This article describes patterns of schwa found in spoken Yucatecan languages (Itsaj, Lacandon, Mopan, and Modern Yucatec) and Colonial Yucatec. It shows that although the alphabet used for recording Colonial Yucatec does not include schwa, it is nevertheless possible to demonstrate that Colonial Yucatec actually had schwa. We argue that variation in the spelling of roots and affixes that in other Yucatecan languages have schwa can be used for identifying schwa in Colonial Yucatec and that the same method can be used for revealing the presence of schwa in Colonial Chontal, a Cholan language, as well as in texts written in the logosyllabic script that recorded Mayan languages spoken in Classic and Postclassic times.

Chol-language populations long held a central place in the Maya area, both geographically and culturally. The present landscape presents a quite different situation: with a geographic distribution that has become peripheral and a reduced demography, two of the three “surviving” Chol languages have already been classified as endangered by Unesco. The aim of this article is describe the principal phases of the evolution of the spatial boundaries of Chol populations through their stories, and to provide a few keys to understanding their movements. A study of this kind could certainly have been limited to historical data, but ethnological and linguistic observations make it possible to refine the parameters needed for the characterization of these boundaries, and to appreciate the interrelations these populations maintain with each other and with the “outer” world.

La defensa de los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas es un tema que durante muchos años pasó inadvertido para la sociedad en general. Aun así estos pequeños grupos lucharon y se levantaron para hacerse valer en una contienda donde está de por medio la cultura y la misma vida. Las políticas premiaron esta defensa con reformas y el pueblo aplaudió este levantamiento durante una corta temporada. A pesar de esto los pueblos indígenas siguen viviendo atropellos sociales y políticos, y hoy en día viven procesos de transculturación que los orienta abolir su cultura y las formas de ser y estar en su contexto social. La imposición ideológica es un eje transversal que impera en todos los estratos sociales. Ahora podemos darnos cuenta como la hegemonía y el control del poder en México llega suministrada por diferentes medios, siendo el aparato educativo el mejor camino para el control y la estratificación social. El despertar étnico en Tabasco no ha sido vivido como tal, en su nueva concepción inclusiva de la condición indígena a la educación, para los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo. Las políticas que se promulgan en el área de educación indígena queda en un proceso que carece de forma, medio y mecanismos que orienten la naturaleza indígena con la realidad social. 159

Les populations de langues cholanes ont eu longtemps une situation centrale, tant géographiquement que culturellement, au sein de l’aire maya. Le paysage actuel présente une situation bien différente : avec une répartition géographique devenue périphérique et une démographie réduite, deux des trois langues cholanes « survivantes » sont déjà classées parmi les langues en danger par l’Unesco. L’objectif de cet article est de rendre compte des principales phases dans l’évolution des frontières spatiales des populations cholanes à travers leurs histoires et de donner quelques clefs pour comprendre leurs mouvements. Une telle étude aurait certes pu se contenter de données historiques, mais des considérations d’ordres ethnologique et linguistique permettent d’affiner les paramètres nécessaires à la caractérisation de ces frontières et d’apprécier les interrelations de ces populations entre elles et avec l’« extérieur ». Chol-language populations long held a central place in the Maya area, both geographically and culturally.

Las jornadas exploratorias de las tierras guayaneses que arrancaron desde el Caribe o el Atlántico no tuvieron éxito alguno, pero tampoco la del Adelantado Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada que salió desde el Nuevo Reino de Granada. Sin embargo, don Antonio de Berrío, que junto con su esposa, María de Oruña, heredó las tierras del Adelantado, siguió con la búsqueda del Dorado y llevó la capitulación de aquel, que estipulaba unas 400 leguas, a la creación de la inmensa provincia de Guayana que cubrió todas las tierras del noreste del continente. Para entender la posibilidad de pensar en términos tan inmensas, se aclara las diferentes concepciones de las tierras en España y el Mundo Nuevo, comparando las suertes en la Baja Alpujarra almeriense dadas a Berrío por sus servicios, con las grandes extensiones que el Adelantado manejaba; una manera de ayudar a comprender la atracción que estos nuevos terrenos ejercieron sobre los españoles que esperaban forjar una vida próspera en el nuevo hemisferio. The exploratory journeys Guyanese land to boot from the Caribbean or the Atlantic had no success, but neither of Governor Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada who came from the New Kingdom of Granada. However, Don Antonio de Berrio, who along with his wife, Mary of Oruña, inherited the lands of the Adelantado, continued the search of El Dorado and took the surrender of that, which provided about 400 miles, to the creation of the vast province Guyana, which covered all the lands of northeastern Africa. To understand the possibility of thinking in terms so immense, it clarifies the different conceptions of land in Spain and the New World, comparing luck in Almería Alpujarra Baja Berrio given for their services, with the large driving the Adelantado; a way to help understand the attraction exerted on these new lands the Spanish who hoped to win a prosperous life in the new hemisphere.

