La numerosa y acelerada construcción de infraestructura en México, suelen poner en riesgo la subsistencia de los vestigios arqueológicos ubicados a lo largo y ancho del territorio, los cuales deben ser salvaguardados, sin que esto signifique detener el desarrollo del país. En este sentido se planeó conjuntamente con la Comisión Federal de Electricidad y la Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes, la instrumentación de mecanismos adecuados para que la realización de las obras sea planificada...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Atzompa floreció durante un lapso de tiempo marcado por la expansión del estado Zapoteca dirigido por Monte Albán. De acuerdo a la evidencia arqueológica de Atzompa la producción cerámica represento una acción importante dentro de la sociedad atzompeña, donde posiblemente la élite del lugar dirigió esta acción.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper I will investigate 150 years of Mexican archaeology by analyzing La Sorpresa, a hotel-museum-research center located in Mitla, Oaxaca. Using archival materials, principally photographs and correspondence, I will explore the hotel as a memory space, emphasizing the interactions of archaeologists and travelers who stayed there, considering also the...

This is an abstract from the "Checking the Pulse: Current Research in Oaxaca Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I will discuss how Zapotecs both continued and innovated the construction traditions from the central valleys of Oaxaca in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec by showing the results of the analysis of the lidar scan made during the 2022–2023 field season of the Guiengola Archaeological Project. The archaeological site of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) conducted on a late Middle Formative ceramic sample recently excavated at Etlatongo, in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico, demonstrates both local ceramic production and regional interaction with the Valley of Oaxaca. A total of 78 vessel fragments dating to the Yucuita phase (500-300 BCE) were recovered from...

This is an abstract from the "Step by Step: Tracing World Potting Traditions through Ceramic Petrography" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Mixteca Alta Ceramic Study (MACS) in the Nochixtlán Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, aims to understand how early urbanization in the valley impacted potters’ crafting techniques over time and space. Early urbanization in the valley spanned the Yucuita and Early Ramos ceramic phases (500–100 BCE) of the Middle to...

The Valley of Oaxaca was unified under the rule of Monte Albán until its collapse around AD 800. Using findings from John Paddock's long-term excavations at Lambityeco from 1961 to 1976, Michael Lind and Javier Urcid examine the political and social organization of the ancient community during the Xoo Phase (Late Classic period). Focusing on change within this single archaeological period rather than between time periods, The Lords of Lambityeco traces the changing political relationships...

This is an abstract from the "Checking the Pulse: Current Research in Oaxaca Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. People living in the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains still travel largely on foot, especially where cars are impossible or when they are moving their livestock from one place to another. Prior to the widespread ownership of cars today, travel by foot was even more common and was the only mode of transportation in the prehispanic era....

This is an abstract from the "Dynamic Frontiers in the Archaeology of Chiapas" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeological community of the Zoque is still under development in the state of Chiapas. Most of the archaeological research focuses on the Maya and some on the Soconusco Coastal region, but very little research on the Zoque themselves. We know that the Zoque had a very complex long-distance regional trade network from where they...

This is an abstract from the "Teotihuacan: Multidisciplinary Research on Mesoamerica's Classic Metropolis" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Artistic representations are often the most salient indices of interaction between Teotihuacan and other communities throughout Mesoamerica. Interpretation of this artistic evidence, however, is complicated and often quite contested in the archaeological literature. In this paper, we would like to explore...

The three dimensional imaging of artifacts discovered at the Los Horcones site in Southern Chiapas Mexico has enabled archaeologists to approach artifacts in a brand new way. With the use of a 3D scanner hardware and 3D program software, objects and features of various sizes are scanned to create a proportional and scale digital version. The scanning of artifacts allows for minimal handling of the objects decreasing the likelihood of wear, damage, deterioration, and contamination, effectively...

Offering 1 from Los Horcones is an assemblage of figurine masks, whistles, rattles and vessels that offers an interesting opportunity for analysis that provides information of the auditory, olfactory, and visual experience of this small ritual. The offering, initially thought to be simply a collection of figurines and masks, were later discovered to be whistles—small musical instruments whose simplicity belies the importance of the meanings they encoded. Experimental archaeological analysis...

This is an abstract from the "Checking the Pulse: Current Research in Oaxaca Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Los sitios arqueológicos han sido vistos comúnmente como un conjunto de elementos arquitectónicos, generando una visión estática del espacio. Sin embargo, en esta presentación los entenderé también como espacios caminables, es decir, sitios que eran transitados por personas en tiempos precoloniales. Durante los recorridos...
