Jane Hill has organized a Nahua symposium, entitled "The Ongoing Encuentro: Nahua Ethnohistory, Culture, and Language" at the 1992 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association. The AAA meeting will be held December 2-6 in San Francisco. The symposium has attracted such a large number of participants that it will be divided into two sections on December 6th. The first is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. and the second from 10:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. According to the preliminary schedule the symposium will be held in the Continental Ballroom of the San Francisco Hilton Hotel. Following is a list of participants and their paper titles in the order in which they will appear in the program.

The Northeastern Nahuatlatos organized by Tim Knab met at the Auberge de 4 Saisons the weekend of May 9 and 10, 1992, to discuss texts. John Bierhorst discussed his translation of the Anales of Cuauhtitlan that will be available from Arizona Press in the fall. Louise Burkhart brought along the Nahuatl play she will be working on under an NEH grant this year. Ed Calnek discussed the chronologies he is deriving from texts and their relationships to concrete historical dating. Jorge Klor de Alva discussed his work in the new edition of Miguel León-Portilla's Broken Spears and The Aztec Image of Self and Society: An Introduction to Nahua Culture from Utah Press as well as his work with the Confesionarios and Chimalpain. Willard Gingerich discussed the application of the techniques of modern literary criticism to Nahuatl texts and will be working in conjunction with Tim Knab on applying those methods to specific texts of the Cantares. Members of the group would like to know if anyone knows of the whereabouts of a photographic copy of the Diario de Juan Bautista supposedly in the archives of the Cathedral of the Virgin of Guadalupe, as none of us have been able to obtain access to the original.
T.J. Knab's anthology of the translations of Thelma D. Sullivan's A Scattering of Jades; Narrative and Performance: Literatures of the Aztec World of Ancient Mexico will be published by Simon and Schuster. The manuscript Dreams of Lost Worlds: Dreaming, Curing, and the Aztec Underworld in the Sierra de Puebla has been completed and is being prepared for submission. Word Masters: Parameters of Performance, Metaphor and Meaning in Modern Aztec Rhetoric from the Sierra de Puebla is in the final stages of preparation. A collection of ethnographic tales entitled From Between Earth and Sky: Stories of the Modern Aztec from the Sierra de Puebla, Mexico is also being prepared for submission.
"Geografía del Inframundo I," has been published in Cahiers du Gral, no. 19, in Montreal, and another version will appear in Estudios. An expanded version of this material will appear in English in a volume being edited by Peter T. Furst under the title "Nehnemi ipan in Talocan: Life in the Holy Earth, The Aztec Underworld in the Natural World of the Sierra de Puebla." Another paper concerning Nahuat prayers, "Nimitztatauhtia Talocan, 'I Beseech Thee Most Holy Earth:' Prayers and Incantations of the Underworld," will appear in Journal of Latin American Lore.
(2) J.F. Schwaller announces the creation of a Nahua electronic network called NAHUAT-L that will facilitate communications among scholars. NAHUAT-L is an unmoderated discussion list that will focus on Aztec studies in general and the Aztec language in particular. Scholars interested in beginning projects will find the discussion list useful in determining if others are already working in a particular field. The list may also be used to answer questions about Nahuatl translations, historical details, and all aspects of Aztec life and culture. Anthropologists, archaeologists, linguists, historians, and all interested in the Aztecs are welcome to participate.
The languages of the list will be English and Spanish, although scholars are encouraged to submit pieces in Nahuatl. The list will be used as a primary means of publishing the guide to Aztec language manuscripts that was begun in Estudios de Cultura Nahuatl. The network owner hopes to develop an FTP directory where Nahuatl language texts can be stored for public use.

