Pre-Columbian Society/DC Symposium on the Aztecs

[John F. Schwaller]

The Pre-Columbian Society of Washington, DC is now accepting registrations
for its 2008 symposium, Power and Politics in the Late Aztec Period, which
will be held in Washington, DC 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.
