In Memoriam
Mesoamericanists, historical archaeologists, and researchers concerned with craft specialization, rural-urban settlement pattern analysis, and the rise and fall of city states have recently and unexpectedly lost a dedicated colleague, enthusiastic fieldworker, and friend. Mexican archaeology has especially been deprived of one of its stellar fieldworkers, distinguished researchers, and mentor with the passing of Thomas H. Charlton, whom we all kn…
Formation Processes and Indian Archaeology . K. Paddayya
Evolution of Specialized Pottery Production
Craft specialization, a concomitant of evolving social complexity, is regarded as a process of regulating variety in extractive or productive activities. A trial model for the evolution of specialization in pottery production is presented, together with test implications for the archaeological recognition of specialized production. Emphasis is on standardization vs. variability or diversity in decorative, technological, and formal pottery attribu…
Demographic Estimates in Archaeology
Anthropological archaeologists often employ ethnohistoric and ethnographic data to interpret the archaeological record. Of special concern to the subdiscipline of "action" or "living" archaeology is the problem of devising reasonably accurate methods for estimating the population of a site or of a prehistoric household. Techniques developed by various researchers are here summarized and critiqued. Then the available ethnographic evidence on house…
On the Argument From Ceramics to History
The assumption that major changes in pottery closely reflect change in other areas of culture has been widely accepted by prehistorians, but it has seldom been tested against independent historical or ethnographic evidence. It is here suggested, on the basis of dated pottery types and of independently dated historical developments, that there is not necessarily a close connection between the two. The evidence for this conclusion is derived from h…

Domestic Ceramic Production and Spatial Organization
The Metaphor of the Day in Ancient Mexican Myth and Ritual [and Comments and Reply]
The myths of the pre-Columbian Mesoamericans follow a pattern that is well known to historians of religion. At the time of creation, all created beings, whether people or gods, lived together with the Supreme Couple in a paradise in which death was unknown. As a result of a sin-usually the first sexual relations-the creatures were exiled to earth and darkness, and death made its appearance. The sacrifice of a hero became necessary-one who, like t…
