This phenomenon, influenced by complex religious beliefs, included several practices such as decapitation, cranial deformation, and the use of human cranial bones for skull mask manufacturing. Archaeological evidence suggests that all of these practices required specialized knowledge of skull base and upper cervical anatomy. The authors con- ducted a systematic search for information on skull base anatomical and surgical knowledge among Mesoamerican civilizations. A detailed exposition of these results is presented, along with some interesting information extracted from historical documents and pictorial codices to provide a better understanding of skull base surgical practices among these cultures. Paleoforensic evidence from the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan indicates that Aztec priests used a specialized decapitation technique, based on a deep anatomical knowledge.

Today, Huastecan speakers are comprised of two linquistic units: l) Veracruzano, distributed alonq the tropical coastlands, and I 2) Potosino, spoken in the interior hiqhlands, correspondinq to the states of Veracruz, and San Luis Potosi, Mexico, respectively.

  • Relative Clauses in Upper Necaxa Totonac: Local, Comparative, and Diachronic Perspectives1
    Relative clauses in Upper Necaxa Totonac: Local, comparative, and diachronic perspectives1 David Beck University of Alberta Relativization strategies in the Totonacan family are largely undescribed, but detailed examination of one of the languages in the group, Upper Necaxa Totonac, reveals the presence of both externally- and internally-headed relative constructions. Also of note is the presence of relativizers that mark the animacy (human/non-human) of the head of the relative construction. This paper will show that, while phylogenetic evidence clearly demonstrates the relativizers to be descended diachronically from interrogative pronouns, they are best treated synchronically as complementizers, an analysis that follows directly from the presence of internally-headed relative constructions. Totonacan languages are spoken by approximately 240,000 people (INEGI 2010) living in an area of east-central Mexico centred on northern Puebla State and including adjacent parts of Hidalgo and Veracruz (see Figure 1; languages dealt with directly in this paper are shown in red). The family is generally considered an isolate; however, recent work has suggested links to Mixe-Zoque (Brown et al. 2011) and Chitimacha (Brown et al. 2014). Although the family has only recently become the object of serious investigation and description, the focus has been largely on its (admittedly spectacular) morphology; little has been written about syntax, and even less about the structure of complex clauses. Relative clauses in particular seem to have been given short shrift—which is surprising, given that from what we do know about them they seem to have some unusual properties. Consider the example in (1) from Upper Necaxa Totonac, the language for which we currently have the most data on relativization:2 1 I would like to thank my consultants in Patla and Chicontla, especially Porfirio Sampayo Macín and Longino Barragán Sampayo, for their help putting this paper together.

The emphasis in the course is on understanding how different societies manifested a core set of beliefs shared by all Mesoamerican civilizations while at the same time maintaining local cultural identities. The course addresses changes in Mesoamerica both spatially and temporally from the Archaic Period through the Spanish Conquest. Throughout the course, there will be a general emphasis on broad themes such as religion, identity, and political organization and how these themes are detected and presented by scholars of Mesoamerican civilizations. Recommended Preparation An introductory archaeology course would be helpful, but is not required. The aims of this course are threefold: 1) To introduce you to the major cultures and time periods of Mesoamerica. 2) To help you critically examine the different ways in which scholars interpret the past. 3) To encourage you to think openly about Mesoamerican civilizations and to create your own arguments about the past. This last aim is a critical component of the course and there will be many opportunities to demonstrate this ability. 1 Anth 140 Course Syllabus Fall 2018 Introduction, Objectives, and Outcomes Mesoamerica is one of the great culture areas of the ancient and modern world.

  • The Investigation of Teotihuacan Iconography Has Made Considerable Progress
    Thomas S. Barthei DECIPHERING TEOTIHUACAN WRITING Teotihuacán ha sido considerado, hasta ahora, como una cultura "sin escritura". De un examen detenido de grafemas sistemáticamente ordenados resultó que se presentan — dentro de la iconografía — "textos" legítimos. Se revelan reglas de composición y una "sintaxis". El desciframiento del grafema to habla en favor de la hipótesis de que se trata de una base lingüística en proto-nahua. La escritura teotihuaoana existía, por lo menos, desde el siglo cuatro al siglo siete de nuestra era. The investigation of Teotihuacan iconography has made considerable progress. Both in substance and in methodology a degree of maturity has been reached which is beginning to lead to a detailed synthesis. Less satisfactory is research on the problem of whether the Teotihuacanos did possess a writing system of its own. Vague arguments for and against seem to counterbalance each other; serious studies remain deplorably sporadic. What Clara Millón wrote about "the state of our ignorance about Teoti- huacan writing" still holds true, namely that "the Teotihuacan writing system never has received the decades of expert study devoted to Maya writing" (Millón 1973: 306). This thoughtprovoking essay, however, had already recognized a spectrum of substantial and essential questions in need of solution. First of all one has to find out whether there are any configurations among the iconographic wealth of welldefined signs which might be con- sidered to represent true "texts". Contemporary writing systems in Meso- INDIANA 11, Berlin 1987 america built up their texts according to the rule of vertical arrangement and by Unkage with calendarical statements. Furthermore the early writ- ing of the Zapotees and Maya is characterized by a preference for com- bining "text" and picture, i.

Bellamy, Kate. 2021. The numeral system of Purepecha: Historical and typological perspectives. STUF - Language Typology & Universals 4. The Numeral System of Purepecha: Historical and Typological Perspectives1 Abstract The internal structure of numeral systems can shed light on processes of word formation, language contact and change. In this article I analyse the numeral system of Purepecha, a language isolate spoken in Michoacán (western Mexico), on the basis of historical and contemporary sources. The Purepecha system is unusual both typologically and areally since (i) it possesses monolexemic terms up to six, while seven to nine are compounds with five; and (ii) the forms for the base (20) and next power (400) have clear non-corporeal meanings, related instead to a configuration of objects and the notion of ‘living’, respectively.
