I am planning to attend the AHAs next January and would really love to join a panel. Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I work with colonial Nahuatl religious texts. I recently finished a critical English translation of Sahagún's collection of Nahuatl sermons while on an NEH fellowship and would like to present a paper – but I have no panel as of yet. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is looking for another presenter!
INAH announced that the Moyotlan figure of Xipe Totec will go on display at the Templo Mayor.

Reuters has published an article on recent excavations at the Templo Mayor, digging deeper into the cache previously reported containing sea creatures an a jaguar. Leonardo López Luján, Director of the Templo Mayor project, has proposed that they might have found the burial of Ahuitzotl.