11. Decolonizing Historical Archaeology in Southern Oaxaca, Mexico: Late Formative to Republican Periods

- Abstract
The cultural area roughly corresponding to the modern state of Oaxaca, Mexico, was a dynamic cultural arena which saw the rise and development of multiple complex societies and their respective historiographic traditions. This dissertation focuses on the development and application of integrative approaches to the archaeological, documentary, and oral records from the Chontal highlands in southern Oaxaca, with a particular emphasis on the Chontal community of Santa Maria Zapotitlan. Following a critique and reconfiguration of the methodological and theoretical tenets of ‘historical archaeology’, I propose to acknowledge and incorporate Mesoamerican indigenous literate societies within a more inclusive paradigm. Based on data collected in the ‘Chontalpa Historical Archaeology Project’, I draw my data from a rich documentary corpus of indigenous ‘territorial-narratives’, archaeological surveys and excavations, visual and archaeometric analysis of artifacts, ethnoarchaeology, and a systematic collection of oral traditions. By subjecting these epistemically independent sources to corroborative, complementary, and contrastive modes of inquiry, I explore low-level spatial and temporal correlates followed by high-level correlates of interregional interaction, colonialism, factionalism, and resistance. These integrative correlates are examined through five diachronic case-studies: 1) Monte Alban’s imperialism in the Formative period and interregional interactions in the Classic period; 2) Mixtec, Zapotec, and Pochutec conquests and domination of the Chontalpa in the Early-Late Postclassic; 3) The Aztec incursion and multi-polity/inter-ethnic factionalism in the Late-Terminal Postclassic; 4) Chontal and Spanish interregional competition, colonialism, and resistance in the Colonial Period; and 5) The Chontal historical image, from the Colonial through the Modern Period. By calling attention to the contrasts between the material and documentary records, this inclusive approach

We used 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, and FGA) to genetically characterize 361 individuals from 11 indigenous populations (Amuzgo, Chinanteco, Chontal, Huave, Mazateco, Mixe, Mixteco, Triqui, Zapoteco del Istmo, Zapoteco del Valle, and Zoque) from Oaxaca, Mexico. We also used previously published data from other Mexican peoples (Maya, Chol, Tepehua, Otomí, and Mestizos from northern and central Mexico) to delineate genetic relations, for a total of 541 individuals. Average heterozygosity (H) was lower in most populations from Oaxaca (range 0.687 in Zoque to 0.756 in Chontal) than values observed in Mestizo populations from Mexico (0.758 and 0.793 in central and northern Mestizo, respectively) but higher than values observed in other Amerindian populations from South America; the same relation was true for the number of alleles (na). We tested (using the software Structure) whether major geographic or linguistic barriers to gene flow existed among the populations of Oaxaca and found that the populations appeared to constitute one or two genetic groups, suggesting that neither geographic location nor linguistics had an effect on the genetic structure of these culturally and linguistically highly diverse indigenous peoples. Moreover, we found a low but statistically significant between-population differentiation. In addition, the genetic structure of Oaxacan populations did not fit an isolation-by-distance model. Finally, using AMOVA and a Bayesian clustering approach, we did not detect significant geographic or linguistic barriers to gene flow within Oaxaca. These results suggest that the indigenous communities of Oaxaca, although culturally isolated, can be genetically defined as a large, nearly panmictic population in which migration could be a more important population mechanism than genetic drift. Finally, compared with outgroups in Mexico (both indigenous peoples and Mestizos), three groups were apparent. Among them, only the Otomí population from Hidalgo has a different culture and language.

El propósito de este artículo es presentar el análisis realizado mediante el índice de reemplazo de Thompson para determinar qué poblaciones hablantes de lengua indígena están en proceso de extinción, a fin de establecer programas orientados a la supervivencia de esos grupos indígenas. Con base en la información sobre la estructura por edad derivada de un censo de población, es posible obtener una estimación de la tasa de reproducción. Según los resultados, las lenguas en proceso de extinción acelerada en México son: chontal, mayo, chontal de Oaxaca y matlatzinca; mientras que las que están en proceso de extinción lenta son: mazahua, mame, maya, chontal de Tabasco y otomí.
