The integration of multimodal and multiscalar 3D imaging and visualization techniques can be used to explore ritual and non-ritual uses of rock shelters by analyzing potentially meaningful relationships between natural and constructed features. Situating rock shelters within the greater context of Maya subsurface ritual practice may in turn help further define the Maya concept of caves. LiDAR and SFM can be integrated with traditional mapping techniques and ArcGIS to rapidly and precisely...

Two large-scale water management systems, one in the Tehuacán Valley of Puebla, Mexico and the other in the Safford Basin of southeastern Arizona, are briefly described and compared. In the Tehuacán Valley, the Purrón Dam exhibits a massive construction effort totaling about 370,000 m3 of earth and stone. In contrast, the 28 "hanging" canals of the Safford Basin are small but extensive in nature, with the longest about 9.5 kilometers in length and the total length of all canals exceeding 80...

Recent study showed that lead isotope analysis constitutes an efficient tool to discriminate between ceramics from different origins and can be used to trace pottery provenance in the Eastern Mediterranean (Renson et al. 2011 [Archaeometry 53] 37-57, Renson et al. [Archaeometry] in press). We are now applying this approach to Olmec-style pottery from Mexico. In this study, we analyzed lead and strontium isotopes of fragments from various Olmec-style ceramic wares excavated at San Lorenzo,...

Dental non-metric data provide a means for the analysis of genetic affinities and relationships of individuals, and can therefore be used to reconstruct past migration and interaction patterns, both within and between sites. The dental traits of sixteen individuals, along with 21 individual teeth, from Cerro Magoni, an Epiclassic site in the Tula region, were collected in this preliminary analysis. Additionally, 13 individuals from two Xajay sites, El Zethe and Huesamenta, were also assessed....

Neil Miller's masters' paper, "Figurines and Middle to Late Postclassic Changes in the Western Lower Papaloapan Basin (A.D. 1200-1521)," examines figurine styles for the Mixtequilla area, Cotaxtla, and the Central Highlands during the Late Postclassic period to evaluate evidence of different identities.

The Mexican Quaternary Mammal Database (MQMD) data are focused on published mammal occurrences in paleontological localities and archaeological sites in México, covering the last 2.6 million years and up to the early Holocene, although some unpublished data from museum collections are included, as well as “grey” literature. More than 15,000 records have been secured from 876 documents. That large database includes records for more than 800 localities and 250 mammal species pertaining to 12...

This file consists mainly of information recorded by Lynette Heller concerning the variables employed in obsidian analysis, with later clarifications by Barbara Stark. It included two addenda, one by Lynette Heller grouping codes according to production technology, and the other noting some special circumstances affecting a few obsidian collections. The obsidian files from PALM 1 and PALM2 are not constructed the same way (PALM 2 is non-relational), and the obsidian coding is not thoroughly...
