Hayley Woodward Department of Art History – Tulane University Experiencing the Codex Xolotl in Mexico City Thanks to the Gener Hayley Woodward Department of Art History – Tulane University Experiencing the Codex Xolotl in Mexico City Thanks to the generous support of the Stone Center, I was able to travel to Mexico City for two and a half weeks this summer. The purpose of this study was to observe firsthand the natural landscape of the Valley of Mexico to better understand the Codex Xolotl (the subject of my thesis project) as a cartographic document. Using Mexico City as a base, I planned to recreate the itinerary of the travels undertaken by Xolotl and the nomadic Chichimecs in the codex to better understand their movements through space, how they perceived the geography of the Valley of Mexico, and how the natural environment and geography of the Valley of Mexico may have affected their itinerary decisions. This project explored spatial relationships between sites represented in the Chichimec migration story, carefully considering the natural landscape and topographical features depicted and excluded from the Codex, and in the end, resulted in my better understanding of the Codex Xolotl as evidence of Nahua cartography. Using Mexico City as the hub of my travels, I was able to execute a number of day trips to sites notated in the Codex Xolotl, including Tula, Teotihuacan, Tenayuca, and Cholula. My trips to these sites included a visit to the archaeological sites and their museums, which resulted in my better understanding of the built environment, lived space, and visual culture of the pre- Hispanic settlements who interacted with the Chichimecs. My visits to these pre-Hispanic sites were fruitful to my studies, as I was able to document similarities and differences in architecture and sculpture across the Valley of Mexico. Of particular interest was my trip to the site of Tenayuca, one of the first pyramids built in the Valley and the first permanent settlement of the Chichimecs notated in the Xolotl. At Tenayuca, I observed consistent visual iconographic details throughout the site and in the objects in its museum, iconographic details that persist in the Xolotl. This visit helped me connect the visual representations of the Codex Xolotl with the lived space of the pre-Hispanic Nahua of Central Mexico. In addition, I visited the archaeological sites and museums of Tenochtitlan’s Templo Mayor and Tlatelolco, and Chapultepec Park, all sites notated on the later pages of the Codex Xolotl and located within Mexico City. While my time physically spent at each site was vital to my project, the interstitial time traveling between sites, whether by taxi, bus, or metro, was just as important to my understanding of the spatial geography of the Codex Xolotl. During these trips, I was able to observe and record how the topography of the land changed between places, observing firsthand the land that the Chichimecs traversed throughout the pages of the Xolotl. While much of Mexico City has been built up over the colonial and modern eras, the mountainous landscape surrounding the Valley remains. Trips through the hills by bus, such as to the sites of Tula and Cholula, enlightened me to the long and arduous extent of the Chichimec’s travels in the Xolotl. These observations were only made possible by my firsthand travels to the region; using an ichnographic ground plan of the Valley of Mexico obscures certain elements of the landscape, which must be viewed (and experienced) from the ground. I also prioritized taking time to observe the natural landscape from high vantage points throughout the metropolis of Mexico City. This included visiting the hill of Tepeyac to the north, the Castillo of Chapultepec to the west, and the viewing deck of the Torre Latinoamerica in the center of the city. From these vantage points, I was able to map the mountainous landscape that would have surrounded the five lakes of the pre-Hispanic Valley of Mexico from the same perspective as potential indigenous cartographers in the pre-Hispanic and colonial period (in the case of Tepeyac and Chapultepec). These visits led me to notice various inconsistencies between the actual environment and that which was depicted in the Xolotl. This has aided my thesis project, which examines the strategic representation of place in the codex. In addition to the sites I included in my grant proposal, I visited a number of museums in Mexico City in order to better my understanding of the visual culture of the Aztecs and colonial artists. I was able to carefully examine and photograph every object in the Sala Mexica of the Museo Nacional de Antropología, which will aid in my research as a scholar of Aztec and early colonial art in the future. I also visited the Museo Nacional de la Cartografía, the Museo de la Ciudad de México, the Museo Franz Mayer, and the Museo Nacional del Virreinato, where I documented various examples of colonial paintings, maps, architecture, and sculpture. During these visits, I established a foundation for future research by creating my own database of art objects from the Valley of Mexico, which will undoubtedly color my future scholastic endeavors. This trip was successful on numerous fronts. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit Texcotzingo due to logistical and safety concerns. While I hope to visit Texcotzingo during future trips to Mexico City, overall, my recreation of the itinerary was complete. I was able to visit sites throughout the Valley of Mexico, thereby recreating the itinerary and migration undertaken in the Codex Xolotl. The biggest result from my travels was the observation of the discrepancy between the hilly natural environment of the Valley and the conventionalized single eastern mountain range represented in the Codex Xolotl. While Nahua scholars consider the Codex Xolotl to be one of the more realistic and objectively true cartographic histories in the indigenous mapping tradition, my fieldwork revealed the glaring and strategic inconsistencies between the actual and represented landscape of the Valley of Mexico. .