(3) Doren L. Slade has just published a book
entitled Making the World
Safe for Existence: Celebration of the Saints among the Sierra
Nahuat of Chignautla, Mexico (1992, University of Michigan
Press, 300 pp. $34.50 cloth). The book presents an in-depth description
of the cult of the saints as practiced in Chignautla, Puebla
in the central highlands of Mexico. Data gathered over twenty
years of field research and the rich interpretations offered
allow the reader to explore Chignauteco cosmology as it is revealed
in the elaborate rituals held to honor the saints. The primacy
the author assigns to the experience these Indians have of their
world and the place of the saints reveals the vitality of indigenous
elements lying at the core of a world view that has endured social
and spiritual conquest within the larger context of political
and economic domination established after the Conquest. This
book will especially interest Nahua specialists, Mesoamericanists,
and anthropologists in general and graduate students in the field,
as well as scholars of religion and social psychologists.

(4) Edward Sisson writes that NN readers may be interested in a pre Columbian mural discovered at Tehuacán Viejo, Puebla, in April 1991. The fieldwork was sponsored by the University of Mississippi, a Fulbright Hayes Faculty Research Grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia.
Tehuacán Viejo is the largest of three multiethnic "cacicazgos" that controlled the Tehuacán Valley at the Spanish Conquest. Established in the 13th century by Nahuatl-speaking Nonoalco migrants from Tula, these cacicazgos were incorporated into the "Aztec Empire" in the third quarter of the 15th century.
Painted on the back (west) wall of a buried room, the mural was partially destroyed by later construction. The preserved portion of the mural is ca 8.25 meters long by ca 2.25 meters high. A lower zone depicts red circles on a white stucco ground. The upper zone has seven and a half (originally nine) polychrome shields painted on a burnt sienna mud plaster ground. Identified motifs on the shields include the head of Xipe Totec and a night sun from which the symbol "atl-tlachinolli" flows. The Xipe Totec is strikingly similar to representations in the Codex Borgia. Above each of the painted shields there is a small hole which is believed to have held a wooden peg on which an actual shield was hung. The painted shields may represent ranks or grades of warriors, the warrior society(ies), personal insignia, conquered towns ("subjetos"), or individual deities.
The room was entered through a colonnaded doorway on the east. At least nine alternating yellow, red, and blue bands were painted on the doorjambs and columns. The color bands may represent the levels of heaven so that symbolically anyone leaving the room would be descending from the heavens. Although the area beyond the doorway has not been excavated, the doorway probably gives onto a sunken patio around which other rooms are arranged.

(6) Anne-Marie Wohrer writes: In November I received my doctorate in Social Anthropology and Ethnology in Paris with the equivalent of Summa cum laude. The director of the thesis was M.J. Galarza and the members of the jury were M.G. Stresser-Péan, J.P. Berthe, C. Duverger, and M. Thouvenot. The title of my dissertation was "Xipe Totec -- Tlacaxipehualiztli: Glyphic Study of a Divine Aztec Complex; The Festival, the God." The dissertation is in five volumes, two of text and three of plates. There is a microfilm edition in French (soon available) and a printed edition in Spanish will be published by INAH in Mexico City.
The main purpose of the research is the creation of a kind of dictionary containing pictographs related to the god Xipe Totec and to the related gods Tlatlauhqui Tezcatlipoca, Camaxtli, and Itztapaltotec. The second purpose is the creation of a glossary of Indian terms (Nahuatl, Mixtec, Cuicatec, Tarascan) related to that glyphic complex.
The theoretical basis of the method is that the image which appears in an Indian manuscript belongs to a writing system still to be discovered. The image is a drawing loaded with phonetic content (a word or part of a word). To discover that relation, the result of which would be the reading of the image, we need first to analyze the image as a drawing and second to look for terms related to it. I consider my research as a necessary preliminary to the reading of the image.
The methods for analyzing the drawings and gathering the Indian terms are extensively explained in volume I (245 p.). Analysis of the drawings that form part of what I call the "glyphic complex" follows three steps, with each step corresponding to one volume of plates. Volume II, the first step in the analysis, contains related images selected out of a large number of pre- and post-Columbian manuscripts, mural paintings, and engravings (66 color plates). I have provided complete reproductions of these images including their immediate surroundings. I call them "general pictographs."
