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.

SETTING THE STAGE The story of developed civilizations in the Americas begins in a region called Mesoamerica. (See map on opposite page.) This area stretches south from central Mexico to northern Honduras. It was here, more than 3,000 years ago, that the first complex societies in the Americas arose. TAKING NOTES The Olmec Comparing Use a Mesoamerica’s first known civilization builders were a people known as the Venn diagram to compare Olmec and Olmec. They began carving out a society around 1200 B.C. in the jungles of south- Zapotec cultures. ern Mexico. The Olmec influenced neighboring groups, as well as the later civi- lizations of the region. They often are called Mesoamerica’s “mother culture.” The Rise of Olmec Civilization Around 1860, a worker clearing a field in the Olmec hot coastal plain of southeastern Mexico uncovered an extraordinary stone sculp- both ture. It stood five feet tall and weighed an estimated eight tons. The sculpture Zapotec was of an enormous head, wearing a headpiece. (See History Through Art, pages 244–245.) The head was carved in a strikingly realistic style, with thick lips, a flat nose, and large oval eyes. Archaeologists had never seen anything like it in the Americas. This head, along with others that were discovered later, was a remnant of the Olmec civilization.

  • Pre-Columbian Agriculture in Mexico Carol J
    Pre-Columbian Agriculture in Mexico Carol J. Lange, SCSC 621, International Agricultural Research Centers- Mexico, Study Abroad, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Texas A&M University Introduction The term pre-Columbian refers to the cultures of the Americas in the time before significant European influence. While technically referring to the era before Christopher Columbus, in practice the term usually includes indigenous cultures as they continued to develop until they were conquered or significantly influenced by Europeans, even if this happened decades or even centuries after Columbus first landed in 1492. Pre-Columbian is used especially often in discussions of the great indigenous civilizations of the Americas, such as those of Mesoamerica. Pre-Columbian civilizations independently established during this era are characterized by hallmarks which included permanent or urban settlements, agriculture, civic and monumental architecture, and complex societal hierarchies. Many of these civilizations had long ceased to function by the time of the first permanent European arrivals (c. late fifteenth-early sixteenth centuries), and are known only through archaeological evidence. Others were contemporary with this period, and are also known from historical accounts of the time. A few, such as the Maya, had their own written records. However, most Europeans of the time largely viewed such text as heretical and few survived Christian pyres. Only a few hidden documents remain today, leaving us a mere glimpse of ancient culture and knowledge. Agricultural Development Early inhabitants of the Americas developed agriculture, breeding maize (corn) from ears 2-5 cm in length to perhaps 10-15 cm in length. Potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, and avocados were among other plants grown by natives.

Lindb aSchool of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA bIndependent Scholar, Santa Ana, CA, USA Abstract We describe tombs and ceramic collections in Zapotec style excavated in central Mexico, outside Oaxaca. The most notable are 13 ceramic vessels and objects from the Xoo complex (a.d. 500–800) excavated by José García Payón in Calixtlahuaca (near the city of Toluca), and three Zapotec-style tombs excavated in Los Teteles (near the city of Puebla). We also mention Zapotec remains excavated near Tula, Hidalgo, and tombs in other parts of central Mexico. We briefly explore the implications of these data for our understanding of central Mexico after the fall of Teotihuacan.

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.

Dicen que de músico, poeta y loco todos tenemos un poco. Pero Alfonso fue Caso aparte. Tanto, que resulta difícil aprehender su trayec- toria vital usando simplemente una cronología como instrumento. Su activi- dad no distingue periodos. La investigación corrió en paralelo al desempeño administrativo y el impacto de su proyecto académico a la legislación que impulsó. En esta ocasión planteamos recorrer sólo uno de los ejes principales de su pensamiento y acción práctica: su papel en la institucionalización de las políticas culturales de México, específicamente en lo que se refiere a la manera en que hizo del indigenismo una política pública y mecanismo para la toma de decisiones. Alfonso Caso fue un ejemplo particular del intelectual cuyo compromiso social fue puesto en práctica a través de la acción política y los cargos en la administración pública.2 Su aplicación de la investigación a los problemas institucionales puede apreciarse con claridad en la construc- ción de las políticas basadas en la perspectiva indigenista. 1 Centro Nacional de Derechos Humanos (CENADEH), Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos.

    EL SOBRENATURAL COCIJO Y PODER DE LINAJE ZAPOTECA 1 EL SOBRENATURAL COCIJO Y PODER DE LINAJE EN LA ANTIGUA SOCIEDAD ZAPOTECA Marilyn A. Masson* Resumen La variación en las manifestaciones del sobrenatural Cocijo revela múltiples dis- fraces de esta entidad, incluyendo una deidad formal, la encarnación del rayo y el compañero espiritual de individuos poderosos. El contexto de las imágenes de Cocijo en los sitios precolombinos del valle de Oaxaca es principalmente funerario, lo cual sugiere que los rituales que tenían que ver con esta entidad estaban vinculados con la conmemoración de los ancestros como medio importante de reconocer el poder basa- do en el linaje entre los líderes de la sociedad zapoteca. Aquí se argumenta que las escenas de estas efigies reflejan rituales congelados en una acción que refleja la comuni- cación con los ancestros y la transformación de humanos en Cocijos o viceversa. Los rituales de Cocijo probablemente eran oficiados por sacerdotes formales, tal vez los hijos de la nobleza, quienes pueden haber tenido un poder considerable dentro del estado de Monte Albán. Esta sugerencia se basa en analogías con el período histórico, cuando el poder político era compartido por cargos influyentes del sacerdocio. THE COCIJO SUPERNATURAL AND LINEAGE POWER IN ANCIENT ZAPOTEC SOCIETY Abstract Variations in the manifestation of the supernatural entity Cocijo reveal multiple guises, including a formal deity, the embodiment of lightning, and the spirit compan- ion of powerful individuals. The context of Cocijo images at Precolumbian sites in the valley of Oaxaca is primarily funerary, which suggests that rituals involving this entity were linked to ancestor commemoration as an important means of acknowledging lineage-based power in the leadership of Zapotec society.

Within the Fondo, essentially a repository of the Mexican archaeologist Caso’s papers, I was particularly interested in works relating to his excavations of Zapotec tombs at Monte Albán, in the modern-day state of Oaxaca, in México. The Fondo’s collection is distributed among three locations in Mexico City, at the Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología e Historia (BNAH), housed in the Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia; at the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas (IIA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM); and at the former Instituto Nacional Indigenista (now Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo de Pueblos Indígenas, CNDPI). My main goal in reviewing the materials of the Fondo Alfonso Caso was to obtain additional notes and images relating to Caso’s excavations in Monte Albán in the 1930s and ‘40s.
