CRAFTING THE TENOCHCA IMPERIAL IDENTITY THROUGH MANUFACTURING SHELL OBJECTS (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adrian Velazquez.

Recent investigations about the Tenochca objects have shown that the mexica produced many of the pieces that they deposited inside of the offerings they buried in their Great Temple and its surrounding buildings. It seems that it was during the reigned of Axayacatl (1469-1481 A.D.) that the mexica decided to create their own imperial style not only in terms of forms and decorations but also in the technological aspect. In the present paper it is presented new data that supports this hypothesis...

Development and Applications of a Minimally Destructive Method of Sourcing Shell via LA-ICP-MS (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Evan Peacock.

Shell artifacts and shell-tempered ceramics can be chemically sourced to point of origin because shellfish are in approximate chemical equilibrium with the waterways they inhabit. Analyzing artifacts or shell temper via Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry is attractive due to the minimally destructive nature of the method. A pilot study in Mississippi funded by the NCPTT verified the potential of the method for sourcing shell-tempered pottery. Subsequent work includes the...
