Identifying a Forged Maya Manuscript in Unesco's World Digital Library
Among the original holdings of the recently opened World Digital Library was a Spanish manuscript on the Maya that supposedly dates to 1548 (initially available athttp://www.wdl.org/en/item/2961). It was given the titleEl modo de cómo hacían la pintura los indígenas(“How the Indians Made Their Paintings”) and contained an explanation of Maya culture accompanied by drawings of Maya glyphs and deities. Detailed analysis shows that thePinturamanuscr…

The “Canek Manuscript” and Other Faked Documents
During the last two decades, four manuscripts have surfaced, all purportedly of sixteenth- to eighteenth-century origin and each describing historical episodes of the contact between the Maya and Spaniards. Although some of them received scholarly attention and have been used as authentic sources of Maya history and culture, their identification as modern fakes can be established beyond a reasonable doubt. The texts show characteristics identical…

Spanish Colonization and Indian Property in Central Mexico, 1521–1620∗
After the conquest of Mexico (1519–21), the Spaniards coopted Indian administrative structures, allowing the King and the new Colonial government to exploit traditional regional revenues. Key participants of the military campaigns were rewarded with rights to the tribute and limited labor conscription (encomienda) required of the indigenous population in a particular district. Legally, encomi-enda did not confer property rights, but holders of th…

Pre-Columbian Old World Coins in America
Does the occasional find of a Roman, Greek, or Hebrew coin in America indicate ancient transoceanic contact? In this study, 40 reports of such coins are analyzed in order to determine whether any can support the diffusionist position. Discovery dates, minting periods, geographical distribution, and the absence of prehistoric context all suggest that the coins were lost very recently. For those who argue that coins found in fields and farmyards ma…
Specialization, Market Exchange, and the Aztec State
Archaeological data from Huexotla, an Aztec-period site in the Valley of Mexico, are used to test the proposition that Mexican states arose and expanded to facilitate specialization and market exchange. By and large, this proposition is not supported by the Huexotla data. During Early Aztec times, the Valley of Mexico was divided into a number of small, autonomous city-states. The Huexotla data suggest that the local economies of these city-state…

A Tentative Classification of Non-Maya Inscriptions in Mesoamerica
En Mesoamérica se conoce, hasta el momento, solamente una cantidad muy limitada de inscripciones precortesianas que no pertenecen a la escritura Maya. Para establecer una clasificación provisional de los diferentes sistemas de escritura, se aplican en el presente artículo criterios que no requieren un conocimiento detallado de los sistemas o un amplio material básico. - Según la clasificación elaborada en el artículo se distinguen los siguientes …
