Download or read book Routes Interaction and Exchange in the Southern Maya Area written by Eugenia Robinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores routes of interaction and exchange in the Southern Maya Area, a zone that had both short- and long-distance trade and whose natural resources were exploited by merchants and rulers, colonists and entrepreneurs during Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Aztec, colonial and modern times. The book presents the research of both archaeologists and art historians to identify routes of interconnection, to demonstrate the strategic importance of settlements and ritual locations, and to assess the significance of modes and mediums of exchange. The contributors employ innovative approaches, making use of state-of-the art technologies to reproduce and analyze the archaeological landscape (e.g. LiDAR, GIS, and least-cost path analysis) and to source and characterize archaeological materials (e.g. neutron activation analysis (NAA), X-ray fluorescence analysis [XRF] and strontium analysis). The book combines these innovative approaches with earlier data sources and past analyses to develop a new, synthetic analysis of interaction. Routes, Interaction and Exchange in the Southern Maya Area will appeal to professional academics, students, and interested lay readers from a broad range of social science fields including anthropology, archaeology, geography, economics, history, and art history and is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses in Mesoamerican archaeology.

Download or read book Mesoamerican Healers written by Brad R. Huber and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing practices in Mesoamerica span a wide range, from traditional folk medicine with roots reaching back into the prehispanic era to westernized biomedicine. These sometimes cooperating, sometimes competing practices have attracted attention from researchers and the public alike, as interest in alternative medicine and holistic healing continues to grow. Responding to this interest, the essays in this book offer a comprehensive, state-of-the-art survey of Mesoamerican healers and medical practices in Mexico and Guatemala. The first two essays describe the work of prehispanic and colonial healers and show how their roles changed over time. The remaining essays look at contemporary healers, including bonesetters, curers, midwives, nurses, physicians, social workers, and spiritualists. Using a variety of theoretical approaches, the authors examine such topics as the intersection of gender and curing, the recruitment of healers and their training, healers' compensation and workload, types of illnesses treated and recommended treatments, conceptual models used in diagnosis and treatment, and the relationships among healers and between indigenous healers and medical and political authorities.
Download or read book To Be Like Gods written by Matthew G. Looper and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Association for Latin American Art Book Award, 2010 The Maya of Mexico and Central America have performed ritual dances for more than two millennia. Dance is still an essential component of religious experience today, serving as a medium for communication with the supernatural. During the Late Classic period (AD 600-900), dance assumed additional importance in Maya royal courts through an association with feasting and gift exchange. These performances allowed rulers to forge political alliances and demonstrate their control of trade in luxury goods. The aesthetic values embodied in these performances were closely tied to Maya social structure, expressing notions of gender, rank, and status. Dance was thus not simply entertainment, but was fundamental to ancient Maya notions of social, religious, and political identity. Using an innovative interdisciplinary approach, Matthew Looper examines several types of data relevant to ancient Maya dance, including hieroglyphic texts, pictorial images in diverse media, and architecture. A series of case studies illustrates the application of various analytical methodologies and offers interpretations of the form, meaning, and social significance of dance performance. Although the nuances of movement in Maya dances are impossible to recover, Looper demonstrates that a wealth of other data survives which allows a detailed consideration of many aspects of performance. To Be Like Gods thus provides the first comprehensive interpretation of the role of dance in ancient Maya society and also serves as a model for comparative research in the archaeology of performance.

Download or read book Mundo Maya written by George Reston and published by Nowtilus. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Los mayas elevaron hacia el Sol que tanto veneraban sofisticadas construcciones de piedra y sacrificaron víctimas humanas en sus altares. Fue un pueblo dominado por guerreros y sacerdotes que combinó con sorprendente paridad el talento con la barbarie, la belleza con la fuerza, el arte con la sangre."(Wen El bolígrafo) Una cultura que compaginó una sofisticación astronómica, matemática y arquitectónica sin parangón con los sacrificios humanos y la guerra continua. Mundo maya nos acerca de un modo breve pero enormemente preciso a una de las culturas más enigmáticas de la humanidad. Los mayas fueron ejemplares astrónomos, capaces de levantar observatorios y de crear un calendario más preciso que el que tenemos; fueron sobresalientes matemáticos que desarrollaron un sistema de cálculo y de lectura con que podían administrar un imperio de un modo exacto y ecuánime, además de ser los primeros que utilizaron el número 0; además su sistema social fue revolucionario e irrepetible ya que mezclaba un rígido sistema militar de castas con un protosocialismo. ¿De dónde procedían esos saberes? ¿Qué se esconde tras su misteriosa desaparición? George Reston es un investigador incansable que ha indagado durante años para intentar responder estas cuestiones, y nos presenta sus conclusiones en este libro de un modo accesible y sintético, claro y divulgativo. Hace hincapié en los factores más revolucionarios de la cultura, como su astronomía o sus construcciones que, a día de hoy, siguen admirando al mundo entero, pero no oculta que existen numerosos puntos sin explicar de la historia maya, inmensos vacíos que aún no han sido llenados por la investigaciones científicas: llenar esos huecos de un modo riguroso y fundamentado es la tarea principal que acomete en esta obra. Razones para comprar la obra: - Los estudios sobre la cultura maya se han multiplicado en la actualidad y, con ellos, los misterios y enigmas que rodean a esta civilización.
