Producción bibliográfica de Alfredo López Austin (1936‐2021)
Montúfar López, Aurora, Ofrenda para los dioses del agua. Estudio de las ofrendas 102 del Templo Mayor de Tenochtitlan y de petición de lluvias de Temalacatzingo, Guerrero
A fines del año pasado y bajo el sello editorial del INAH, salió de prensas Ofrenda para los dioses del agua, una ambiciosa obra de casi 300 páginas que atestigua el gusto de su autora, Aurora Montúfar López (investigadora de la Subdirección de Laboratorios y Apoyo Académico del INAH) por trascender su formación original como bióloga especializada en el ámbito de la botánica y adentrarse en los terrenos de la arqueología, la historia y la etnogra…

Colin McEwan (1951-2020) y el México Antiguo
Hace cinco lustros, a principios de febrero de 1995, viajé a Londres para participar en una reunión académica que llevaba por título 'Mesoamerican Studies: Mexican and European Perspectives'. Era organizada por el British Museum con motivo de la muy reciente apertura de su Mexican Gallery, un relativamente reducido pero espectacular espacio en el complejo arquitectónico de Bloomsbury que había sido diseñado por el insigne arquitecto Teodoro Gonzá…
Residential patterns of Mexica human sacrifices at Mexico-Tenochtitlan and Mexico-Tlatelolco: Evidence from phosphate oxygen isotopes
Miguel León-Portilla and Archaeology
After a long hospital stay, Mexican historian and philosopher Miguel León-Portilla passed away on October 1, 2019, at the age of 93. His prodigious work is known throughout the world because classics such as La filosofía náhuatl (León-Portilla 1956), Visión de los vencidos (León-Portilla 1959), Los antiguos mexicanos a través de sus crónicas y cantares (León-Portilla 1961), Las literaturas precolombinas de México (León-Portilla 1964), Trece poeta…

Plasters from Different Buildings of the Sacred Precinct of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City): Characterization And Provenance
In this work, we present the results of the characterization of 20 lime plaster samples taken from the Sacred Precinct of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City), the ancient capital of the Aztec empire. The samples come from different buildings of this precinct (A, B and D) and from the west façade of phase VI of the Templo Mayor pyramid. The objective of the work is to characterize the plaster samples, to understand the raw materials used, and to evaluate t…

Les dépôts rituels et les cérémonies de reconstitution de l'univers à Teotihuacan, Mexique
Des fouilles intensives menées dans la Pyramide de la Lune à Teotihuacan entre 1998 et 2004 ont abouti à la découverte de l'Enterrement 6, qui renferme douze individus et de nombreux animaux prédateurs, pour la plupart attachés et sacrifiés. Les restes de squelettes étaient accompagnés de riches offrandes suivant une stricte liturgie et des schémas calendaires et cosmologiques précis. Cet article décrit le contenu et la configuration spatiale de …
Characterization and Provenance of Lime Plasters From the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City)
In this work, we present the results of the analyses of 20 lime plaster samples taken from the Templo Mayor (Great Temple), the main pyramid of Tenochtitlan (Mexico), the ancient capital of the Mexicas. The samples were analysed to recover information on the mixtures used in the fabrication of the plasters and for the provenance of the raw materials (in particular, limestone) used to make the plasters. The characterization of the samples was done…
The "Codex Teotenantzin" and the Pre-Hispanic images of the Sierra de Guadalupe, México
Dedicatory Burial/Offering Complexes at the Moon Pyramid, Teotihuacan: A Preliminary Report of 1998–2004 Explorations
A series of highly elaborated burial/offering complexes have been discovered recently in association with seven superimposed monumental constructions at the Moon Pyramid. The archaeological contexts excavated during the past seven years indicate that these dedicatory complexes were symbols of a state religious ideology and communicated sociopolitical information on behalf of ruling elites. Rich artifacts made of obsidian, greenstone, shell, pyrit…
Six personnages en quête d'objets: Histoire de la collection archéologique de la Real Expedición Anticuaria en Nouvelle-Espagne
Pour mieux connaître les territoires qu'elle a colonisés en Amérique, l'Espagne a organisé des expéditions scientifiques comme la Real Expedición Anticuaria chargée, entre 1805 et 1809, d'inventorier, de décrire et de dessiner les monuments et sculptures précolombiens de la Nouvelle-Espagne. La collection « Latour Allard », acquise par la France en 1849 et aujourd'hui dans les collections du musée du quai Branly, est issue de cette mission scient…
The Offerings of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan
The Offerings of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan
Between 1325 and 1521, the Mexica people of the Aztec capital ritually buried hundreds of offerings to their gods in the depths of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan, where for more than five hundred years these gifts lay undiscovered. In complex religious ceremonies, sacred messages to the gods were expressed not only through these objects but through their exact and symbolic placement as well.In this revised edition of The Offerings of the Templo…

El pasado indígena
Visión global y unitaria del pasado indígena de México. Los autores proporcionan al lector una visión panorámica que se inicia hace más de 30 milenios con los primeros recolectores-cazadores, y sigue la pista de las grandes transformaciones sociales hasta principios del siglo XVI. En la historia incluyen las tres superáreas culturales del periodo prehispánico: Mesoamérica, Aridamérica y Oasisamérica, y muestran los vínculos que existieron entre e…
El chacmool mexica
RESUME- Très discutée, l'image mésoaméricaine du chacmool a suscité de nombreuses études inconciliables. Certains ont proposé des interprétations générales. On propose ici, au contraire, que les fonctions du chacmool, en tant qu'objet rituel, ont permis des représentations diverses selon l'époque, la localisation, les traditions culturelles et l'analyse porte spécifiquement sur ses traits dans le contexte mexica

The Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan: Its Possible Ideological Significance
In this article the significance of Teotihuacan's most sumptuous monument is studied: the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. Based on iconographie studies, together with the results of recent archaeological excavations, it is possible to deduce that the building was dedicated to the myth of the origin of time and calendric succession. The sculptures on its facades represent the Feathered Serpent at the moment of the creation. The Feathered Serpent bears the…
