Major work on the Pre-Columbian architecture in Mesoamerica in a continuation of the work by noted Mexican archaeologist Ignacio Marquina (b. México, 1913), who for many decades was the key reference on the topic. This new publication enriches Marquina's research with new and spectacular discoveries and updated archaeological and anthropological knowledge. Coordinated by M. Teresa Uriarte, the book analyses the historical and artistic problems of the origin of Pre-Columbian architecture, its development and influence in contemporary Mexican architecture. The first chapters examine the constructive techniques and the following chapters address the historic evolution of the different cultural zones of Mesoamerica. With texts by many experts this beautifully illustrated edition includes spectacular color plates, plans and drawings.

Are indigenous peoples "remnant" and "survivors" of the past ? Or are they inhabitants of the present that show us, with their persistence and civilizing projects, paths for the future? From the observation and the detailed record of different moments of the life of P'urhepecha people, the authors of this book give us a work that seeks to answer the questions posed, to make sure that, indeed, we are facing a resurgent people.
11 contributions consider legacy and archive data (1896–1995) and results derived from recent archaeological investigations (2012–2017) to present a review and analysis of the chrono-stratigraphy, material culture, urbanism, and economic and ritual practices at El Palacio, northern Michoacán, Mexico, between A.D. 850 and 1521.
Presents the results of the archaeological studies relative to the settlement pattern, realized within the framework of the Michoacán Projects I and III, studying of all the perceptible demonstrations of the prehispanic occupations in the region.
Uno de los mecanismos creados por la corona española para controlar el gobierno en América fue la "visita". Entre 1606 y 1616 tres oidores de Guadalajara recibieron la encomienda de recorrer la Nueva Galicia con el fin investigar las actuaciones de las autoridades y resolver los principales problemas surgidos entre españoles e indígenas. Para cumplir su misión los oidores visitadores fueron testigos y actores en asuntos relacionados con el gobierno, la ganadería, la agricultura, la minería y las costumbres. Sus testimonios tienen un «olor a hombre» más notorio que las descripciones de Mota y Escobar y Lázaro de Arregui, marcado hasta con sus defectos y trivialidades. En sus pesquisas y escritos, nuestros visitadores tratan tanto los asuntos de costumbres y «policia» (amancebamientos, borracheras y violencia) como los económicos (incremento de la ganadería y desarrollo de la minería). Los escritos aquí publicados muestran el interés de la corona española por obtener información y lograr una mejor organización en las Indias, a pesar del declive y la impotencia del Estado durante el gobierno de los «Austrias menores», por este motivo se encomendó realizar...
El reconocimiento del papel de los animales en las antiguas dietas, en las economias, politicas y los rituales, es vital para poder entender a las culturas del pasado en su totalidad. Por el otro lado, seguir las claves que se obtienen de restos de animales preteritos puede aproximarnos a entender la antigua relacion que existia entre los humanos y el mundo que les rodeaba. En respuesta a un creciente interes en el campo de la zooarqueologia, este libro presenta investigaciones que representan a las multiples culturas y regiones de Mesoamerica, tratando especificamente los aspectos mas recurrentes en la literatura zooarqueologica. Desde el punto de vista geografico, los ensayos reunidos aqui informan acerca del uso de animals por parte de los pueblos indigenas de toda el area mesoamericana, ubicada entre los confines nortenos de Mexico y la frontera sur, en Centroamerica. Esto incluye culturas tan diversas como los olmecas, mayas, mixtecos, zapotecos e indigenas de Centroamerica. El marco temporal del libro se extiende desde el Preclasico y Clasico, sobre el Posclasico, los tiempos coloniales e historicos, hasta la epoca actual. Los capitulos del libro, escritos por expertos en la ...
Fray Jerónimo de Alcalá (1508-1545) es muy probablemente el autor de la monumental Relación de Michoacán, uno de los testimonios más importantes sobre el pasado prehispánico de esa región y una de las más útiles crónicas de los primeros años de su conquista.
The Bajio (West-Central Mexico) has been considered by various authors to be a key region for understanding the processes of interaction and migration among Central, West, and Northern Mesoamerica. Since the late 1990s, our knowledge of the prehispanic societies of the Bajio has benefitted from the development of several new archaeological projects carried out by various Mexican and French institutions. The principal contribution of this research has been an emphasis on extensive excavations, which were previously quite limited in the region. The numerous stratified contexts studied have revealed new data that permit a better definition of ceramic complexes in the Bajio during the Epiclassic, the period of the zone's greatest demographic growth. This volume offers a new overview of the ceramic traditions of this region and their links with those of the neighbouring areas.
Devoted partly to original research relating to the Tarascan language and antiquities, Mexican bibliography, and natural science of Michoacán, and partly to publishing or republishing older manuscript or printed works on the idioms or history of Michoacán (the later series published with half-title: Biblioteca histórico-filológica michoacana).