In Volume III (85 color plates), the second step of the analysis, I provide drawings of the general pictographs, systematically broken down into their constitutive elements. At this stage of the analysis the drawings have been reduced to what I call their "constitutive parts." Volume IV (35 plates) contains the third analytical step and contains what I call the "glyphs." These are the minimal graphic (and probably phonetic) expressions of that divine complex obtained by selecting among the constitutive parts. The Yopitsontli, the feather of Tlauhquecholli, the Chicahuaztli, the zapote-leaf skirt, the mask of human skin, and the clothes made of human skin are among the most common glyphs related to the divine complex.
As regards the gathering of Indian terms related to the Xipe Totec Tlacaxipehualiztli Complex, the method consists of gathering texts and creating a glossary, both of which are contained in Volume V (168 p.). The texts have been selected from 16th- and 17th-century sources and are presented as they originally appear. The Indian terms (mostly Nahuatl) in the glossary have been extracted from the texts without any modification of their spelling. Each term is followed by its origin, an analytical translation into French, and reference to figures in the plates.
The dissertation begins after the usual forwards and acknowledgments with a general introduction and an exhaustive description of the festival of Tlacaxipehualiztli. I attempt in the conclusion to establish a link between a selected number of glyphs and Indian terms and to trace particular religious practices in the names of present-day villages, villages where the Xipe cult was probably very active in pre-Columbian times. Volume I contains a large bibliography and an Index of Indian names.
(7) John Carlson communicates the following items: A copy of my study "Venus-regulated Warfare and Ritual Sacrifice in Mesoamerica: Teotihuacan and the Cacaxtla 'Star Wars' Connection," which is an expanded version of the paper I presented at the Third "Oxford" International Conference on Archaeoastronomy, held in St. Andrews, Scotland, 10-14 September 1990, was published as Center for Archaeoastronomy Technical Publication No. 7 in 1991. It deals with evidence for a type of ritual warfare, regulated by the motions of Venus, that originated in the highlands of Mexico at the great cosmopolitan center of Teotihuacan sometime in the first millennium A.D. It subsequently spread throughout much of ancient Mesoamerica, including the Maya lowlands. This "Tlaloc Venus" warfare involved the taking of sacrificial captives for the ritual transformation of blood into water invoking forces of human and agricultural fertility. At the site of Cacaxtla in highlands Mexico, spectacular murals have recently been discovered that depict such a Tlaloc Venus war and the "Venus Enclosure" where the captives were executed.
An abbreviated version of this work will be published in the conference proceedings volume entitled Astronomies and Cultures being edited by Clive Ruggles and Nick Saunders. The Oxford conference monograph is being expanded with a more general introduction and has been accepted for publication by a university press. The plan is to include in my paper a "Scorpion Man" study, along with a more complete illustrated report of the Cacaxtla murals and the relevant Teotihuacan materials. Your comments and criticisms would be very welcome. I would appreciate any reprints or preprints of your work that might be relevant to studies of Cacaxtla, Teotihuacan, and the Mesoamerican world in the Epiclassic Period.
An article entitled, "Mural Masterpieces of Ancient Cacaxtla," written by George Stuart has been published in the September 1992 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. I proposed this article based on my National Geographic grant research and served as the chief consultant. It serves as a good source of color photographs of the new mural discoveries in advance of final publication.
I am looking for references to scorpions and scorpion lore in Nahua ethnographic and ethnohistorical sources. I am also interested in references to Venus lore and observations: Morning Star, Evening Star, associations with San Juan, etc.
(8) The Denver Museum of Natural History has assembled an exhibit entitled, "Aztec: The World of Moctezuma," open to the public from September 26, 1992 to February 21, 1993. The exhibit represents a cooperative effort among the Denver Museum, the Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia, the Museo del Templo Mayor, and the Mesoamerican Archives of the University of Colorado at Boulder. The NN editor spoke with one of the Denver Museum staff members on the phone who said that the exhibit features 300 artifacts, including burial offerings, statuary, ceramics, jewelry, murals, a model of the Templo Mayor, dioramas of the chinampas and much more. The exhibit was inaugurated on October 1 with a lecture by Carlos Fuentes. There will be two lecture series and a symposium on the Aztecs among other programs. NN subscribers have already been sent brochures from the Denver Museum, but anyone who would like more information on the exhibit or related programs should write to:
Denver Museum of Natural History Public Programs 2001 Colorado Blvd. City Park Denver, CO 8020
As announced in NN number 12, book reviews will be a permanent feature in future issues. Presses continue to send review copies of new publications and I am in the process of distributing them to subscribers willing to undertake the task. If you would like to be included in the list of reviewers please drop me a note. Most of the titles that presses send are publications dealing with the Nahuas. However, I have decided to include a few titles that will probably be of general interest to readers even though their topics are not directly about Nahuas. For example, recent books received on Columbus or informative works on the civilizations of Peru will be reviewed. If you have any suggestions regarding book reviews please let me know.
