The Genetic History Of The Otomi In The Central Mexican Valley Abstract The Otomí, or Hñäñhü, is an indigenous ethnic group in the Central Mexican Valley that has been historically marginalized since before Spanish colonization. To investigate the extent by which historical, geographic, linguistic, and cultural influences shaped biological ancestry, I analyzed the genetic variation of 224 Otomí individuals residing in thirteen Otomí villages. Results indicate that the majority of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes belong to the four major founding lineages, A2, B2, C1, and D1, reflecting an overwhelming lack of maternal admixture with Spanish colonizers. Results also indicate that at an intra-population level, neither geography nor linguistics played a prominent role in shaping maternal biological ancestry. However, at an inter-population level, geography was found to be a more influential determinant. Comparisons of Otomí genetic variation allow us to reconstruct the ethnic history of this group, and to place it within a broader-based Mesoamerican history.

    Archaeology of Mesoamerica George Washington University Course Anth 3814.10 Spring, 2013 Dr. J. Blomster e-mail: [email protected], phone, ext. 44880 Class Meets: Tues & Thur, 3:45 – 5:00, HAH, Rm. 202 Office Hours: Thursday, 11:00-1:00, HAH Rm. 303 The cultural region referred to as Mesoamerica – encompassing modern day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador – was the cradle of early and spectacular civilizations in the New World. This course will apply an anthropological perspective to the rich cultural traditions of Mesoamerica, focusing on the unique character of Mesoamerican civilization and its contributions to the world. No prerequisites are required. The structure of the course follows the chronological sequence of Mesoamerican cultures. After examining the peopling of the New World and the initial hunting/gathering lifestyle, the focus is on the development of agriculture, pottery, and the first permanent villages. We will examine the replacement of egalitarian societies by complex chiefdoms, states and even empires. Emphasis will be placed on the development of Mesoamerica’s first civilization – the Olmec – and the features first synthesized by the Olmecs that resonate in subsequent Mesoamerican civilizations. Different approaches to complex society and political organization will be examined by comparing the cities and states of Teotihuacán, Monte Albán, and various Maya polities. After examining the militarism that arose after the demise of these major states, the course will conclude with a brief examination

    Patrimonio Mundial de México Presencia del COVID-19 por Municipios ShareOurHeritage # Antecedentes El pasado 17 de abril, el gobierno federal a través de su Secretaría de Salud, difundió la distribución municipal de la expansión del Covid-19 en todo el territorio nacional. En dicha información, se reportan los ayuntamientos por entidad que tienen casos positivos y aquellos que tienen vecindad con otras municipalidades donde hay contagios. También se detalla la población, localidad por localidad, que reside en los municipios afectados. El gobierno federal informó que la expansión de la epidemia difiere en cada estado, pues hay municipios, principalmente donde se ubican las ciudades más pobladas del país, donde se presenta un mayor número de casos positivos. El presente estudio muestra la incidencia de casos del Covid-19 en los municipios pertenecientes a los sitios mexicanos inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO.

  • The Old Fire God and His Symbolism at Teotihuacan*
    Hasso von Winning The Old Fire God and his Symbolism at Teotihuacan* El dios más antiguo de Teotihuacán es representado antropomórficamente sólo en esculturas de piedra y unas cuantas figurillas de barro que muestran un anciano con un recipiente sobre la cabeza, destinado a quemar in- cienso. Sin embargo, diversas formas gráficas o signos ostentan los parafernales rituales relacionados con esta deidad paternalista del fuego. Tales signos, a menudo, se combinan con imágenes de los diferentes aspectos del dios de la lluvia, que predominan en el arte de Teotihua- cán. Con el surgimiento de deidades adicionales del fue- go durante la era postclásica tardía, las interrelaciones de Xiuhtecutli, el sucesor del viejo dios del fuego Hue- hueteotl, con deidades de la lluvia se evidencian icono- gráficamente en los manuscritos pictográficos y en las esculturas. Finalmente, se puede decir que, si bien en Teotihuacán la imaginería del culto al dios de la lluvia ensombreció el culto al dios del fuego, este último no se eclipsó del todo aunque el reconocimiento de su impor- tancia se vió disminuido en gran parte por la falta de com- prensión de su simbolismo.

  • Lan-Ha', Un Sitio Arqueológico En La Sierra Gorda Queretana
    María Teresa Muñoz Espinosa* José Carlos Castañeda Reyes** Lan-Ha’, un sitio arqueológico en la Sierra Gorda queretana: un llamado en favor de su protección para la investigación académica Reportado en el año de 1951 por Joaquín Meade e investigado inicialmente a partir de 1996 por el “Proyecto Arqueológico del Norte del Estado de Querétaro, México”, el asentamiento de Lan-ha’ es el más importante del noreste de la Sierra Gorda queretana, y uno de los más notables de este estado del norte de México. En el presente artículo se presenta un breve resumen de los resultados iniciales de la prospección arqueológica realizada en los años 2010 y 2012, pero sobre todo se analiza la legislación vigente para la preservación de ésta y de otras zonas arqueo- lógicas. Lan-ha’ se encuentra actualmente amenazada por una destrucción intencional, por lo que se hace un llamado para su defensa a la comunidad académica nacional e internacional. In 1951 Joaquín Meade reported the archaeological site of Lan-ha’. In 1996 it was researched for the first time in the “Northern Querétaro Archaeological Project.” Now it can be said that Lan-ha’ is the most important archaeological site northeast of the Sierra Gorda, Querétaro. We present in this article a brief summary of our fieldwork in Lan-ha’ in 2010 and 2012, but most importantly, we analyze the legislation to protect archaeological areas in Mexico, because this zone is in serious danger of being intentionally destroyed. We call for support from national and international academic circles to preserve this and other archaeological sites in Mexico.

