The Art and Architecture of Ancient America: The Mexican, Maya and Andean Peoples
Pre-Columbian research is well served as regards both books and articles in the Handbook of Latin American Studies (H.L.A.S.). Founded in 1935, the Handbook offers critical remarks by specialists on every item mentioned. For brevity, this selection excerpts relevant works from the decade since 1980, when my writing stopped on the third edition.

Publications since 1980: A Narrative Bibliography
Pre-Columbian research is well served as regards both books and articles in the Handbook of Latin American Studies (H.L.A.S.). Founded in 1935, the Handbook offers critical remarks by specialists on every item mentioned. For brevity, this selection excerpts relevant works from the decade since 1980, when my writing stopped on the third edition. These items are cited by the volume of H.L.A.S. and the number therein; thus XLV:542 refers to item 542 in H.L.A.S., vol. XLV, the article by P. Anawalt which is the first citation in the bibliography that follows these notes and that lists, alphabetically by the name of the author, most of the works referred to in this account.
In 1965 H.L.A.S. was divided into two volumes per biennial, odd numbers containing social sciences, and even numbers given to humanities. The social sciences begin with Anthropology, the humanities with Art. Thus the social scientists maintained a union of social science republics, with a paper curtain separating them all from wandering flocks of art historians, who grazed wherever they pleased in their quest for aesthetic (and anaesthetic) domains of value, from which social scientists mostly exclude themselves.
A rough count of books and articles shows art historians and anthropological archaeologists cooperating in longstanding projects reported in the social science volumes, in the expected ratio between university populations of social scientists and art historians: i.e., in 1982 social scientists outnumbered art historians by a multiple of 23 and in 1984 by a multiple of 12 (publications in H.L.A.S. during the four-year period; these ratios are not yet available for the years since 1987). The count is of summaries for over 2,600 books and articles, here reduced to the most relevant for art-historical use. They are discussed in relation to the chapters of The Art and Architecture of Ancient America, by volume and number in H.L.A.S. vols. XLIII, XLV, and XLVII.
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
It is now widely agreed that the hemisphere was peopled from Asia long before 12,000 B.C. over the now-vanished Beringian land-bridge (B. Hayden, XLIII:347).
A calendar in Aztec use (Codex Borbonicus) has a cycle of 20,176 repeating years (Kubler, XLVII:520). Suggestive of a spatial world model, anciently shared in Mexico and Peru, is a vertical-circle trajectory of the sun evident in Maya sources and Andean as well (Guaman Poma, 1980 ed., p. 984). In both, the annual spiral of the sun’s apparent motion between the tropics is depicted, not the European mapping on magnetic north.
CHAPTER 2. EARLY CENTRAL MEXICO
R. E. Blanton’s idea of Monte Alban in Oaxaca as a ‘disembodied capital’ of the type of Washington (XLV:274) has been contested by R. S. Santley (XLV:348) and Gordon Willey (XLV:369).
E. Taladoire’s study of ball-courts (XLV:360) describes the Mesoamerican with the Caribbean and North American examples. Taladoire does not force a conclusion other than to propose northward diffusion along coastal and interior routes (XLV:359).
R. S. MacNeish (XLV:326) summarizes the results of his long Tehuacan research (discoveries, ideas, and methods), following the lead of the ‘new archaeology’ of L. H. Binford and his colleagues.
D. C. Grove’s excavations at Chalcacingo, the highland frontier of Olmec presence in the state of Morelos, are published in a book stressing local differences from lowland Gulf Olmec works (XLVII:388).
A long-term project at Teotihuacán, directed by René Millon (XLV:482), is based more upon a map of surface distributions than on excavations in depth. It is expanded by J. C. Berlo (XLV:356) with the figural censers found at Escuintla and Lake Amatitlan in the Guatemalan highlands. Hasso von Winning’s definitive iconographic study was finished in 1981 as two typewritten volumes, 522 pages in length, entitled La Iconografía de Teotihuacán: los dioses y los signos (II plates, 213 figures). It has been scheduled for publication by the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma in Mexico City.
Kenneth Hirth’s account of Xochicalco (XLVII:408), like Millon’s of Teotihuacán, is based on a surface-mapping project at this mountain-top ruin in Morelos, west of Cuernavaca, where Maya sculptural values of epiclassic character appear in strength. Hirth’s purpose is to define growth, social organization, and regional domain in the vacuum left by Teotihuacán.
Also of this era are the mountain-top mural paintings of Cacaxtla (XLV:503) in the valley of Puebla, reflecting the pictorial traditions of both Teotihuacán and Classic Maya art before A.D. 800. In other studies the late M. Foncerrada de Molina connected the Cacaxtla murals, seen in relation to those of Teotihuacán (XLV:421), with Gulf Coast and Classic Maya styles.
CHAPTER 3. CENTRAL MEXICO AFTER A.D. 800
Tula (Náhuatl for a place of reeds) is both toponymic and mythological, leading to a confusion that has now subsided. Tula in Hidalgo has its historian in a field archaeologist, Richard Diehl, who places it securely after A.D. 800 in a Toltec context, as a place of encounter between urbanity and northern nomadism (XLVII:374). Closely related to Tula are the serpent-column doorways at Chichén Itza, studied by Kubler (XLVII:310), who related their frequent occurrence in northern Yucatán to expressions of local government within large cities (Mayapán, Tulum).
