Cosmology in the New World
This project consists of articles written by members of Santa Fe Institute’s cosmology research group. Overall, the goal of this group is to understand the larger relationships between cosmology and society through a theoretically open-ended, comparative examination of the ancient American Southwest, Southeast, and Mesoamerica.

General Resources from the Long Term Vulnerability and Transformation Project
Long-Term Coupled Socioecological Change in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico: Each generation transforms an inherited social and environmental world and leaves it as a legacy to succeeding generations. Long-term interactions among social and ecological processes give rise to complex dynamics on multiple temporal and spatial scales – cycles of change followed by relative stasis, followed by change. Within the cycles are understandable patterns and irreducible uncertainties; neither...

La Ventilla Radiocarbon Bayesian Chronology
AMS radiocarbon dates (n = 78) from human bone collagen were analyzed in the largest high-resolution chronology study to date at the ancient city of Teotihuacan in central Mexico (c. AD 1–550). Samples originate from the residential neighborhood of La Ventilla, located in the heart of this major urban center. Here, a trapezoidal model using Bayesian statistics is built from 14C dates combined with data derived from the stylistic analysis of ceramics from burial contexts. Based on this model, we...

Neutron Activation Analysis of Ceramics from Mexico
This project contains data on 45 ceramic specimens from Cerro Portezuelo, Mexico, and 6 clay specimens from the surrounding region. These data were produced at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the mid 1970s. The specimens were analyzed as part of Barbara Branstetter-Hardesty's Ph.D. dissertation work at the University of California, Los Angeles. Additional information regarding these specimens may be found in her dissertation: Branstetter-Hardesty, B. (1978) Ceramics of Cerro...

Paleoethnobotany of Otumba
Analysis of macrobotanical remains recovered from excavations in the Aztec city-state of Otumba (Mexico State, Mexico) in 1988 and 1989. Emily McClung de Tapia (Instituto de Investigaciones Antropologicas, UNAM) directed the botanical analysis. The excavations were directed by Thomas Charlton (University of Iowa) and Deborah L. Nichols (Dartmouth College). Boris Aramis Aguilar and Rebeca Rodriguez Bejarano carried out the preliminary analysis of the specimens. Associated project resources are:...

Projecto Paleoetnobotanico del Barrio Oaxaqueno (Tlailotlacan)
This project analyzed macrobotanical remains recovered in the 1987 and 1989 excavations of the Oaxaca Barrio (Tlailotlacan) at Teotihuacan. Emily McClung de Tapia (Instituto de Investigaciones Antropologicas, UNAM) directed the macrobotanical analysis. The excavations were directed by Michael Spence (University of Western Ontario). Diana Martinez carried out the final verification of the data. Associated project resources are: 1. Flotation Samples Processed (Excel table), 2. Results of...
Proyecto Palacio de Quetzalcoatl
Analysis of macrobotanical remains recovered through flotation of sediment excavated from the Feathered Serpent Pyramid at Teotihuacan in 1988 and 1989. The analysis of the macrobotanical material was directed by Emily McClung de Tapia (Instituto de Investigaciones Antropologicas, UNAM). The excavations were directed by Ruben Cabrera (Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia), Saburo Sugiyama (Arizona State University), and George Cowgill (Arizona State University). Associated project...

Teotihuacan Valley Project
The Teotihuacan Valley Project was designed to map pre-Hispanic and Colonial period occupations of the Teotihuacan Valley, the northeastern arm of the Basin of Mexico. Initiated in the 1960s by William T. Sanders, the project eventually produced five volumes of reports and many ancillary works, covering the ecology of the valley and the settlement patterns of its successive time periods.
