The so-called Danzantes (i.e. “dancers”) are bas-relief figures on large stone slabs set into the outside of the platform. Nude men with slightly Olmecoid features (i.e. the down-turned mouth), the Danzantes are shown in strange, rubbery postures as though they were swimming or dancing in viscous fluid. Some are represented as old, bearded individuals with toothless gums or with only a single protuberant incisor. About 300 of these strange yet powerful figures are known at Monte Albán, and it might be reasonably asked exactly what their function was, or what they depict. The distorted pose of the limbs, the open mouth, and closed eyes indicate that these are corpses, undoubtedly chiefs or kings slain by the earliest rulers of Monte Albán. In several individuals the genitals are clearly del... (查看原文)
Plant materials and dried feces, or coprolites, were remarkably well preserved and abundant, for the ancient inhabitants of these rockshelters had only scanty notions of hygiene. The diet was heavy in vegetable foods, some of which came from domesticated plants. Earliest of all is the bottle gourd; this appeared by about 6500 BC. It is even older in the Archaic period of Oaxaca and is thus with squash the most ancient cultigen of the New World, present – probably as a domesticate – by 6000 BC. The history of the bottle gourd, usable only as a container since the meat is inedible, is now known through ancient DNA analysis of archaeological specimens. This plant is definitely of Old World origin, with an initial center of domestication in Africa. By 7000–6000 BC it had reached East Asia. Ear... (查看原文)

边旅游墨西哥边看的这本书，看着书里的描述在眼前呈现，书也在旅行结束看完了。非常棒的一本书。读这本书后对墨西哥的历史有了一定的了解，从开始对墨西哥历史的一头雾水，到现在对大框架有了一定的概念。期待玛雅这本书今年11月的新版。

古代墨西哥文明综述，虽然没有详细展开，但提供了中美文明玛雅以北的所有文明发展脉络，其中包括许多传统视角不太关注的区域，是很优秀的入门材料。本书和The Maya :Ancient Peoples and Places为同一系列，共同构建了一个完整的古代中美文明体系。很难相信本书初版是1962年，作者五十多年中一直不懈的吸收新内容进行修订令人敬佩，本书为第七版（已出第八版可我没找到资源），中美洲的早... 古代墨西哥文明综述，虽然没有详细展开，但提供了中美文明玛雅以北的所有文明发展脉络，其中包括许多传统视角不太关注的区域，是很优秀的入门材料。本书和The Maya :Ancient Peoples and Places为同一系列，共同构建了一个完整的古代中美文明体系。很难相信本书初版是1962年，作者五十多年中一直不懈的吸收新内容进行修订令人敬佩，本书为第七版（已出第八版可我没找到资源），中美洲的早期奥尔梅克年表已更新，国内中文资料至少我看到的都还在使用旧年表，不知第八版有什么新改动。 (展开)