Anne Paul's symposium volume contains new information, new analyses of old materials, and new perspectives on the Paracas phenomenon that flourished during the Early Horizon (ca. 900 BC to 200 BC) and Early Intermediate Periods (200 BC to AD 600) on the southern Peruvian coast. This work may interest Mesoamericanists since the Early Horizon of the Andes shares some characteristics with Formative and Preclassic Olmec cultural florescence in Mesoamerica. Chapter 1 by Anne Paul offers an overview of Paracas culture. She provides a brief history of archaeological investigations followed by a discussion of Paracas chronology. Paul includes an important summary of radio-carbon dates and correlations with standard Andean culture histories. She attempts to clarify the meaning of the term "Paracas" by disentangling how the word is used when discussing textiles, pottery, and architecture. This chapter is an important orientation for those not familiar with Paracas, and a useful treatment for seasoned Andeanists. Richard Daggett's chapter on the history of Paracas archaeological investigations orients the reader to the historical context of Paracas research. Archaeologists already familiar with Paracas and those beginning in-depth research into Paracas culture will find this chapter indispensable as a resource.
Dwight T. Wallace provides a technical review of painted textiles known as the Carhua textiles. These textiles contain motifs common to the first widespread artistic style in the Andes, the Early Horizon phenomenon known as Chavín. The pervasive use of humanoid figures, winged figures, caimans, and felines among these textiles may offer interesting comparisons of the use of these motifs in other American pre Hispanic art. One drawback of this article is that it assumes that a reader has a thorough understanding of Chavín culture and how it may relate to Paracas cultures.
Chapter 4, by Mary Frame considers woven headbands from the Paracas Necrópolis site and the knowledge encoded on these headbands. Frame concludes that the orderly variation found in fabric structure images and in number and color variation indicates that the people buried at Paracas Necrópolis had a sophisticated classification system of abstract phenomena. Further, this system of classification was used on natural phenomena such as plants, animals, and humans. She does not, however, develop this scheme any further, or provide a test of her hypothesized classification scheme.
Anne Paul provides a discussion of the significance of a particular bundle burial from Paracas Necrópolis. One potentially useful method of investigating class differences as reflected in Paracas burials is provided by Paul in labor estimates for the production of the materials found in a bundle. She finds a degree of individuality in artistic expression of Paracas motifs that may have been used to express the individuality of the person buried with the textiles.
Chapter 6 is a detailed physical and chemical analysis of Paracas textile fibers by Kathryn Jakes. Jakes hopes to develop methods for making inferences about the growth of textiles (her biologic context), the treatment of textiles in their systemic cultural context, and the transformations that textiles undergo once buried (her diagenic context). She employs technologies such as photomicrography, SEM, X-ray, and infrared microspectroscopy. These methods enable Jakes to identify the genus of plants and animals, dyes, use of textiles in the past, and how dehydration degrades these fibers through time. This chapter should be of interest to both researchers working on Paracas materials and those who work with textiles in general. Ann Peters attempts to draw inferences about the Paracas world view of ecology and society from embroidered images on Paracas textiles. Overall, there was an emphasis on the exotic in textile motifs. She also mentions that the juxtaposition of predator prey elements indicates a mutualism between predator and prey, rather than simple domination. Unfortunately, Peters ignores much of the ethnographic work that has been done on Andean iconography and cosmology.
