Resumen:

In 1956 H. B. Nicholson presented his paper "The Mixteca-Puebla Concept in Mesoamerican Archaeology: A Re-examination" to a rapt audience at the Fifth International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was the first public dissemination of a theme that would interest him throughout his entire professional career (Nicholson 1960, 1961, 1977, 1982). Nicholson's fascination with the Mixteca-Puebla tradition reached its apogee with the publication of the landmark volume Mixteca-Puebla: Discoveries and Research in Mesoamerican Art and Archaeology (Nicholson and Quiñones Keber 1994). H. B. Nicholson precisely determined the scope of the Mixteca-Puebla Concept by limiting it to the analysis of a stylistic and iconographic tradition. He established the basic characterization of the style, identified its principal iconographic traits, and offered hypotheses on the critical issue of where and when this tradition first appeared. As we shall see, all of these issues warrant continued study. © 2012 by University Press of Colorado, All rights reserved.
