We provide a period interpretation for multizeta values (in the function eld context) in terms of explicit iterated extensions of tensor pow- ers of Carlitz motives (mixed Carlitz-Tate t-motives). We give examples of combinatorially involved relations that these multizeta values satisfy. The multizeta values introduced and studied originally by Euler have been pur- sued again recently with renewed interest because of their emergence in studies in mathematics and mathematical physics connecting diverse viewpoints. They occur naturally as coecients of the Drinfeld associator, and thus have connections to quantum groups, knot invariants and mathematical physics. They also occur in the Grothendieck-Ihara program to study the absolute Galois group through the funda- mental group of the projective line minus three points and related studies of iterated extensions of Tate motives, Feynman path integral renormalizations, etc. We re- fer the reader to papers on this subject by Broadhurst, Cartier, Deligne, Drinfeld, Ecalle, Furusho, Goncharov, Homan,
