Fronter migration and the built enviroment in Southewestern Campeche
Frecuentemente, los arqueólogos examinan los estilos arquitectónicos para dilucidad la migración y los patrones de interacción cultural entre grupos mayas en la península de Yucatán. En este artículo, se examinan las bases de esta afirmación mediante la aplicación del marco analítico de Michael Schiffer (2002) para estudiar la distinción tecnológica a nuestros datos etnoarqueológicos procedentes del pueblo de Silvituc en el suroeste de Campeche. …
Landscape Change in the Maya Region, 1450–1910 ad
Landscape transformations are at the heart of archaeological debate over whether native cultural practices in the Maya region survived the Spanish invasion. This article examines landscape change in the Maya region using the theoretical lens of historical ecology. It compares two trajectories of change: the period from 1450 to 1750, marked by the upheavals of conquest, demographic decline, and economic contraction; and the period from 1750 to 191…

Yaxcabá and the Caste War of Yucatán
"The Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901) is widely regarded as the most successful Indian rebellion in the New World. An attempt by the Maya to rid themselves of foreign domination and revitalize their traditional culture, the conflict led to successful agrarian reform and the reassertion of traditional land use by the Maya. It also generated a new religion with its own priesthood and cultural practices focused on the worship of a prophetic "talking…

The World According to Robert
Throughout his career, Robert Santley sought to explain the spread of Teotihuacan-derived material culture to other areas of Mesoamerica and to develop better archaeological methods for recognizing variation in the organization of Mesoamerican macroregional economic systems. In this paper, I review Santley's approaches to understanding the Mesoamerican World and outline unresolved questions in the archaeological use of world-systems theory as app…

Animals and the Maya in Southeast Mexico . E. N. Anderson , Felix Medina Tzuc
Maya Settlement Shifts and Agrarian Ecology in Yucatán, 1800-2000
Scholars attribute the persistence of "traditional" Maya agriculture on the Yucatán peninsula to patterns of dispersal, drift, and flight, which allowed farmers to maintain productivity and to resist the worst exigencies of the colonial and nationalist regimes. In this paper, I explore the material consequences of Maya mobility tactics in Yaxcabá, Yucatán. Using documentary and archaeological evidence, I argue that land reform policies of the nin…

Architecture, Haciendas, and Economic Change in Yaxcabá, Yucatán, Mexico
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Yaxcabá, Yucatán, Mexico, the expansion of Spanish-American-owned cattle estates occurred in response to indigenous population growth and the implementation of the Bourbon political reforms. Although clearly described as haciendas in documentary sources, the estates demonstrate an architectural poverty that casts doubt on their ability to generate profits and their role in the transitio…

The Skipper Effect Debate
The debate over the "skipper effect" encompasses two issues in the maritime anthropological literature: whether a skipper's skill plays a statistically significant role in explaining variation in catch size among boats and whether folk models of the role skippers play in fishing success explain what statistical models cannot. This article reviews the theoretical debates about the skipper effect and contrasts the cultural and economic context of N…

Community Organization in the Parroquia de Yaxcaba, Yucatan, Mexico, 1750–1847
The following paper examines archaeological variability in community organization of sites in the parroquia de Yaxcaba. Yucatan, Mexico, froma.d.1750 to 1847. Using historical and archaeological evidence, the course of political-economic change in Yucatan is followed from the recovery of the Indian population in 1750, through the Bourbon reforms and Independence from Spain, to the Caste War of Yucatan in 1847 in order to assess its implications f…
The Emerging World System and Colonial Yucatan
The conquest and colonization of Mesoamerica by Spain during the period AD 1519-1821 forms part of a macroregional interaction network known as the modern or capitalist world system. Regions incorporated within the world-system usually undergo economic change such that production and labor are increasingly commoditized, dramatically altering the productive strategies of households and communities. As Price (1986) observes, world systems theory is…

Measuring Seining Strategies and Fishing Success in the Philippines
Maritime anthropologists often have argued that different fishing strategies or skipper skills partly account for variability in fishing success within a fleet, but statistical support for such strategies has been difficult to acquire. This article analyzes a mixed species, tropical seine fishery in south central Luzon, Philippines where boat size is similar and electronic fish-finding gear, mechanized hauling, and formal navigational training of…
