwork and anth- ropological information, along with discoveries made by earlier research. It offers in- sight into occupational dynamics and their ties to the political, administrative, econo- mic and social structures within the cañada during colonial times. The introduction of foreign crops produced changes in the ecological complemen- tarity system practiced by the villages that possessed lands in the cañada, consequently modifying the labour relations of the inhabitants. An analysis of this situation reveals the singular status of the lands owned by Tlaxiaco, which seemingly fit the regulations dictated by the Laws of the Indies but, in essence, meant the continuity of pre-Hispa- nic traditions. 33 RHA75__Maquetación HA 25/05/2018 14:23 Página 34 Marta Martín Gabaldón Nuevos cultivos, nuevos paisajes y nuevas relaciones político-sociales en la cañada de Yosotiche (región mixteca, Oaxaca, México), siglos XVI-XVIII PALABRAS CLAVE: complementariedad ecológica, yuhuitayu, caña de azúcar, región mixteca.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to dedicate this thesis to my late grandfather “Papi Joël”, who wanted to tie me to a tree when I first start my journey to paleontology six years ago, in Paris. And yet, he never failed to support me at any cost, even if he did not always understand what I was doing and why I was doing it. He is always in my mind. Merci papi ! This master thesis has been one-year long project during which one there were highs and lows.

The following genera have been recognized: Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, Lourinhanosaurus, Allosaurus, cf. Compsognathus, Stokesosaurus, cf. Richardoestesia, cf. Archaeopteryx, Euronychodon, cf. Paronychodon, Dinheirosaurus, Lourinhasaurus, Lusotitan, cf. Pleurocoelus, Lusitanosau- rus, Dacentrurus, Dracopelta, Phyllodon, Hypsilophodon, Alocodon, Trimucrodon, Draconyx, Iguanodon, and Taveirosaurus. Most are from Late Jurassic localities at the Lourinhã area and Guimarota. A new genus, Lusotitan, is here raised to include the Late Jurassic ‘Brachiosaurus’atalaiensis. Lower Cretaceous until Cenomanian material is scarce, except for dinosaur footprints. An interesting Late-Cretaceous, mostly small dinosaur association has been collected between Aveiro and Taveiro.

Most of the 600 species (in seven families and 13 genera) are arbo- rescent, but considerable morphological variability exists, spanning the giant scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae), the low, erect plants (Plagiogy- riaceae), and the diminutive endemics of the Guayana Highlands (Hymenophyllopsidaceae). In this study, we investigate phylogenetic relationships within tree ferns based on analyses of four protein-coding, plastid loci (atpA, atpB, rbcL, and rps4). Our results reveal four well-supported clades, with genera of Dicksoniaceae (sensu Kubitzki, 1990) interspersed among them: (A) (Loxomataceae, (Culcita, Pla- giogyriaceae)), (B) (Calochlaena, (Dicksonia, Lophosoriaceae)), (C) Cibotium, and (D) Cyatheaceae, with Hymenophyllopsidaceae nested within. How these four groups are related to one other, to Thyrsopteris, or to Metaxyaceae is weakly supported. Our results show that Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae, as currently recognised, are not monophyletic and new circumscriptions for these families are needed. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

  • A Geochemical Study of Four Prehistoric Quarries in Oaxaca, Mexico
    A GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF FOUR PREHISTORIC QUARRIES IN OAXACA, MEXICO. by MICHELLE L. TROGDON (Under the direction of Ervan Garrison) ABSTRACT Petrographic and geochemical analyses of chert quarries used in antiquity for stone tool production in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, Mexico have shown some promising results. This study combines petrography, electron microprobe analysis, hydrofluoric acid treatment, and isotope analysis to identify differences between four quarries and build a database of characteristics associated with each quarry. Major elements in trace amounts (Al, Ca, Na, Mg, and K) and their distribution, fossils, and δ18O values were unable to distinguish unique characteristics of the four quarries presented. However, these methods did reveal interesting information regarding chert formation in general and specific processes that influenced chert formation in Oaxaca.
