"Appropriately, most of the contributions to this festschrift in honor of one of Mexico's foremost ethnographers are biographical or focus on ethnographic topics. A few, however, deal with archaeological and ethnohistorical subjects: excavations at Ocozocuautla, Chiapas; precolumbian Maya sacbes and hydraulic works; precolumbian Maya scribes; Yucatán at the time of the Spanish invasion; Mesoamerican and Asian calendars; and astronomical alignments at Monte Albán"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
