Pre-Columbian Society/DC Symposium--September 13, 2008

The Pre-Columbian Society of Washington, DC continues to accept registrations 
for its 2008 symposium, Power and Politics in the Late Aztec Period, which 
will be held in downtown Washington on Saturday, September 13, 2008.   
Archaeologists and art historians who specialize in Aztec studies will explore the 
period during which the Aztecs became the dominant population of Mesoamerica.   
Recent research, including investigations into the role played by small 
city-state capitals outside the Valley of Mexico, will permit new insights into the 
development of the Aztec state.   While examining the many kinds of power 
wielded by the Aztecs prior to the arrival of the Spanish, this symposium will take 
a close look at the complexity of Aztec society.

Michael Smith of Arizona State University will be the symposium moderator.   
Also giving presentations will be Frances Berdan, California State 
University/San Bernardino; Lori Diel, Texas Christian University; John Pohl, The Fowler 
Museum, UCLA; Richard Townsend, The Art Institute of Chicago, and Emily 
Umberger, Arizona State University.

Details about the symposium program and a link to the symposium brochure are 
available at the Pre-Columbian Society/DC's website: www.pcswdc.org
