The second part speaks of the reconstruction of musical instruments and the new circumstances that operated as stimuli to the evolutionary process of the instrumental models possessed by the African.

J., Ricardo, "Analisis Horizontal del Sistema de Cargos," America Indigena, XXIX, No. 4 (October, 1969), pp. 923-947. English summary: This paper suggests a horizontal approach to the cargo systems of Mesoamerica by analyzing the rotating one of San Dionisio Yauhquemehcan, Tlaxcala (Mexico), as it functioned before 1950. The basic notions for the analysis are taken from Levi-Strauss' theory on exchange.

English summary: Papyrus, a sweet water reed, was traditionally used in ancient times to build rafts in Egypt and Mesopotamia. A similar reed, totora, was used in America, mainly in the Andean high cultures. Recent research by the author has shown that papyrus attained in the past a peri-mediterranean distribution, and that also, totora attained in America a much wider geographical distribution than had hitherto been maintained, and going from Baja California to Northern Chile. Description is made of the methods and techniques for building reed rafts in Lake Tchad and in Lake Titicaca. R A 1, a 15 meter long papyrus raft, attempted to cross the Atlantic starting in Safi, Morocco in 1969, was built following the Tchadian manner; R A 2, |
