2. Cultural continuity plays a central role in the research on Mexican codices that Mixtec researcher and activist Gabina Aurora Pérez Jiménez and I have been doing together. In line with these ideas an interdisciplinary and intercultural group of PhD candidates at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, is presently studying the symbolic universe of Mesoamerica, with the support of an advanced grant from the European Research Council. This review has benefitted from comments by several members of that team: Omar Aguilar Sánchez, Ilona Heijnen, Ivette Jiménez Osorio, Raúl Macuil Martínez, Manuel May Castillo, Laura Osorio, Emmanuel Posselt Santoyo, Juan Carlos Reyes Gómez, Ángel Iván Rivera Guzmán, Ludo Snijders, and Paul van den Akker.
