Extractions: Ethnology One of the four subdivisions of anthropology, the others being physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Ethnology is concerned with the study of cultures in their traditional forms and in their adaptations to changing conditions in the modern world. Ethnography, the observational branch of ethnology, describes each culture, including its language, the physical characteristics of its people, its material products, and its social customs. In describing a particular tribe, for example, eth nographers gather information about its location and geographical environment. They also investigate all aspects of its culture, including food, shelter, dress, transportation, and manufacture of the tribe; its customs regarding government, property, and division of labor; its patterns of production and exchange; its customs regarding birth, adulthood initiation rites, marriage, and death; its religious ideas relating to magic, supernatural beings, and the universe; as well as its artistic, mythological, and ceremonial interpretations of its natural and social environment. Ethnologists are concerned with all aspects of culture in the contemporary world and attempt to present a perspective from which to understand modern society. They stress the observation and collection of actual data. In comparing the social organization of variant societies, ethnologists emphasize the interrelationship between the individual and the family, clan, tribe, and other groups (for example, social, political, religious) that may exist within a society. In making comparisons, ethnologists must differentiate between responses peculiar to the society and those that are general to humankind. This differentiation clarifies the role of learned behavior in the development of distinctive cultures. Some studies analyze relationships between social phenomena and ecological adaptations.

Revue De L'ACEF
EnglishFrench bilingual journal disseminating knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere.
http://www.fl.ulaval.ca/celat/acef/revue.htm

Extractions: The Folklore Studies Association of Canada has published the journal Canadian Folklore Canadien since 1979. This bilingual journal is intended to disseminate knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere, through the publication of articles, book reviews, notes, and other information pertaining to research and academic inquiry in all branches of folklore. At the 1998 annual general meeting, the membership of the Folklore Studies Association of Canada voted to change the name of its journal from Canadian Folklore canadien to Ethnologies. The membership felt strongly that the new name reflected the journal's concern for materials beyond the most traditional scope of "folklore" and our interest in a broader range of cultural artifacts and expressive forms. The membership's commitment to recognising the very negative implications of the term "folklore" among Francophone colleagues, because of its exclusively Anglo origin and overdetermined associations with the archaic and colonial. The new name, Ethnologies, is a more accurate indication of the journal's contents and perspectives.

MONTE ALBAN
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/monte/monte1.html

Extractions: WELCOME TO MONTE ALBAN Monte Alban is located in the present state of Oaxaca, Mexico, just outside of Oaxaca City. Monte Alban emerged as the center of political authority in the Valley of Oaxaca around 400 B.C., because it commanded the best terrain in the valley for agriculture and dense settlement. The city developed as a ceremonial center over several hundred years, from 500 BC to 700 AD. The Zapotecs ruled Monte Alban throughout this time, but there was significant cultural contact with Teotihucan in the center of Mexico. The collapse of Monte Alban is suggested to be linked with the collapse of Teotihucan, perhaps due to loss of an important trading partner. Though Monte Alban collapsed, the Zapotec culture remains just as distinctive today. Religious worship at Monte Alban was based on ancestor worship and a pantheon of gods. The pottery figure seen here is Xipe Totec from one of the tombs at Monte Alban. Xipe is the flayed god associated with human sacrifice. This god is present among many of the Mesoamerican cultures, including Teotihucan and the Aztecs. After the abandonment of Monte Alban by the Zapotecs, the Mixtecs moved into the Valley, resulting in conlifts between the two cultures which lasted until Spanish Conquest. The Mixtecs utilized Monte Alban tombs for their dead, though they did not occupy the site. The gold pendant shown here is from a Monte Alban tomb dating to the beginning of the 1400s. The pendent represents Mictllanteuhtli, the 'Lord of Death', recognizable by his fleshless jaws.

Palenque
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www2.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/palenque/palenque.html

Extractions: PALENQUE Palenque is a Maya ceremonial center built in the modern state of Chiapas, Mexico. It is part of the frontier region of the Classic Maya renowned for its architecture and rich history of rulers. Palenque's history began on March 11, A.D. 431, according to the heiroglyphic texts. The main construction phase began in the 7th century and lasted until about 810 AD. No one knows why the Maya civilization collapsed, but clearly there was a progressive abandonment, and Palenque was one of the first major centers to be given back to the jungle. The physical isolation of Palenque emphasizes the magnificence of its buildings, and the delicacy of the stucco ornamentation. In this way Palenque was unique among the Mayan cities. Two rulers at Palenque, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum, were responsible for the majority of construction. Their ancestry and accomplishments are immortalized in the temples and palaces, as well in the glyphs and stucco tablets adorning the temples. Maya history is recorded in glyph writing, such as seen in the background of these pages, and in the visual artwork of the tablets, such as the image on the right. The Palenque rulers were priest-kings and military rulers that claimed divine descent. Palenque had twelve such rulers, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum being the most remarkable. Pacal, whose name translates to "Shield", is seen on the tablet to the left receiving the divine crownship from his mother, Lady Zac Kuk, who served for short time as ruler. Pacal claimed the throne through his mother by proclaiming she was the mother deity of the three major gods of Maya religion. He did this to override the tradition that descent to the throne can only be achieved through the male line. In the tablet we see Lady Zac Kuk passing the crown to Pacal who is seated on the Double-headed Jaguar Throne. The glyphs in the tablet have the names of the participants, and the explanation of Pacal's accession to the throne. Toward the end of his reign Pacal constructed the Temple of Inscriptions, a masterpiece of Maya architecture, under which his tomb lies. Pacal reigned for 67 years, and was succeeded by his son, Chan-Bahlum ("Snake Jaguar").