The Aztec horizon after A.D. 1250 attracted great attention with an international exhibition at the National Gallery in Washington during 1983 (H. B. Nicholson and E. Quiñones Keber, XLVIL:442; this large volume is its catalogue). The major excavations directed by E. Matos Moctezuma at the great temple of Tenochtitlán (XLVII:431) revealed the early stages of construction. The most complete history of Aztec art to date, by Esther Pasztory (XLVII:448), provides a commentary to these events, as well as an explication of their meaning.
CHAPTER 4. THE GULF COAST
The ‘Olmec horizon’ (1300–100 B.C.) is now best understood in accordance with the views of M. D. Coe and R. A. Diehl (XLV:403), who focus on San Lorenzo Tenochititlan and relate the archaeology to a riverine model subsisting among present-day occupants.
According to Fuente and Gutierrez Solana in a repertory of nearly four hundred works in stone (XLIII:334), post-Olmec sculpture of Huastec style after A.D. 1000 may be divided at the year 1200 as before and after Toltec and Aztec domination. The ceramic history is more continuous, as W. T. Sanders noted during excavations in 1957 (XLIII:379).
Costume analysis of the Borgia group of codices permits P. Anawalt (XLV:542) to assign three (Borgia, Cospi, Vaticanus B) to the area of Puebla and Tlaxcala and two (Féjerváry-Mayer, Laud) to the central area of the southern Gulf Coast.
CHAPTER 5. SOUTHERN MEXICO
The landmark study by K. V. Flannery, J. Marcus, and S. Kowaleski (XLV:296) of the Pre-ceramic and Formative periods of the valley of Oaxaca brings most known ‘Archaic’ data together until 500 B.C. The values of this epoch for prehistorians of art are still to be put in focus as preceding the Monte Alban chronology.
The Danzante reliefs are the sculptural expression of Period I and possibly II. John Scott (XLIII:382) arranges them in four stylistic phases with associations to Izapa and Dainzú, and Joyce Marcus, in a study identifying wars of conquest, genealogies, and other historical subjects (XLV:472), relates many of them to the history of Zapotec writing. Forty slabs at Dainzú carved in low relief east of Oaxaca are related by Ignacio Bernal (XLIII:319) to Monte Alban II, at the end of Olmec art. The subjects are thought to be figures of deities, although the content of Zapotec figural art is less theomorphic and more secular than in Olmec iconography.
Richard Blanton’s computer-aided study of the habitation sites on the slopes of Monte Alban (XLV:276) seeks to show that the mountain was thickly covered with dwelling sites all the way to the temple platforms on the summit (see also his Monte Alban: Settlement Patterns at the Ancient Zapotec Capital, New York, 1978).
CHAPTER 6. WESTERN MEXICO
Since 1980 the number of projects and publications on West Mexican archaeology has diminished. Isabel Kelly’s Capacha sequence at Colima (XLV:454), dated c. 1800 B.C., may show a South American relationship of northward direction. Florencia Müller’s typological pottery study of the middle Balsas River region (XLV:486) covers twenty-two sites from 1600 B.C. to A.D. 1500.
The ‘protohistoric’ Tarascan state with its capital at Tzintzuntzan was studied by Helen P. Pollard (XLV:341) in connexion with its ‘non-congruent civic ceremonial and economic settlement lattices’. The study continued (XLV:342) with ‘commoner market exchange and state controlled asymmetrical exchange’, and a third study, with Shirley Gorenstein (XLV:343), estimates the potential production of the Lake Patzcuaro basin before the Spanish Conquest.
CHAPTER 7. THE MAYA TRADITION: ARCHITECTURE
El Mirador, near the northern Petén frontier with Mexico, excavated and mapped by R. T. Matheny (XLIII:361), is among the largest known Mayan sites. Built from c. 150 B.C. to c. A.D. 150, it covers about 10 miles with pyramidal triadic platforms of pre-Classic date. It is like Tikal in terracing and orientation on dominant sunrise-sunset axiality. Later reoccupied, it was abandoned again after 500. (See, in addition to R. T. Matheny, National Geographic Magazine, CLXXII (1987), 317–39, B. H. Dahlin, XLVII:373.)
Dzibilchaltun, a major pre- and Late Classic site in north-east Yucatán, has been excavated by E. W. Andrews IV and V (XLV:375). E. W. Andrews V (XLV:376) also studies chronology and placement among Maya events, and Clemency Coggins (XLVII:370) analyses the decoration and assemblage of structure I-sub, of Classic date.
A factory aspect of Maya stone industries appears in the Colha reports (XLIII:324,325), directed by T. R. Hester, on chert-working from Mamom to post-Classic periods at one of the archaic workshop sites in the region.
The Quiriguá reports edited by Robert Sharer (XLVII:456) total fifteen papers on conservation, settlement pattern, and general context.
