AZTLAN list

[John F. Schwaller]

I would like to invite you all to join the listserv
"Aztlan" as it joins its new host at FAMSI --
The Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican
Studies, Inc.

Aztlan has been around for well over a decade, and has
recently been moved to a new home at FAMSI.  It is
one of the oldest and most respected listservs for
Mesoamerican Prehistory.

Recent conversations on Aztlan cover such topics as:
-The Maya Collapse (discussing the new book by Jared
Diamond)
-Associated Press reports on Mesoamerican Archaeology
-The origins of Maya writing (discussing the new
discovery of murals at the site of San Bartolo)
-Apocalypto (the upcoming movie by Mel Gibson about
the ancient Maya - shot completely in a Maya
language)
-Haley's Comet and it's influence on the Ancient Maya
-The Ancient Maya Calendar (specifically, various
arguments about which correlation merges it with
our modern western calendar)

While much of the discussion on Aztlan
focuses on the Maya region, other discussions
have included Nahua related topics, as well as
more wide-ranging topics on North and South American
pre-history.

Aztlan typically has an activity level of approximately
3-10 emails per day.  This may be too many emails for
the casual reader.  In this case, I still suggest
subscribing, but click the bubble for "daily digest"
which will deliver all Aztlan messages in a single
daily email (you will therefore only receive one
email per day, containing all of the day's messages).
