2001A0812xvi220 pages with figures maps tables plates appendix bibliography and index. Octavo 9" x 6" bound in original wrappers. Inscribed by the author. First edition.<br /><br />Based on their enormously complex calendars that recorded cycles of many kinds the Aztecs and other ancient Mesoamerican civilizations are generally believed to have had a cyclical rather than linear conception of time and history. This boldly revisionist book challenges the understanding. Ross Hassig offers convincing evidence that for the Aztecs time was predominantly linear that it was manipulated by the state as a means of controlling a dispersed tribute empire and that the Conquest cut off state control and severed the unity of the calendar leaving only the lesser cycles. From these he asserts we have inadequately reconstructed the pre-Columbian calendar and so misunderstood the Aztec conception of time and history. Hassig first presents the tradition explanation of the Aztec calendrical system and its ideological functions and then marshals contrary evidence to argue that the Aztec elite deliberately used calendars and timekeeping to achieve practical political ends. He further traces how the Conquest played out in the temporal realm as Spanish conceptions of time partially displaced the Aztec one. His findings promise to revolutionize our understanding of how the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican societies conceived of time and history.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Inscribed on title.

1968A0566420 pages with six maps some folding seventeen tables some folding five diagrams appendices glossary bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in orange with black lettering to spine. Inscribed by Nutini to Professor George M Foster. First edition. A significant contribution to the field of Mesoamerian studies this investigation of the kinship system of a community of Tlaxcalan Indians in the Central Mexican Highlands presents a structural-functional analysis of marriage and the family. The inhabitants of San Bernardino Contla are Nahuatl-speaking Indians descended from the Chichimec tribes that in pre-Conquest times inhabited the area roughly coinciding with the present state of Tlaxcala. Here many of the early Colonial Indian institutions have survived with a continuity that is not found in any comparable area in the New World. In analyzing the institutions of marriage and the family Dr Nutini emphasizes the social structure and religious aspects of San Bernardino Contla and he also describes the territorial and political organization of the municipio. He places the structure of marriage and the fanily in San Bernardino Contla within the context of Mesoamerican marriage and family structure indicating possible ways by which this neglected field to anthropological inquiry may be improved.

First edition limited to 1000 copies.<br /><br />Metepec is a city and municipality in the State of Mexico in Mexico. It lies adjacent to the east side of the state capital Toluca. Mexico City lies further to the east. The name Metepec is from Náhuatl meaning hill of the maguey plants. However it is also known in the Matlatzinca language as "Nepinta-Tuhi" meaning 'people of corn land' and in the Otomi language as "Ntaguada"." During the Spanish conquest Gonzálo de Sandoval and his Otomi allies conquered Toluca Tenango Tlacotepec Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca Calimaya along with Metepec other Matlatzinca and Mexica population centers whose lands were then abandoned by the natives. These lands were then redistributed among the Spaniards who participated in the Conquest and to those local chiefs that supported the Spanish. Lands in and around Metepec were given to Captain Juan Gutiérrez Altamirano who brought the Franciscans in to evangelize the area and then these lands passed onto the estates of the Counts of Santiago. The area was considered an "alcaldía mayor" literally 'major mayorship' by 1560 with the village of Metepec as its seat. Records of municipal government transactions begin in the 19th century. Finally the municipality of Metepec was created in 1821; although this was not ratified by the government of the State of Mexico until 1827. Metepec is known for its pottery items and it is still of economic importance. The artisans of this area have organized into the Asociación de Artesanos de Metepec y la Unión de Alfareros de Metepec A.C. Association of Artisans of Metepec and the Union of Potters of Metepec. Principal crafts include objects made from clay glass and includes saddlemaking. The city has about 300 craftsmen as well as 275 family workshops. The craft Metepec is best-known for is the Arbol de la vida "Tree of Life" which is a traditional pottery representation of the tree from which Adam and Eve ate from in the Biblical story. Monday is market day in the downtown called plaza in which merchants go to sell fruit vegetables and even few electronics. In recent years the municipality has increase their economic importance via shopping malls commercial plazas and others.<br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus.

From the library of George M Foster. 1st edition.<br /><br />The Zapotecs were once one of the most dominant ethnic groups in the region now known as Oaxaca. The early Zapotecs were a sedentary group relying mostly on agricultural means to survive. They worshipped a pantheon of gods the foremost of which was Cosijo the rain god symbolized by the jaguar and the snake symbols common in Mesoamerican cultures. Religious rites sometimes included human sacrifice. Aside from the gods Zapotecs also worshipped their ancestors and emphasized the concept of death. The splendid city of Monte Alban was the Zapotecs' main cultural center the place in which their rich and fascinating civilization flourished for about 2000 years. Today Monte Alban is considered one of the most majestic cultural centers in all of Middle America. Monte Alban is a complex array of pyramids and platforms built on a mountain range overlooking the valleys. It was built in honor of the Zapotec gods and in celebration of the military victories of the Zapotec people. By 700 A.D. Monte Alban had become the capital of the Zapotec land and home to some 250000 people. The Zapotecs struggled against another mighty group the Mixtecs for control over their vast lands. By the 15th century both these groups faced another worthy adversary the Aztecs who were trying to dominate the trade routes of Chiapas and Guatemala. The Zapotecs managed to maintain political autonomy thanks mostly to their greatest king Cosijoeza. When the Spanish arrived however the whole region became subject to the their forces Today the Zapotecs are composed mostly of two groups those in the Southern mountains and those residing in the southern half of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Many elements of Zapotec culture are still ingrained in Oaxacan life influencing customs dress songs and literature. <br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus.
