Disentangling Community and Domestic Uses of Space in Teotihuacan’s Tlajinga District
Neighborhood centers at Teotihuacan provide important information about the city’s urban organization and systems of governance beyond central administrative complexes. They served multiple social functions, with evidence from some spaces consistent with ritual activities and others with residences for district elites. Yet precise uses can be difficult to discern because architecture and associated materials often present evidence of both, along …
Mesoamerican urbanism
Mesoamerica was the most urbanised landscape of the precolonial Western Hemisphere, and urban dwellers there shared many cultural commonalities. They also varied significantly regarding what social institutions they emphasised, what forms of urban infrastructure they created, their fiscal financing and systems of governance, as well as how they managed ecological resources and risk. In this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of Mesoamerican…
Explaining the rise of moralizing religions
The causes, consequences, and timing of the rise of moralizing religions in world history have been the focus of intense debate. Progress has been limited by the availability of quantitative data to test competing theories, by divergent ideas regarding both predictor and outcomes variables, and by differences of opinion over methodology. To address all these problems, we utilize Seshat: Global History Databank, a large storehouse of information d…
Big Gods and big science
Our target article empirically tested the Big Gods Hypothesis which proposes that beliefs in moralizing supernatural punishment (MSP) contributed to the evolution of socio-political complexity (SPC) in world history. We tested this hypothesis using a suite of measures of MSP, SPC, and other potential evolutionary drivers coded in Seshat: Global History Databank. Our analyses indicate that intensity of warfare and productivity of agriculture were …
Characterisation of obsidian subsource variability at El Paredón, Mexico
Portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) geochemical analysis on obsidian from five Formative period (1200 BCE to AC 100) sites from Tlaxcala, Mexico, has revealed that most of the material had similar values to those found in the closest obsidian source, named El Paredón, Puebla. Nevertheless, initial analyses did not resolve whether these materials came from the same caldera or from a specific obsidian deposit. Here we present a methodology that allo…
Sacred Landscape and Cultural Astronomy on the Marcahuasi Plateau, Peru
The dramatic landscapes of the highland Andes were and continue to be sacralised in the worldviews and ritual practices of Andean peoples. Some landscapes are rendered sacred by virtue of stone, in the form of towering mountain peaks or particular rock outcroppings, whether in their natural states or modified by humans; others provide settings for charting calendrical and mythical time through the passage of celestial bodies; and some sit at the …
Governance Strategies in Precolonial Central Mexico
Among the Indigenous polities of precolonial Mesoamerica, the Aztec empire, headed by a confederation of three city-states, was the largest recorded and remains the best understood, due to its chronicling in Spanish and Nahuatl texts following the Spanish-Aztec war and colonial transformation to New Spain. Yet its political organization is routinely mischaracterized in popular media, and lesser-known contemporaries and predecessors in central Mex…
Excavations at the Southern Neighborhood Center of the Tlajinga District, Teotihuacan, Mexico
Investigations of the Proyecto Arqueológico Tlajinga Teotihuacan (PATT) in 2019 focused on the southern neighborhood center of this cluster of non-elite residences in the southern periphery of the ancient Mexican metropolis. Our objective was to better understand the social infrastructure of public space within the district and how it tied its inhabitants together. Our methods included excavations at two large architectural complexes, geophysical…
New Perspectives on Migration into the Tlajinga District of Teotihuacan
The city of Teotihuacan (AD 1-550) was a major multiethnic urban center that attracted migrants from as far away as west Mexico and the Maya region. Past research in the Tlajinga district at Teotihuacan using oxygen isotopes from human remains estimated that nearly 30% of the population of Tlajinga 33, a single apartment compound, were migrants. This study takes a dual-isotope approach (87Sr/86Sr and δ18Op) to reevaluate the proportion of in-migr…
The Florentine Codex
This year marks the quincentenary of the fall of the Mexica-Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan and the surrender by its great speaker (huey tlatoani), Cuauhtemoc, to Hernando Cortés and allied forces at the sister city of Tlatelolco. It is therefore exceptionally timely to welcome this rigorous, interdisciplinary, and engaging treatment of the most consequential manuscript on the Aztec or Nahua worlds, largely assembled in the same Tlatelolco: the His…

Excavation of an Obsidian Craft Workshop at Teotihuacan, Mexico
The original research by the Teotihuacan Mapping Project (TMP) identified a large number of obsidian workshops within Teotihuacan based on surface concentrations of production debris. Clark (1986b) questioned the validity of these identifications and called for subsurface excavation to confirm the presence of in situ workshop locales. This article summarizes the results from the excavation of one of the obsidian workshops identified in the Tlajin…

New Research at Teotihuacan’s Tlajinga District, 2012–2015
Teotihuacan's Tlajinga district is a cluster of neighborhoods on the southern periphery of the city best known for earlier investigations at Compound 33:S3W1. New research includes excavations at two other apartment compounds and along the southern extension of the Street of the Dead. Excavation contexts, major finds, chronology, and preliminary interpretations are the subject of this article. We highlight evidence attesting to a major obsidian-b…

El desarrollo de la sociedad urbana en el Altiplano Central mexicano durante el Formativo y la transición al Clásico
During the two millennia designated the Formative period (1500 BC – AD 100) and the Classic period (AD 100–650), societies of the central Mexican highlands undertook many of the key transformations typically associated with premodern social complexity. These include the transition to agricultural and sedentary lifeways; the creation of urban centers with monumental architecture; the diversification of economic production, intensification of excha…
Collaborative and competitive strategies in the variability and resiliency of large‐scale societies in Mesoamerica
Examinations of the variation and duration of past large‐scale societies have long involved a conceptual struggle between efforts at generalization and the unraveling of specific trajectories. Although historical particulars are critical to understanding individual cases, there exist both scientific and policy rationales for drawing broader implications regarding the growing corpus of cross‐cultural data germane to understanding variability in th…

