In recent decades an expanding cadre of archaeologists has embarked to the field and laboratories. Their endeavors have sparked the collection of troves of data about worldwide pasts at multiple scales from the molecular to the macroregional. Investigation has been amplified by new technologies including computers, satellite imagery, mass spectrometry, and sequencers for ancient DNA. As information-rich findings are rapidly being deciphered, it is clear that the temporal depth and global breadth of archaeological discoveries are sufficiently rich to inform us regarding key contemporary issues--sustainability, inequality, governance, well-being, and heritage. Ernest Hooten once described archaeologists as "the senile playboys of science rooting in the rubbish heaps of antiquity." Although Hootens view of archaeology as an esoteric discipline remains intact in some quarters, clearly times have changed--and in this volume a diverse suite of archaeologists marshal their thoughts regarding the current state and future of the discipline.

Sin duda, la tradicion del milagro guadalupano tiene un inconmensurable poder simbolico.

GLYPHARMACOLOGY Ritual Technology of Ancient Plants What if the forgotten potions of the temple were never mere medicines but mnemonic keys to a symbolic system lost in time? This ground breaking volume uncovers the ritual pharmacology of the ancient world, where psychoactive plants, sacred elixirs, and alchemical brews formed the backbone of descent-and-return ceremonies. From the temple distilleries of Dendera to the sealed chambers of the Duat, this book reveals how entheogenic substances were not taken to escape realitybut to realign it. Blending archaeological insight, symbolic recursion, and clinical foresight, Glypharmacology is both a field guide and a memory architecture. It traces the layers of the Seal, the role of distillation, the encoded recipes of the Ebers Papyrus, and the eerie resonance between ancient rites and modern psychedelics. Along the way, youll meet gods who brewed, spirits who fermented, and initiates who rememberedthrough ritual, not belief. For seekers, scholars, clinicians, and psycho-nauts alikethis is not a history of drugs. It is the return of a forgotten ritual technology.

En ese extenso periodo se transformo la condicion de los edificios construidos por jesuitas e indigenas.

Son muchos los actores que intervienen hoy en esa puja: Estados nacionales, organismos internacionales o la Iglesia catolica, pero tambien sujetos cuyas voces son menos sonoras, entre ellos habitantes de los pueblos donde esta ubicado el patrimonio, campesinos de la region y comunidades indigenas de guaranies. El lector encontrara ruinas vivas, cargadas de un alto valor social. Las voces que se articulan en torno a ellas permiten acceder a distintos imaginarios sobre el pasado y el presente de las antiguas misiones de guaranies.

Cornwalls storytelling tradition stretches back a thousand years. Before TV and radio, stories were told among the flickering shadows at the fireside. They whiled away the travellers miles, long hours in the fields, and days at sea. They gladdened brief moments of relaxation for miners and bal-maidens. Travelling storytellers wandered from village to village swapping words for supper, and a rich local dialect brought the tales to life. Classic Cornish tales such as the Mermaid of Zennor and Jan Tregeagle are wonderfully entertaining, and collectively tell us much about Cornwall, its people, and its history.Join accomplished storyteller, scholar and writer Mike OConnor as he explores the when, where, and why of Cornish folk tales and celebrates the rich traditions and cultural legacy of hwedhlow.

El devenir de los "libros pintados" puede adquirir una atmósfera de sorpresa e incertidumbre. Así, varios de los códices producidos en territorio guerrerense han pasado por situaciones peculiares. Desde el primer documento conocido que, gracias a Humboldt, se albergo en la Biblioteca Real de Berlin, hasta uno que fue cambiado de repositorio, en Alemania, para evitar su posible destruccion durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un codice que es modificado para servir a intereses de un cacicazgo colonial; otro, vinculado a la supuesta existencia del "tesoro" de Moctezuma; otro mas que fue rescatado desde una subasta en los Estados Unidos, asi como el caracter ritual y sagrado, actual, de un par de ellos, conforman un panorama de asombro ante su existencia, descubrimiento e investigacion.