  • The Chronological Period Is a Temporal Unito There Is a Wealth of Material on Late Pre-Columbian Middle America Available Sin the Chronicles and Codices
    THE POSTCLASSIC STAGE IN MESOAMERICA Jane Holden INTRODUCTION The subject of inquiry in this paper is the PostcLassic stage in Middle America. As used by prehistorians, the term "Postclassic" has referred to either a developmental stage or to a chronological period. These two con- cepts are quite different, both operationally and theoretically. The stage concept in contemporary usage is a classificatory device for st,udying cul- ture units in terms of developmental and theoretical problems. For com- parative purposes, a stage is usually defined in broad and diffuse terms, in order to outline a culture type. A developmental stage is not tempor- c3lyl detined although it is necessarily a function of relative time. The chronological period on the other hand is defined through the temporal alignment of culture units and establishes the historical contemporaneity of those units. Thus the developmental stage is a typological device and the chronological period is a temporal unito There is a wealth of material on late pre-Columbian Middle America available sin the chronicles and codices. However, the study of such mater- ials. is a ppecialty in itself, hence only a minimum of historical informa- tion *ill be presented in this paper and this will be of necessity, based on secondary sources. The following procedure will be employed in this paper. First, brief summaries of formal statements by various authors on the developmental stage concept will be presented, as well as some temporal classifications of the Postclassic. Secondly, the available archaeological evidence will be summarized to provide a temporal framework. And finally, consideration will be given to the implications derived from the comparison of the Post- classic as a temporal category and as a developmental stage.

  • Land, Water, and Government in Santiago Tlatelolco
    ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses conflicts over land and water in Santiago Tlatelolco, an indigenous community located in Mexico City, in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The specific purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies that the indigenous government and indigenous people in general followed in the defense of their natural resources in order to distinguish patterns of continuity and innovation. The analysis covers several topics; first, a comparison and contrast between Mesoamerican and colonial times of the adaptation to the lacustrine environment in which Santiago Tlatelolco was located. This is followed by an examination of the conflicts that Santiago Tlatelolco had with neighboring indigenous communities and individuals who allied themselves with Spaniards. The objective of this analysis is to discern how indigenous communities in the basin of central Mexico used the Spanish legal system to create a shift in power that benefitted their communities. The next part of the dissertation focuses on the conflicts over land and water experienced by a particular group: women. This perspective provides insight into the specific life experience of the inhabitants of Santiago Tlatelolco during Mesoamerican and colonial times. It also highlights the impact that indigenous people had in the Spanish colonial organization and the response of Spanish authorities to the increasing indigenous use of the legal system. The final part discusses the evolution of indigenous government in Santiago Tlatelolco from Mesoamerican to colonial rulership. This section focuses on the role of indigenous rulers in Mexico City public works, especially the hydraulic system, in the recollection of tribute, and, above all, in the legal conflicts over land and water.