Religion, urbanism, and inequality in ancient central Mexico
A critical theme in the archaeology of religion is the dynamic tension between those beliefs and practices that connect people and those that divide them. Tensions between more politicized religion promoted by the powerful and the differential participation of rural inhabitants and commoners were especially acute during periods that witnessed the transition to urban lifeways and institutionalized inequality. This chapter examines similarity and v…
Cooperation, collective action, and the archeology of large‐scale societies
Archeologists investigating the emergence of large‐scale societies in the past have renewed interest in examining the dynamics of cooperation as a means of understanding societal change and organizational variability within human groups over time. Unlike earlier approaches to these issues, which used models designated voluntaristic or managerial, contemporary research articulates more explicitly with frameworks for cooperation and collective acti…
Lithic Economies and Community Organization at La Laguna, Tlaxcala
Site-wide, assemblage-based lithic analyses help to elucidate community dynamics including variability in domestic economies, technological skill and decision making, exchange networks, and ritual practices. In this study we present the results of an analysis of over 36,000 lithic artifacts from the site of La Laguna, Tlaxcala. We compare Middle to Late Formative period (ca. 600–400b.c.) and Terminal Formative period (ca. 100b.c.–a.d.150) deposit…

Formative and Classic Period Obsidian Procurement in Central Mexico
This report presents the results of a compositional study using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to examine central Mexican obsidian procurement at four sites dating to the Formative and Classic periods. The study demonstrates LA-ICP-MS to be a highly accurate obsidian sourcing technique, with results that are directly comparable to instrumental neutron activation analysis. It documents a shift circa 600 B.C…
Advances in the Household Archaeology of Highland Mesoamerica
Recent investigations and reconsideration of households in the Mesoamerican highlands illustrate the central role of domestic spheres of interaction to the broader cultural dynamics of the region over four millennia. Methodological advances in the analysis of past houses permit more sophisticated social reconstructions of the spaces and activities that constituted domestic life for the diverse peoples of the region. Current studies highlight the …
Household and Status in Formative Central Mexico
Two Terminal Formative (ca. 100 B. C.-A.D. 100) domestic areas of La Laguna, Tlaxcala, are compared to examine variability in residential structures, assemblages, and practices, and their correlation to status differences at this midsize regional center during the period of initial central Mexican urbanization and state formation. Combining multiple lines of evidence, the study assesses the applicability of previous frameworks for investigating h…
Exploring Formative Period Obsidian Blade Trade
Obsidian prismatic blades were widely traded across Mesoamerica during the Early and Middle Formative periods. However, it was not until the Late Formative period (400b.c.—a.d. 100) that prismatic blade cores began to be exchanged extensively. Although it is generally accepted that the trading of blades preceded the trading of cores by almost 1,000 years, little is know about the structure of blade trading during the Early and Middle Formative pe…

Public Ritual and Urbanization in Central Mexico
Urbanization of the world's first cities involved the social integration of greater scales of community membership as well as the social differentiation of individuals along the continua of wealth, power, and occupational specialization that define urban landscapes. This article considers the causal role of public ritual in these processes during the period of incipient urbanism in central Mexico (c. 600 BC–AD 100) by examining temple and plaza o…
Effigy Vessels, Religious Integration, and the Origins of the Central Mexican Pantheon
Investigations into the evolution of early religious institutions should emphasize how the ritual manipulation of symbolically charged objects generated shared understandings regarding divine entities among religious communities of practice. This study demonstrates that the origins of two distinctively central Mexican deities—the Old God of Fire and the Storm God—can best be understood through contextual analysis of effigy vessels depicting them …
Implements of State Power
The expansionary strategies of Teotihuacano political leaders involved the large-scale manufacture of weaponry and the production of ceremonial items representative of a coherent suite of symbols expressing themes of warfare and sacrifice. Recent excavations at the Moon Pyramid demonstrate that such production activities were undertaken next to the monument, where obsidian was reduced into dart points and eccentrics linked to militarism and sacri…

Suprahousehold consumption and community ritual at La Laguna, Mexico
Recent work at La Laguna in Central Mexico provides an excellent illustration of the way in which information from architecture, food remains, ceramic vessels and chemical signatures can be brought together to demonstrate communal feasting associated with specific structures and public spaces. Structure 12M-3 contained a range of evidence indicative of food preparation and consumption. Ritual effigy vessels depicted deities connected with food an…

Geophysical prospection and aerial photography in La Laguna, Tlaxcala, Mexico
Introduction The paper presents the results of a remote-sensing program at the La Laguna archaeological site, a Late Formative period (c. 600 BC – AD 100) regional center located in northern Tlaxcala (19°30’35” N / 98°00’20” W). The site was the largest community in the region during this period, when adjacent areas of central Mexico witnessed an initial phase of urbanization and state formation (Carballo and Pluckhahn, 2007; Merino Carrión, 1989…

Households in Ancient Mesoamerica
Mesoamerican peoples built for themselves a wide array of domestic units, ranging from modest wattle-and-daub structures in the earliest villages to Teotihuacan's highly planned urban apartment compounds, which were among the most populous residences of the ancient world. This article outlines four broad dimensions of Mesoamerican households: their social organization, their variability related to status, their productive activities, and their ri…