Gordon Willey, as director and editor (XLV:418), reports on the Late Formative and terminal Classic ceremonial centre at Seibal, marked by intrusive styles of architecture and sculpture.
The Puuc architectural survey by H. E. D. Pollock (XLIII:371) systematically covers the hill country of Yucatán and northern Campeche from c. A.D. 475 to c. 1000.
Lamanai, excavated in 1983 by D. M. Pendergast (XLIII:370, XLVII:450), is a large site of the pre-Classic to colonial periods. A Tulum-style structure here was used as a church in 1567.
The association at Chichén Itza, Tulum, Mayapán, and Tula of serpent-column doorways with Chacmool figures and platform seats on caryatids is studied by Kubler (XLVII:310). Lack of common orientation and platform seats suggest local seats of government in the largest centres.
CHAPTER 8. THE MAYA TRADITION: SCULPTURE AND PAINTING
Dieter Dütting (XLVII:289) takes the mythological 2Cib 14 Mol date at Palenque as relating to rituals of rebirth or resurrection of the ruler named Pacal. He also relates Gods I, II, and III to Morning Star, Reborn Sun, and Night Sun. Merle Greene Robertson’s book (XLVII:387) celebrates the Temple of Inscriptions at Palenque as the funerary temple of Pacal (A.D. 615–83).
The catalogue of the finds from the sacred well at Chichén Itza begun by the late T. Proskouriakoff and edited by Clemency Coggins (XLVII:364) begins c. A.D. 800 and ends before the Spanish Conquest. It illustrates pieces from Costa Rica and Panamá as well as ‘heirlooms’ of Olmec and Maya jade. The catalogue raisonné by Linda Schele and Mary Miller accompanies the description of the objects displayed with a commentary on the meaning of Maya sculpture and painting as related to rites of sacrifice and rituals of rulership.
CHAPTER 10. THE NEIGHBOURS OF THE MAYA
P. D. Sheets (XLV:352) has studied the effects on Central American archaeological peoples of volcanic eruptions, notably those of Ilopango and Laguna Caldera. A more detailed study (XLVII:572; also XLVII:540) focuses on El Salvador’s prehistory. For a later period, J. W. Michels (XLIII:301) attempts an analysis of Kaminaljuyú archaeology as of c. 300 B.C., using a conical clan model of sub-chiefdoms with differing status.
CHAPTER 11. THE NORTHERN ANDES: COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR
In Colombia, M. Veloz Maggiolo and Carlos Angulo Valdés (XLV:632) date a three-pointed stone carving of the Zemi type (known later on from the Antilles) between 400 and 200 B.C. Also in Colombia, L. Duque Gómez and J. C. Cubillos (XLV:805) date tombs and mounds near San Agustín between A.D. 100 and 600 by radiocarbon, correcting Cubillos’s earlier estimate (XLV:804) of 10 B.C.–A.D. 690.
E. Sánchez Montañés (XLV:832) studies about two thousand Esmeraldas figurines in Ecuador, grouping them in styles each comprising 2–5 types and dating them from before 1500 B.C. until A.D. 500.
CHAPTER 12. THE CENTRAL ANDES: EARLY NORTHERN PERU
The 1982 Dumbarton Oaks conference volume, edited by C. B. Donnan (XLVII:815), surveys the ceremonial architecture of 300 B.C. onwards in several valleys, notably at Cerro Sechín, as prior to the Chavín horizon.
Batán Grande in the Leche Valley was a burial and religious centre from the Chavín to the Inca periods. The excavator, I. Shimada (XLV:887,888), questions the present ‘vertical’ model of cultural development in the Andean region.
CHAPTER 13. THE UPPER NORTH: MOCHICA AND CHIMÚ
Vicús pottery from the upper Piura Valley is analysed by L. G. Lumbreras (XLIII:743). He dates it beween 500 B.C. and A.D. 500, and sees it as transitional between Peruvian coastal desert and Ecuadorian forest.
The Chanchan excavations of 1969–74 were published in 1981 in a conference volume edited by Michael Moseley and Kent C. Day (XLV:849). In 1983 (XLVII:839) Moseley suggested that the collapse of agriculture at the site was caused by changing climatic conditions brought about by geological rises of the coast.
The chronology of the Ayacucho basin, from first peopling to Spanish Conquest, has been surveyed under the direction of R. S. MacNeish (XLV:866a, b). Seventeen periods are proposed, dated by radiocarbon. Volume III discusses lithic remains as having period durations of a century or less.
CHAPTER 15. THE SOUTH COAST VALLEYS
T. Morrison (XLIII:781) reviews knowledge of the Nazca desert lines and figures, amplified by those of Cuzco and the Titicaca basin. He concludes that sacred places (not astronomical or calendrical meanings) are intended.
CHAPTER 16. THE SOUTH HIGHLANDS
Five thousand years of Inca archaeological styles, including Ecuadorian developments, are reviewed by Henri Stierlin (XLVII:611), and colonial chronicles are used in support of the history of Inca building by an architect and a sociologist, Graziano Gasparini and Luise Margolies (XLIII:765, Spanish ed. 1977, reviewed XLII:1639).