Sarah Massey discusses the implications of settlement pattern and ceramic styles for the politics of Paracas society. She draws inferences based on ceramic uniformity that there was an early coalescence of power in the Ica valley, and that this centralized control diminishes as reflected in a decrease in pottery shapes, decorative techniques, and designs. While Massey may be tracing shifts in social organization through the culture history of the Ica valley, she does so with little or no methodological basis. Her tacit assumption is that pots equal polities, without providing a methodological argument as to why this should be so.
The final chapter of "Paracas Art & Architecture," by Helaine Silverman, considers the archaeological problems of defining Paracas, and what Paracas culture means in relation to other archaeological cultural manifestations on the south Andean coast. She, like Paul in Chapter 1, provides very useful tables that orient the reader in time and place to Paracas culture. Silverman focuses on data from the Paracas site including pottery and textiles. Silverman provides some reconstruction of Paracas society, based primarily on grave goods. Much of Silverman's analysis of cultural relations between societies rests on equations of pottery styles and political units as in Massey's article. Overall, Silverman's article provides a useful summary of Paracas culture for both expert and newcomer.
The primary critique of this volume is of the methods employed to make inferences from archaeological materials. The assumption that polities and political influence can be equated with stylistic elements on pottery is nowhere justified. Likewise, the assumption that differential distribution of grave goods represents differential wealth and class structure in society is not justified, although there is a large body of literature on stylistic and mortuary studies that could inform this research. A final general critique concerns the lack of regard in this volume for what contemporary Andean ideology can offer interpretations of the Paracas past. I am not suggesting that Paracas ideology is encapsulated in modern Andean ideology. However, this does not mean that contemporary Andean ideology might not provide some useful models that could be tested on archaeological data.
This collection of articles will be indispensable for specialists working on Paracas culture. The first and last chapters provide useful overviews of Paracas culture. Mesoamericanists with interests in the Formative and Preclassic may find useful parallels and contrasts in the Paracas materials. Readers unfamiliar with Andean archaeology should first consult standard overviews such as Lanning's Peru before the Incas, or Lumbreras' The Peoples and Cultures of Ancient Peru. The Paracas phenomenon is similar to other material-culture developments around the world while having its own unique expression in the coast of southern Peru, and this volume is a useful contribution to our knowledge of that phenomenon.

I have received an NEH Translations grant for my work on a Nahuatl Holy Week Drama from Tlatelolco, ca 1590, now in the Princeton University Library. I published a preliminary study of the text in the Fall 1991 issue of Latin American Indian Literatures Journal 7:153-71.

I have just published (with H.J. Prem) Toponyme und Ethnonyme im Klassischen Aztekischen. Acta Mesoamericana 4. Berlin: Verlag von Flemming, 1990, (102pp., ISBN 3-924332-06-1, price DM 70) with an extensive English summary. To order this work please contact either of the authors. As far as our other scientific projects related to the Nahua world are concerned, please note that the preliminary studies for a new and extensively annotated edition of Hernando Alvarado Tezozomoc's "Crónica Mexicana" are progressing well, though no date can be given for when the project will be concluded. The edition is based on the oldest manuscript of this important source for central Mexican ethnohistory.

In the summer of 1991, I conducted research in the Archivo General de Indias in Sevilla with the aid of a fellowship from the Center for the Advanced Study of the Americas (a pilot project funded by the NEH). The purpose of the research was to extend my ethnohistorical research on the Pipil into the late seventeenth, eighteenth, and early ninteenth centuries. I am working on a book to be entitled The Pipil Under Spanish Domination.

My article (with Michelle Steward) entitled "Anthropology and Semiosis," in Semiotics 1990 (pp. 392-405), provides an interpretation of why 1 Crocodile was depicted as an animal with horns in Sahagun's book of Merchants. This illustration was featured in NN number 11. I will send a reprint upon request to those who are interested in the answer. I would like to know if there is sufficient interest to compile an edited text of specific analyses of the Florentine Codex. The emphasis would be to minimize bibliography and maximize illustrations. If we had a text in hand, we could approach the Getty Foundation for publication funds to have all illustrations done in color.
