The author describes changes brought by conquest and colonization in the process of ceramic production in Guatemala and Mexico. The author also shows that despite the introduction of new European ceramic modes, many production techniques and decorations of pre-Columbian origin were maintained in the manufacture of ceramics not only during the colonial period but even up until today. The following article, Didactics and cosmos: heaven and hell in the early colonial murals of Santa María Xoxoteco, Hidalgo, Mexico E\0LNNHO%¡J&OHPPHQVHQUHSRUWVRQ the fascinating colonial period murals that were used in the process of evangelization and conversion of indigenous people of central Mexico.

Besides these, the study discusses loanwords that originate in Indigenous American languages and reveals interesting generational patterns in their usage outside the area of the origin of the terms: some terms that were common a few decades ago have all but disappeared today, while others have started a new life in popular culture. 7KHYROXPHFORVHVZLWKDQDUWLFOHE\/RUUDLQH$:LOOLDPV%HFNWLWOHG The peninsular Maya’s XQ¿QLVKHG VSLULWXDO FRQTXHVW The author continues with the topic of indigenous responses WR WKH LGHRORJLFDO DQG UHOLJLRXV FKDQJHV EURXJKW WR WKH<XFDWDQ3HQLQVXOD E\ WKH FRQTXHVW :LOOLDPV%HFNFRQFHQWUDWHVRQWKHVXEMHFWRIUHOLJLRXVIXVLRQDQGV\QFUHWLVPDVZHOODVWKH FRQWLQXLW\RISUH&ROXPELDQHOHPHQWVLQFRORQLDODUWDUFKLWHFWXUHDQGEHOLHIVLQWKH<XFDWDQ 3HQLQVXOD IRFXVLQJ RQ WKH PXQLFLSDO VHDW FKXUFK DQG FRQYHQW FRPSOH[ LQ RQH DXWRQRPRXV political jurisdiction near the Spanish viceregal administrative seat in Mérida, and other LQGLJHQRXVFRPPXQLW\FKXUFKHVXQGHUWKLVDQG7L]LPLQ¶V0LVVLRQVHFFOHVLDVWLFDOMXULVGLFWLRQLQ the northeastern peninsular Maya hinterlands.
