  • A Regional Study
    POPULATION STRUCTURE AND INTERREGIONAL INTERACTION IN PRE- HISPANIC MESOAMERICA: A BIODISTANCE STUDY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By B. Scott Aubry, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Clark Spencer Larsen, Adviser Professor Paul Sciulli _________________________________ Adviser Professor Sam Stout Graduate Program in Anthropology Professor Robert DePhilip Copyright Bryan Scott Aubry 2009 ABSTRACT This study addresses long standing issues regarding the nature of interregional interaction between central Mexico and the Maya area through the analysis of dental variation. In total 25 sites were included in this study, from Teotihuacan and Tula, to Tikal and Chichen Itza. Many other sites were included in this study to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the biological relationships between these regions and to better estimate genetic heterozygosity for each sub-region. The scope of the present study results in a more comprehensive understanding of population interaction both within and between the sub-regions of Mesoamerica, and it allows for the assessment of differential interaction between sites on a regional scale. Both metric and non-metric data were recorded. Non-metric traits were scored according to the ASU system, and dental metrics include the mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions at the CEJ following a modification of Hillson et al. (2005). Biodistance estimates were calculated for non-metric traits using Mean Measure of Divergence. R-matrix analysis, which provides an estimate of average genetic heterozygosity, was applied to the metric data. R-matrix analysis was performed for each of the sub-regions separately in order to detect specific sites that deviate from expected levels of genetic heterozygosity in each area.

INTERCAMBIO Y CAMINOS EN EL MUNDO MAYA PREHISPÁNICO AMALIA AttOLINI LECÓN Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia Dirección de Etnohistoria INTRODUCCIÓN La zona maya atesora una gran biodiversidad; la adaptación de los grupos humanos a esta pluralidad dio origen a la producción especializada de diversos productos que se distribuían desde centros con concentraciones de población en determinadas regiones. Estos focos comerciales y políticos entraron en contacto unos con otros gracias a la red de rutas terrestres, pero sobre todo a las marítimas y fluviales. Mientras en el resto de Meso- américa se daba un fenómeno diferente debido al nuevo orden impuesto por la expansión mexica y la reestructuración de las redes de tributo y de comercio, la zona maya permaneció fuera de su dominio y el mecanismo alternativo para obtener sus bienes y recursos fue el intercambio a larga distancia a través de los llamados puertos de intercambio.
