Welcome to Mesoweb, an exploration of Mesoamerican cultures. This site is maintained by
Charles Golden Mesoweb is proud to present the Pre-Columbian Art Research Institute (PARI) and the Boundary End Archaeology Research Center (BEARC). Mesoweb is devoted to the ancient cultures of Mexico and adjacent Central America, including the Olmec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Aztec, and Maya (reserving the word Mayan for the language and the word Maya for the people and their culture). This is, of course a huge area for any one website to cover, and so we have chosen to specialize in the Maya and, more particularly, Maya history, viewing it through the lens of archaeology and the related disciplines and the written records left by the Maya themselves. All text and images on this site are copyright 1996-2012 Mesoweb, Jorge Pérez de Lara, Mark Van Stone, Merle Greene Robertson, Joel Skidmore, and other copyright holders specifically noted in context. Please respect our copyrights and those of our collaborators. No images from Mesoweb may be reproduced or otherwise used without written permission from the copyright holder(s), except for use in homework and educational assignments or classrooms. Some images are available for commercial use or display on another website. There is a fee for such usage. The money goes toward research and publication about Mesoamerican studies. In some cases the fee is waived for scholarly publication or noncommercial websites linked to Mesoweb. Reports of errors (spelling, typography, grammar, or fact) cheerfully solicited. Please note that some errors in the online versions of documents previously published in print were retained intentionally. Some inconsistency, as with the serial comma, is the result of deference to the wide range of authorial styles.
