Human Osteological Remains from Alta Vista, Zacatecas: An Analysis of the Isolated Bone
This chapter focuses on isolated bones that are found in the archaeological context. The conjoined study of human osteological remains and mortuary sites in an archaeological context has been a focus of investigation in the New World for nearly 100 years. The human skeleton may also indicate environmental stress as evidenced by pathology. The floor was constructed of numerous layers of white plaster, a trait used by Kelley to indicate that constr…
A Personal Homenaje to Phil Weigand
Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale was “the” place to be for anyone interested in North or West Mexican studies. J. Charles Kelley, Carroll “Cal” Riley, Campbell Pennington, and Basil Hedrick constituted the cadre of scholars who specialized in the region but also served as mentors and models for what anthropological archaeology could be, even in the pre-Binfordian days. Walter Taylor also was there…
Archaeological Interpretations of West Mexican Ceramic Art From the Late Preclassic Period: Three Figurine projects
Scholars of West Mexico generally rely on the ceramic figurine tradition found in shaft tombs for interpreting the prehistory of the Late Preclassic period. Three new projects on shaft-tomb ceramics seek to advance our understanding of the Late Formative culture and societies of this region. First, ceramic figures are examined for evidence of the ball game in West Mexico; second, for cultural information about domestic and community organization;…

Three‐dimensional computed tomography of the mummy Wenuhotep
Computed tomography allows cross‐sectional imaging of anthropological as well as clinical subjects. Recently, technical innovations have made three‐dimensional reconstruction of these images feasible. We performed two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional computed tomography of a Late Period Egyptian mummy to reexamine findings seen on previous radiographic studies and to evaluate the usefulness of these techniques in paleopathology. Two‐dimensional …