  • The Devil and the Skirt an Iconographic Inquiry Into the Prehispanic Nature of the Tzitzimime
    THE DEVIL AND THE SKIRT AN ICONOGRAPHIC INQUIRY INTO THE PREHISPANIC NATURE OF THE TZITZIMIME CECELIA F. KLEIN U.C.L.A. INTRODUCTION On folio 76r of the colonial Central Mexican painted manuscript Codex Magliabechiano, a large, round-eyed figure with disheveled black hair and skeletal head and limbs stares menacingly at the viewer (Fig. 1a). 1 Turned to face us, the image appears ready to burst from the cramped confines of its pictorial space, as if to reach out and grasp us with its sharp talons. Stunned by its gaping mouth and its protruding tongue in the form of an ancient Aztec sacrificial knife, viewers today may re- coil from the implication that the creature wants to eat them. This im- pression is confirmed by the cognate image on folio 46r of Codex Tudela (Fig. 1b). In the less artful Tudela version, it is blood rather than a stone knife that issues from the frightening figures mouth. The blood pours onto the ground in front of the figures outspread legs, where a snake dangles in the Magliabecchiano image. Whereas the Maglia- bechiano figure wears human hands in its ears, the ears of the Tudela figure have been adorned with bloody cloths. In both manuscripts, long assumed to present us with a window to the prehispanic past, a crest of paper banners embedded in the creatures unruly hair, together with a 1 This paper, which is dedicated to my friend and colleague Doris Heyden, evolved out of a talk presented at the 1993 symposium on Goddesses of the Western Hemisphere: Women and Power which was held at the M.H.

The Church of San Francisco, as the oldest and first established by the mendicant Franciscans in Mexico, acts as a repository of the past, collecting and embodying centuries of memories of the city and the congregation it continues to represent. Many factors have contributed to the church's significance; the prestige of its site, the particular splendor of ceremonies and rituals held at both the Church and the chapel of San Jose de los Naturalés, and the liturgical processions which originated there. While the religious syncretism of some churches, especially open air chapels, has been analyzed, the effect of communal inscription on the architecture of Mexico City is an area of study that has not been adequately researched. This project presents a holistic approach to history through memory theory, one which incorporates cross-disciplinary perspectives including sociology and anthropology.

  • Black-On-Orange Ceramic Production in the Aztec Empire's Heartland
    BLACK-ON-ORANGE CERAMIC PRODUCIION IN THE AZTEC EMPIRE'S HEARTLAND Mary G. Hodge, Hector NeS, M. James Blackman, and Leah D. Minc Compositional and stylistic analyses of decorated ceramics have provided information about the regional or- ganization of economic systems in the Aztec empire's core zone, the Basin of Mexico. Late Aztec Black-on-orange ceramics (A.D. 1350-1520) are found at nearly all archaeological sites in the Basin of Mexico, but prior to this study their sources were not verified. This study has investigated whether Black-on-orange ceramics were produced in one or many areas in order to define in greater detail dependent communities' economic relations with the Aztec empire's capital. To identify production areas, paste compositions of 85 Late Aztec Black-on-orange ceramic samples were compared using neutron-activation analysis. The analysis distinguished three diffierent production areas in the eastern and southern parts of the Basin of Mexico, indicating that Late Aztec Black-on-orange ceramics represent a style adopted by regional manufacturing centers, and are not products of a single center. Because a number of decorative motifs are exclusive to particular paste groups, the sources of some Black-on- orange vessels can now be identified visually. El analisis composicional y estilistico de la ceramica pintada ha producido informacion sobre la organizacion regional de los sistemas economicos en el centro del imperio azteca, la Cuenca de Mexico. Los tiestos de la ceramica Negro sobre Anaranjado (Azteca III) del periodo Azteca Tardio (1350-1520 D.C.) se encuentran en casi todos los sitios arqueologicos en la Cuenca de Mexico, pero anteriormente a este estudio sus origenes no fueron verificados.
