“…Pérez Rodríguez (2013) reported that an effective and recent approach has been to create museum exhibits or tourist amenities centers. A significant subset of negotiated outcomes in Oaxaca has involved helping to set up community museums, or museos comunitarios (Hoobler 2006; Morales et al 2009; Morales Lersch and Camarena Ocampo 2002; Salas Landa 2008; Sepúlveda Schwember 2011; Zborover 2014).…”

“…Archaeologists working in Oaxaca have found that they must negotiate and address community needs in order to implement their projects. In a recent review of Mixtec archaeology, Pérez Rodríguez (2013) ended with a discussion of cultural resource management, community archaeology, and the associated politics in the Mixtec area of Oaxaca. She mentioned the impact that suspicion of archaeologists, internal community dynamics, and intercommunity conflicts have on projects.…”

“…Archaeologists working in Oaxaca have tried a variety of approaches, some more effective than others. Pérez Rodríguez (2013) noted that, historically, sharing of research results began with written reports being presented to local communities, but they often ended up being filed away in some office. A more effective approach was to create posters of project results and display them on a wall of the municipal palace.…”

This article explores the relationships between archaeological research, preconquest and colonialperiod documents, and legal and ethical considerations in Oaxaca, Mexico, with a particular focus on the emic approach of the Teozacoalco Archaeological Project, which uses a sixteenth-century map to contextualize archaeological remains. It begins with ABSTRACT Documents from Oaxaca, Mexico, in archives and museums in Mexico, the United States, and former European colonial powers are stimulating archaeological projects and other research in the areas where they originated. The Teozacoalco Archaeological Project was inspired by colonial-period documents housed in the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Library at the University of Texas at Austin. Chiyo Cahnu, a Mixtec kingdom better known as Teozacoalco, was the scene of Aztec and Spanish colonial incursions. The archiving in Texas of the famous Mapa de Teozacoalco and associated documents pertaining to the kingdom/municipality, as well as other documents related to Teozacoalco, neighboring Mixtec kingdoms, and other indigenous Oaxacan communities housed in libraries, archives, and museums distant from those communities, invites us to consider some important issues: how and why they left their original homes and arrived in their present locations and legal and ethical ramifications of housing them outside of their homeland. Included in the latter topic are questions about decolonizing documents, whether documents should be repatriated, and best practices for archaeologists whose projects are inspired by them. Documentos históricos procedentes de Oaxaca, México que ahora residen en los archivos y museos de México, los Estados Unidos y varias antiguas potencias coloniales europeas han inspirado proyectos arqueológicos y otras investigaciones en sus regiones de origen. El Proyecto Arqueológico de Teozacoalco se inspiró en documentos de la época colonial que actualmente residen en la Colección Latinoamericana Nettie Lee Benson de la Universidad de Texas en Austin. Teozacoalco, un antiguo reino mixteco originalmente conocido como Chiyo Cahnu, fue sitio de incursiones coloniales aztecas y españolas. El famoso Mapa de Teozacoalco y los documentos asociados con el reino y municipio de Teozacoalco -así como otros documentos relacionados con los reinos mixtecos y otras comunidades indígenas oaxaqueñas que actualmente residen en bibliotecas, archivos y museos lejos de sus comunidades de origen-nos invitan a considerar algunos temas importantes. ¿Cómo y por qué dejaron sus lugares de origen y llegaron a sus ubicaciones actuales? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones legales y éticas de albergarlos fuera de su patria? En esta discusión se considera la descolonización de los documentos históricos, la pregunta de si estos deberían ser repatriados y las mejores prácticas para los arqueólogos cuyos proyectos se inspiran en ellos.overviews of the types and nature of documents, where they are archived, and how they are used in exhibits, publications, and archaeological research, in order to expos...
