content: This subseries contains materials written by Evon Vogt and Harvard anthropology students participating in the Harvard Chiapas Project between 1959 and 1991. The Harvard Chiapas Project was run by Vogt between 1957 and 1980, and investigated the impact of modern influences on traditional Mayan life in the South Mexican region. The bulk of this series consists of student papers written about all aspects of Mayan society including religious practices, settlement patterns, and Tzotzil worldviews. Also included are several writings by Vogt about the history of the project.
