The Latin American Network Information Center, University of Texas at Austin, is probably the most useful directory of scholarly sites from and about Latin America on the open web. Sections of the site relevant to this course include:
Or search LANIC directory for a term (e.g., Teotihuacan).
The internet indexed by Google, Bing, and other search engines provides access to a range of sites of legitimate interest to students and scholars of ancient Mesoamerica. Unfortunately, the same search engines surface many more sites that are inappropriate to cite in college research papers. To help students separate the wheat from the chaff, I have listed in this box selected Mesoamerican studies websites. Use them with confidence while maintaining your own critical eye.
This box lists websites that address the interests and needs of the academic community, specifically the disciplines of archaeology, art history, epigraphy, and/or history; are with one or two exceptions largely free of commercial sponsorship and distracting or irrelevant graphics and advertisements; are sponsored by individuals or educational or non-profit organizations with demonstrated expertise and commitment to the study of ancient Mesoamerica; and/or provide unique content not easily found or executed as thoroughly on other websites.
I will accept primary or secondary sources obtained from the websites listed here if they fall legitimately into the primary/secondary categories (e.g., a primary source image from FAMSI's Justin Kerr Vase database; a secondary Mesoweb publication; a PARI monograph).
