This task involves researching vocabulary related to African and Mesoamerican civilizations, which falls under the Social Science discipline, specifically History (as it deals with historical civilizations). The subfield is History, and the work requires defining terms and finding representative images. For example, "Great Zimbabwe" is a medieval African city - state, "Gold - Salt Trade" was a key trans - Saharan trade, "Swahili" relates to East African cultures and languages, "Codex" was a Mesoamerican manuscript, "Quetzalcoatl" a Mesoamerican deity, "Tenochtitlán" the Aztec capital, and "Machu Picchu" an Incan site.

• Swahili: A language and culture of East African coastal regions, with a mix of African, Arab, and other influences.

• Tenochtitlán: The capital city of the Aztec Empire, built on an island in Lake Texcoco.
