Dainzú-Macuilxóchitl is an expansive settlement that was an important part of the Prehispanic Zapotec tradition. Over 130 man-made terraces were mapped, all dating to the Late Classic period (500-900 A.D.), and a large terrace complex found at the summit of Cerro Danush is interpreted as the civic-ceremonial center of the site during that time. I argue that the Late Classic shift in civic-ceremonial focus away from Cerro Dainzú to Cerro Danush implies direct involvement at the site from the nearby urban center of Monte Albán.

    EL USO DE SÍMBOLOS EN LA RECONSTRUCCIÓN 3D DE SITIOS PRECOLONIALES EN EL CONTEXTO DE LOS PUEBLOS INDÍGENAS Liana Ivette Jiménez Osorio [email protected] Emmanuel Posselt Santoyo [email protected] Investigadores independientes RESUMEN En este artículo planteamos que las reconstrucciones 3D de sitios precoloniales pueden vincular el presente y el pasado, así como reforzar la identidad de los pueblos indígenas. Para alcanzar este objetivo, proponemos partir del enfoque de la antropología del diseño, del entendimiento de “modelo” desde las humanidades digitales y del concepto de “biografía de sitio”. Este planteamiento se ejemplifica a partir de las reconstrucciones 3D de dos sitios precoloniales: Cerro de Pedimento y Yuku Chayu, ambos ubicados en el corazón de la Mixteca Alta. PALABRAS CLAVE RECONSTRUCCIONES 3D, ARQUEOLOGÍA VIRTUAL, PUEBLOS INDÍGENAS, MIXTECA ALTA, HUMANIDADES DIGITALES ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose that the 3D reconstructions of precolonial sites can link present and past, likewise they can reinforce the identity of Indigenous Peoples. To reach this goal we considered the theoretical approach of the Design Anthropology, the understan- ding of “modeling” from the Digital Humanities, and the concept of “biography of place”. We exemplify this approach through two 3D reconstructions of precolonial sites: Cerro de Pedimento and Yuku Chayu, both of them located in the core of the Mixtec Highlands. KEY WORDS 3D RECONSTRUCTIONS, VIRTUAL ARCHAEOLOGY, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, MIXTEC HIGHLANDS, DIGITAL HUMANITIES 2019 / 24 [47]: 51-72 · 51 INTRODUCCIÓN El objetivo principal de este artículo es mostrar que a partir de las reconstrucciones 3D de sitios precoloniales podemos generar vínculos entre el presente y el pasado precolonial, así como reforzar la identidad de los pueblos indígenas, en este caso del mixteco.

Terraciano, Chair My project traces the evolution of the Zapotec cultural practice of guelaguetza, an indigenous sharing system of collaboration and exchange in Mexico, from pre-Columbian and colonial times to the present. Ironically, the term "guelaguetza" was appropriated by the Mexican government in the twentieth century to promote an annual dance festival in the city of Oaxaca that has little to do with the actual meaning of the indigenous tradition. My analysis of Zapotec-language alphabetic sources from the Central Valley of Oaxaca, written from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, reveals that Zapotecs actively participated in the sharing system during this long period of transformation. My project demonstrates that the Zapotec sharing economy functioned to build and reinforce social networks among households in Zapotec communities.

The festival occurs every July in Oaxaca City where it is a premier tourist attraction providing opportunities for socioeconomic growth and development. Yet the festival also creates negative impacts such as commodifi cation and com- mercialization of the festival, which may lead to the bastardization of culture, including loss of indigenous authenticity and exploitation of local resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to critically ana- lyze the positive and negative impacts of the 2007 Guelaguetza in order to determine the extent to which the festival focuses on becoming a tourist attraction at the expense of community celebration. A qualitative research design utilizing the case study approach was employed to analyze positive and negative impacts emerging from the real-world context of the 2007 Guelaguetza.

POSITIONAL VERBS IN COLONIAL VALLEY ZAPOTEC 1 JOHN FOREMAN BROOK DANIELLE LILLEHAugEN UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS RIO GRANDE VALLEY HAVERFORD COLLEGE This paper describes the system of positional verbs (e.g., ‘be standing’ and ‘be ly- ing’) in Colonial Valley Zapotec (CVZ), a historical form of Valley Zapotec preserved in archival documents written during the Mexican colonial period. We provide data showing that positional verbs in CVZ have unique morphological properties and participate in a defined set of syntactic constructions, showing that positional verbs formed a formal class of verbs in Valley Zapotec as early as the mid-1500s. This work contributes to the typological literature on positional verbs, demonstrating the type of morphosyntactic work that can be done with a corpus of CVZ texts, and contributes to our understanding of the structure and development of the modern Zapotec positional verb system with implica- tions for the larger Zapotec locative system.
