[Aztlan] New additions to the FAMSI Journal of the Ancient Americas

[David Hixson]

Estimados Listeros,

We at Aztlan and FAMSI are pleased to announce three
new contributions to the "FAMSI JOURNAL of the ANCIENT
AMERICAS".

http://research.famsi.org/aztlan/aztlan_journal.php

The first is an epigraphic study of two Maya shell
plaques from the Dumbarton Oaks collection, by David
Mora-Marin.

The second is an illustrated set of notes by Justin
Kerr regarding the possible origin of the ancient Maya
"Way" glyph.

The third submission is a paper written by Christopher
Martinez, an archaeology student from the Escuela de
Historia - Universidad de San Carlos, Guatemala,
comparing the architecture of Maya ballcourts to the
mythology of the Popol Vuh (Spanish).

Below is a re-posting of the original call for
submissions to the FAMSI Journal.  We welcome all
students and professionals to contribute papers,
notes, or book reviews from their recent works.

FAMSI JOURNAL OF THE ANCIENT AMERICAS

Estimados Listeros,

The Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican
Studies, inc. (FAMSI) and the Aztlan listserv
moderators are pleased to announce a new online
resource.

FAMSI has agreed to host an online repository for
academic papers, called the “FAMSI JOURNAL of the
ANCIENT AMERICAS” (in many ways an homage as well as
an expansion of "The Aztlan E-Journal" from many years
ago).

The main goal of the new FAMSI JOURNAL is to enhance
the sharing of knowledge between professionals,
researchers, teachers, students, and enthusiasts in
the many disciplines of Pre-Columbian studies.  

The FAMSI JOURNAL is intended as a central repository
for professional presentations, research reports,
academic papers and book reviews on both Pre-Columbian
cultures of the Americas and their modern descendants.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR ACADEMIC PAPERS:

*All submissions must be made by the principal author.

*All submissions must be in either Microsoft Word or
PDF format (the final versions will all be converted
to PDF format).

*Images are welcome, but must be imbedded within the
submitted file, complete with captions.  Authors must
acquire reproduction rights to all images before
submitting.

*All papers must conform to standard measures of
academic accuracy and honesty, including full in-text
citations and a complete bibliography.

*Examples of acceptable topics include (but are not
limited to): archaeology, epigraphy, ethnography,
ethnohistory, and related fields.

*Submissions must focus upon native cultures of the
Americas. 

*We especially encourage the submission of
professional papers originally presented at national,
regional and local meetings (such as the SAA’s, AAA’s,
Maya Meetings, etc.). 

We hope that this service will allow academic papers
that would otherwise be seen only at a conference or
in a classroom to have a wider audience and benefit
everyone in the Aztlan community.

FAMSI JOURNAL BOOK REVIEWS:

The moderators of AZTLAN have also contacted the
leading presses in the United States for books that
may be reviewed by our members.  As these books
arrive, the moderators will seek persons to review the
books for the FAMSI JOURNAL.

Persons whose books have been recently published
should request that their press send a review copy to
John Schwaller who will serve as the Book Review
editor of the FAMSI JOURNAL.

If you have acquired a book outside of the U.S. and
would like to review it, please send a copy of your
review to the moderators for consideration.

an academic paper or book review to our moderators.

Sincerely,

The Aztlan Moderators and FAMSI
