Conceptualization of 'xihuitl': History, Environment and Cultural Dynamics in Postclassic Mexica Cognition (British Archaeological Reports British Series)
Mutsumi Izeki
This study is concerned with how the Postclassic Mexica people developed their unique perspective of history and environment in a dynamic cultural context. By focusing on the process of conceptualization of the Nahuatl word xihuitl, the author analyzes the way the Mexica expressed their cognition. Xihuitl covers a range of meanings: turquoise, grass, solar year, comet, preciousness, blue-green and fire.
