Un soplo de aire fresco
La pandemia de Covid-19 cercenó duramente la naturalidad del movimiento, imposibilitando los desplazamientos y la normalidad de la interacción presencial. Esta no presencia de personas dejó también en soledad y silencio los espacios y construcciones representativas de los procesos socioculturales. Tras la paulatina desaparición de las restricciones, los portadores del patrimonio cultural se reencontraron a sí mismos volviendo a lo importante de s…
The mirrors from Chiapa de Corzo
Smith and Kidder (1951:44) were among the first to highlight pyrite pre-Hispanic mirrors as “marvels of painstaking craftsmanship.” These mirrors present reflective surfaces consisting of 20–50 pyrite tesserae with beveled edges, perfectly cut, and average 2 mm in thickness. The first known examples of mirrors in Mesoamerica were the “Olmec” type—a concave mirror created from a single hematite piece developed during the Middle Preclassic period. …
The Preclassic military macaw (Ara militaris) from the Cueva de Avendaños (Chihuahua, Mexico) was not locally procured
The oldest macaw specimen in Pre-Hispanic Mexico and the southwestern United States was recovered in Cueva de Avendaños, Chihuahua, Mexico, at the base of the Sierra Madre Occidental. It dates to the Late Archaic/Early Agricultural period (1929-2057 cal BP). The head is the only preserved element of the macaw and it was mummified through natural causes. Research on this specimen examines its sex identification and its geographical range, question…
Los contextos mortuorios en la Cueva de Avendaños
En este trabajo se presenta una muy breve descripción de los restos mortuorios, los cuales apuntan a que se trató de un complejo contexto funerario que, por sus características, guarda múltiples semejanzas con algunos ritos mortuorios practicados por grupos indígenas contemporáneos en el noroeste de México
Archaeological Attractions Marketing
Tourism activity in general, with the heritage tourism sector in particular, represented the second inflow of foreign currency to Mexico in 2019 (pre-pandemic), with more than USD 24 million. According to local polls, the main purpose of travel is leisure. However, more than half of tourists (local and foreigner) who visit Mexico enjoy/visit an archaeological site, a museum, and/or a local community. The latter illustrates that the heritage touri…
An Early Military Macaw from Cueva de Avendaños, Chihuahua
During a 2016 archaeological salvage project in the municipality of San Francisco de Borja, Chihuahua, the mummified head of an adult military macaw (Ara militaris) was recorded from a rock shelter. Because of their aesthetic beauty and colorful plumage, macaws occupied an important place within the collective imagination of the pre-Hispanic communities. Macaws and macaw feathers also were important ritual and social symbols, often used in Pueblo…
Reflexão digital
Os estudos de Museologia, Patrimônio e Arqueologia digital são campos em crescimento que representam novas ideias e formas de proteção do patrimônio cultural, assim como novos dispositivos para a educação e difusão do mesmo. O Projeto de Estudos sobre Espelhos, apresentado aqui, é uma iniciativa acadêmica e uma aplicação web de fácil acesso (Linked Open Data, Open access, Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage) onde se recompila informaç…
Sítio de arte rupestre Cañada de El Café, Chuhuahua, México, e suas implicações na arqueologia regional
Em junho de 2015, arqueólogos e alunos da EAHNM visitaram o sítio Cañada del Café, Aldama, Chihuahua, previamente cadastrado pelo Arqueólogo Francisco Mendiola (INAH Chihuahua) em 1996 no deserto de Chihuahua. Nessa visita foi constatada a existência de 7 conjuntos de pinturas que não haviam sido registrados anteriormente nas paredes do cânion de rocha sedimentar presente no referido sítio. Do exposto, surge o Projeto Arqueológico Cañada El Café,…
Pasando La Turquesa
En el Valle de Ónavas, Sonora, México, en la zona media del río Yaqui, se encontraron varias piezas de verde claro a un material de color verde o azul intenso visualmente identificado turquesa durante un trabajo de campo realizado allí en 2004. Se suponía que la fuente de este material provenía del suroeste americano, aunque hay que reconocer que existen ciertas fuentes de turquesa en Sonora, que pueden haber sido explotadas también en la época p…
Obsidian Provenance Data Reveals New Insights into Archaic Lifeways in Chihuahua, Mexico
Archaeologists know less about how hunter-gatherers and early agriculturists lived during the Archaic period in the Mexican Northwest compared to the U.S. Southwest. To evaluate Archaic period mobility, lithic technology, and regional and temporal patterns in raw material procurement in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, we characterized the trace elemental composition of 61 obsidian artifacts from Rancho Santa María I, II, and El Peñón del Diablo u…
Los Primeros Mexicanos
Where do we come from? How did we get here? These are all normal questions for those of us who would like to know how humans first arrived to the American continent. Although the idea that human groups entered the continent via the Bering Strait is now generally accepted, the details of how, when, and where are still debated among scholars. Los Primeros Mexicanos, by Guadalupe Sánchez, provides fresh insight into these questions and details how h…
How to Make a Pyrite Mirror
Manufacturing Techniques of Pyrite Inlays in Mesoamerica
La pirita y su manufactura
Several pyrite inlays that shaped Prehispanic mosaic mirrors have been recovered in many Mesoamerican sites. Recent researches on these objects have been focused on their symbolic meaning, morphology, trade and use, with few studies that address their manufacturing techniques and production organization. In this paper we present the technological analysis we applied to different pyrite inlays from four Mesoamerican sites, supported by experimenta…
Pyrite-Encrusted Mirrors at Snaketown and Their External Relationships to Mesoamerica
Due to the repatriation process of 20,475 objects from the site of Snaketown, Arizona, the Arizona State Museum Snaketown Mortuary Documentation Project (2001) was conducted in 2001. This project provided the opportunity to re-analyze the material—which included more than 50 pyrite encrusted mirrors. These items are considered to be one of the most distinctive material elements of the interaction between the American Southwest/Northwest Mexico an…
The Pre-Hispanic Communities of the Onavas Valley
Despite the impressive amount of archaeological research conducted in Sonora in the last few decades, some areas remain little researched. The Middle Río Yaqui region is one such area. Traditionally, this region has been identified as part of the Río Sonora archaeological tradition that embraces the sierra region from near the international border south to northern Sinaloa. No archaeological research has been conducted in the middle of this regio…
Ballcourts and Ceramics
During the middle Sedentary period (ca. A.D. 1000-1070) in the deserts of southern and central Arizona, crowds from near and far regularly gathered at the centers of Hohokam villages to participate in ritual ballcourt festivities. These events were ideal venues for barter and exchange, leading some theorists to hypothesize that periodic marketplaces were associated with the ritual ballgames. Recent ceramic provenance and vessel-form evidence from…
