The Dead Tell Tales
Honoring Jane Buikstra's pioneering work in the development of bioarchaeological research, the essays in this volume stem from a symposium held at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Multiple generations of Buikstra's former doctoral students and other colleagues gathered to discuss the impact of her mentorship. The essays are remarkable for their breadth, in terms of both the topics discussed and the geographical range they cover.

The volume documents the degree to which bioarchaeological approaches have become normalized and integrated into anthropological research: bioarchaeology has moved out of the appendix and into the interpretation of archaeological data. New perspectives have emerged, partly in response to theoretical changes within anthropology, but also as a result of the engagement of the broader discipline with bioarchaeology.

Pakal el Grande
En 1952 Alberto Ruz Lhuillier descubrió en Palenque la tumba de K’inich Janaab’ Pakal, el más grande soberano de aquella antigua ciudad maya, además del rico ajuar con el que había sido ataviado: orejeras, anillos, pulseras, complejos collares y adornos, así como una magnífica máscara de mosaico, todo ello tallado en jade verde de distintas tonalidades. El descubrimiento fue tal que para el otoño de 1953 varias piezas ya eran exhibidas en el Museo Nacional de Antropología de la Ciudad de México. A finales de 2001, casi 50 años después, y a propósito de un nuevo proyecto museográfico, Laura Filloy y un equipo multidisciplinario se dieron a la tarea de estudiar y restaurar la...
