NB for all: Since 2017 I have not particularly keen to upload anything here but still it is good publicity. I have not had the time to look for a more open and non-profit alternative (although ReserchGate seems quite nice and I use it). Check my Google Scholar (with the sci-hub extension ;)). Stay tuned!

Thesis/Dissertations by Israel Hinojosa Baliño
This investigation has studied the extent to which human agency and geomorphology are intertwined and shape urban patterns in the Nile Delta; against the long-lived idea that the Nile River has almost exclusively made Egypt and that the river fluctuations have shaped the Egyptian urban landscape. For some authors like Fernand Braudel, the Nile River has defined the Egyptian world to the point of accepting that Egypt was considered a gift from the Nile, whereas, by contrast, Mesopotamia was made by human hands. In this thesis, however, it is argued that humans and their politics have played a more important role in defining the Nilotic landscape. Hence, this research explored to what extent river shifts and human agency have impacted urban patterns and settlement locations from the Old Kingdom to the modern era with the construction of the High Aswan Dam.
Regardless of river fluctuations, settlements persisted, and disastrous events obliterating cities are exceptional events. Urban fluctuations, bliss or misery, heydays or collapse, are certainly political and social happenings intermingled with the omnipresent river Nile.

This paper is about La Montaña and the altepetl of Tlapa Tlachinollan; the former, one of the regions that constitutes the Mexican state of Guerrero, the later, a complex polity that became powerful during the Post-Classic Period (AD 1300-1500). A series of spatial and non-spatial analyses were made in order to depict and try to understand the political unit called altepetl; which literally means "the waters, the mountains" and is considered the main political unit (polity) in central and southern Mexico. Due to its relation with geography, it is propose that we can recreate how the altepetl used to work during these years based mainly in: 1) a series of viewsheds to identify if the visual affordances of this mountainous region affected the character of the polities. 2) building a network to explore the connectivity of each site. This way we can know to what degree did major routes of communication affect the character of the polities and 3) during these years small polities fought each other in order to control all over the waters and the mountains, so we explore a new method to define regions using cost surfaces and real archaeological areas to simulate a territory

Descripción del artículo:
La importancia de la Isla Bermeja[1] radica en su posición respecto de los límites marítimos territoriales que corresponderían a México según los tratados internacionales definidos para el Golfo de México y para la explotación de hidrocarburos en aguas profundas (Tratado sobre Límites Marítimos entre los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y los Estados Unidos de América, 1978; Tratado entre el gobierno de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y el gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América sobre la delimitacion de la plataforma continental en la region occidental del Golfo de Mexico más allá de las 200 millas náuticas, 2001; Agreement between the United States of America and the United Mexican States Concerning Transboundary Hydrocarbon Reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico, 2012; Conchello, 1998). De encontrarse indicios de dicha isla, los límites territoriales de México dentro del Golfo de México crecerían alrededor de 200 millas náuticas a partir de la isla. Al aumentar los límites territoriales mexicanos en el Golfo de México, se potenciaría el beneficio de la exploración y la explotación de aguas profundas en el marco de la denominada Reforma Energética.
En este artículo se hace una reseña histórica de una avenida de la Ciudad de México, la Calzada de Tlalpan, desde sus orígenes prehispánicos hasta la actualidad, tratando de mostrar que la forma de movilidad en la misma cambió radicalmente con la introducción del automóvil, que se convirtió en símbolo de riqueza y bienestar después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Se introduce el término anti peatonalidad para cuestionar y criticar históricamente el modelo de movilidad de la ciudad usando como base la calzada.
ABSTRACT
In this article is presented a brief historical review of an avenue in Mexico City called Calzada de Tlalpan; from its pre hispanic origins to our days. It is shown that the way of mobility along the avenue changed radically after the introduction of the automobile; which became a symbol of wealth and wellness after the II World War. It is also introduced the term anti-walkability, to historically question and criticize the model of mobility of the City using the Calzada as background.
drones— are becoming the must-have tool in archaeological survey. Here, I present the case study of Cerro de la Máscara to test the combined potential of the UAV platform, Structure from
Motion photogrammetry, and GIS post-processing.

Este es el abstract del libro: Invitamos al lector a embarcarse en un viaje para que se adentre en un mar de símbolos rituales, en el cual encallaremos juntos de vez en vez en chinampas que funcionarán como islas de significación histórica, arqueológica o etnográfica; nos adentraremos en una crónica explicativa acerca de que fue, es y seguirá siendo el ritual del “tularco”.

Le indagini nell’area del delta costituiscono una realtà recente rispetto alla tradizione dei grandi scavi in siti di età faraonica della valle del Nilo. Questa nuova frontiera dell’archeologia egiziana sta riportando alle cronache un territorio pressoché inesplorato, ma che a suo tempo rivestì un ruolo fondamentale nell’economia del Paese. Nel Delta occidentale del Nilo, regione di Beheira, cinquanta chilometri da Alessandria d’Egitto e sette dall’attuale ramo di Rosetta, si trovano i siti di Kom al-Ahmer e Kom Wasit. Si tratta di un settore del Delta poco noto sotto il profilo archeologico: solo dopo la bonifica tramite lo scavo di canali e la costruzione della diga di Aswan (1971) fu finalmente possibile risanare la zona e condurre prospezioni.
