Tzompantli

A tzompantli or skull rack is a type of wooden rack or palisade documented in several Mesoamerican civilizations, which was used for the public display of human skulls, typically those of war captives or other sacrificial victims. It is a scaffold-like construction of poles on which heads and skulls were placed after holes had been made in them.〔Palka (2000) pg 152〕 Many have been documented throughout Mesoamerica, and range from the Epiclassic (ca. 600–900 CE) through early Post-Classic (ca. 900–1250 CE).〔Mendoza (2007) pg 397〕
==Etymology==
The name comes from the Classical Nahuatl language of the Aztecs, however it is also commonly applied to similar structures depicted in other civilizations. Its precise etymology is uncertain, although its general interpretation is "skull rack", "wall of skulls", or "skull banner".〔Mendoza (2007) pg 397〕 It may be seen to be a compound of the Nahuatl words ''tzontecomatl'' ("skull"; from ''tzontli'' or ''tzom-'' "hair", "scalp" and ''tecomatl'' ("gourd" or "container"), and ''pamitl'' ("banner"). This derivation has been ascribed to explain the depictions in several codices which associate these with banners; however, Nahuatl linguist Frances Karttunen has proposed that ''pantli'' means merely "row" or "wall".
