Headdresses, as opulent markers of rank and affiliation, offer a unique opportunity to examine sociopolitical roles and offices at Teotihuacan. In particular, in light of the few surviving glyphic texts from the site, the representations of headdresses, either in isolation, as part ritual investitures, or actively worn by individuals, are in fact one of the few ways to achieve a deeper understanding of the nature, structure, and institutional aspects of social stations and in the ancient metropolis. In this paper, we will first discuss the elemental properties of headdresses in Teotihuacan iconography as well as the rites of accession upon which these symbolic markers were acquired. Thereafter, we suggest that several kinds of headdresses are also associated with specific named houses at Teotihuacan, which indicate their close affiliation with certain powerful institutions. Finally, we focus on some of the specific types of headdresses, and especially those qualified by the so-called Year Sign (Figure 1). Based on comparisons with Classic and Epiclassic calendrical records, wherein dates are also crowned by the same headdress, as well as with the diadem of the Late Postclassic Mexica rulers, the xiuhhuitzolli, we put forth a new interpretation of its meaning at Teotihuacan.

头饰作为等级和隶属关系的丰富标志,提供了一个独特的机会来审视特奥蒂瓦坎的社会政治角色和办公室。特别是,鉴于该网站仅存的少数字形文字,头饰的表现形式,无论是孤立的,作为仪式的一部分,还是由个人积极佩戴,实际上是实现更深入理解的少数几种方式之一。社会站和古代大都市的性质、结构和制度方面。在本文中,我们将首先讨论特奥蒂瓦坎肖像中头饰的元素特性以及获得这些象征性标记的即位仪式。此后,我们建议几种头饰也与特奥蒂瓦坎的特定命名房屋有关,这表明他们与某些强大的机构有着密切的联系。最后,我们关注一些特定类型的头饰,尤其是那些符合所谓年标志的头饰(图 1)。根据与古典和史诗历法记录的比较,其中日期也用相同的头饰加冕,以及晚期后古典时期墨西哥统治者的王冠,修胡维佐利,我们在特奥蒂瓦坎对其意义提出了新的解释。
