Surface Archaeology in the Chilapa-Zitlala Area of Guerrero, México, Season I

Acknowledgments

First of all to the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas of the National University of México and the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc., (FAMSI); their financial support made this project possible. I appreciate the efforts of Mari Carmen Serra, from the first, and Sandra Noble, from the latter, who spent a lot of time answering my doubts. To the Consejo Nacional de Arqueología, especially Ing. Joaquín García-Bárcena, its President. David Grove, Jaime Litvak, and Linda Manzanilla played various important roles in landing the project. I appreciate the help of many people in Chilapa, especially Alicia Gutiérrez, María de Jesús Gutiérrez, and Victor Manuel Walle who helped us find a house and get settled. Maclovio Ariza, Mayor of Chilapa, and Genaro Tiburcio, his Secretary, helped out in many practical matters. Dr. Augurio Hernández not only took care of our minor ailments, but as a serious amateur he was most generous in sharing his knowledge of the region. The help of Gabriel Lima, from Acatlán, our guide and interpreter, has been invaluable. Thanks to colleagues who visited us in the field with good suggestions: Raúl Arana, Carmen Chacón, David Grove, Olaf Jaime, Rosa Reyna, Samuel Villela, and Fernando Orozco. To persons in various communities who have been helpful: Domingo Fiscaleño and Bonifacio Ramírez from Atzacoaloya, Simón Ahuixtle from Miraflor, Domingo Morales from Teomatatlán, Luis Chávez from Lamazintla, Guillermo Andraca from Chilapa, Alberto Seis from Acatlán, and Oscar Jerónimo and Alejandra Hilario from Zitlala.