  • La Cronología De Xochicalco Onología De Xochicalco
    122 ARQUEOLOGÍA 37 z enero-abril 2008 Norberto González Crespo,* Silvia Garza Tarazona,* Beatriz Palavicini Beltrán*ð y Claudia Alvarado León* La crcrLa onología de Xochicalco En este artículo se revisa la cronología de Xochicalco, desde que fueron construidas las estruc- turas más tempranas en el corazón del sitio hasta el momento de su destrucción y abandono. Repasamos las propuestas para ubicar a la ciudad de Xochicalco en una secuencia cronológica que inicia con los trabajos de Eduardo Noguera y concluye con la cronología sugerida por Kenneth Hirth. Nosotros enfatizamos que la ciudad de Xochicalco se mantuvo ocupada du- rante cerca de 400 años (650/700 a 900/1000 d.C.), y para ello partimos de la interpretación de diversas fechas de radiocarbono provenientes de complejos arquitectónicos situados en la parte más alta de la ciudad. Xochicalco está ubicado en el poniente del estado de Morelos, México, en una región de clima caluroso, seco y de vegetación subtropical (fig. 1). Indu- dablemente, la importancia de este sitio arqueológico no sólo se debe a su monumentalidad, sino también a la etapa paradigmática en que se encuentra como parte del estudio del periodo Epiclásico mesoamericano (650-900 d.C.). Este periodo —caracterizado por la fragmentación política manifestada en la diferencia de los patrones de asentamiento, el surgimiento de nuevos centros urbanos fortificados y la decadencia de Teotihuacan — es motivo de constan- tes debates para los estudiosos de Mesoamérica, entre ellos Sanders et al. (1979), Cohodas (1989), Dumond y Müller (1996), Sugiura (1996; 1998) y García Cook (1997). A pesar de la gran cantidad de información recuperada en el sitio por diversos arqueólogos (Alzate y Ramírez, 1791; Salas, 1935; Sáenz, 1961, 1963, 1964, 1967; Noguera, 1941, 1945, 1961; Hirth, 1978; González et al., 1995), su interpretación en lo referente a la posición temporal presenta diversos problemas de carácter metodológico.

This collection includes her Mexico travel notebook containing the contact information for the many Mexican architects documented in the book The New Architecture in Mexico, scrapbooks of vintage Mexican postcards, photographs, and original negatives. Quantity/ Extent 3 linear feet Language of Materials English and Spanish Biographical/ Historical Note Esther Baum Born was born in 1902 in Palo Alto, California. She studied architecture at the University of California, Berkeley under John Galen Howard, and graduated in 1926. The same year, she married Ernest Born, and together they ran an architecture practice from 1945-1973. During the Great Depression, Born studied photography, which she practiced successfully throughout her life. During the 1930s, she spent 10 months in Mexico, photographing and drawing the country’s architecture and design, and also included portraits, landscapes, countryside scenes, and busy market places. The compilation of this work was first published in an issue of Architectural Record in April 1937. The article was expanded into a book, The New Architecture of Mexico, published by Wm.

  • The Business of Narrative at Tula
    THE BUSINESS OF NARR TIVE AT TULA: AN ANALYSIS OF THE VESllBULE FRTF,7JF,TRADE, AND RITUAL CynthiaKristan-Graham The so-calledfrieze of the Caciquesat Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico, is an 8-m-long bench with most of its original polychromedfaceintact. It formed part of a largercomposition that once ran aroundthe perimeter of the Vestibule, a colonnadedhall that servedas a foyerfor PyramidB. The compositionof progle males is adaptedto look as if they are actuallymarching around the room towardthe pyramid. Although Hugo MoedanoKoer (1947) identified thefigures as caciquesor local chiefs,an analysisof architecturalsetting, subject matter, and ethnohistorysuggests instead that thefigures representmerchants engaged in rituals relatedto trade. This new readingdemonstrates that Tula had decorativeprograms paralleling its developmentas an importantcenter of long-distanceexchange duringthe Early Postclassicperiod, and that merchantsfrom Tula may have been a plausibleprototype for Aztec pochteca. Elfriso de los Caciquesde Tula, Hidalgo,Mexico, es una bancatallada de ocho metrosde largocon la mayoria del policromadointacto.
