Seems like the right day to post this painting with #WhiteSmoke hanging in the National Museum of Mexican Art in #Chicago by Jesus Helguera (1940)

There's a deep history to the #GulfofMexico with maritime contacts going back 1500 years or more. Lourdes Budar of the U Veracruzana in #Mexico excavated a sophisticated port town La Perla del Golfo with clear ties to Maya populations farther east.

I did this for the northern Tlaxcala (PANT) survey data and published as a line chart rather than table. It's the top left "multi-phase sites" and the big disjunctures come with Teo (makes sense) and in the middle of the Epiclassic (??). Seems like a simple way to highlight major regional change

For all those hosting friends and family for #Thanksgiving here's a model from sixteenth century Mexico: decorative serving wares and embroidered manta with #Turkey in the center. Feliz accion de gracias!

#Democracy: a Greek term but institutions of participatory governance not only from the west. Striking formal similarities between the Athenian Tholos, for rotating Boule chairs, and ancestral Muskogean council houses as deliberative spaces for monitoring and co-participation. Our legacy to protect.

Hi all. Am slowly migrating here from the darker place renamed by a car salesman. Currently in #Mexico where I do #Archaeology and am recording stuff I excavated 15 years ago when we didn't have fun toys like lidar and photogrammetry on iPads. Be well.
