The Organization of Obsidian Exchange at Middle Postclassic Sauce and Its Hinterland in Veracruz, Mexico
To describe the structure of production and the organization of exchange of obsidian chipped stone during the Middle Postclassic period (AD 1200-1350) in south-central Veracruz, Mexico, I analyzed 65 residential inventories from the center of Sauce and its hinterland. Previous research on obsidian production found a spatial association with Sauce, which could support the political administration of exchange, or alternatively, identify market exch…
Scaling Centers and Commerce in Preclassic and Late Classic Settlements in South-Central Veracruz
Previous research in the Mixtequilla region of south-central Veracruz documented commercial market exchange centered on the Middle Postclassic period (1200-1350 CE) center of Sauce. However, residential evidence and the spatial articulation of exchange (commercial or not) with centers has not been evaluated systematically for both the Preclassic (600 BCE - 300 CE) and Late Classic (600-900 CE) periods. These periods are of particular interest in …
The Ancient Maya Marketplace
This volume provides a fresh perspective on an incredibly important issue in Maya studies: market economies and marketplace identification in places where these two related topics have often been overlooked. Editor Eleanor King observes that Maya marketplaces have been hiding in plain sight, obscured by preconceived assumptions about Maya societies. Substantivist ideas, rising out of Karl Polanyi's old assertions against the development of premod…
Plazas in Comparative Perspective in South-Central Veracruz from the Classic to the Postclassic Period (AD 300–1350)
Exchange Network Topologies and Agent-Based Modeling
The origins and evolution of market-based economies remain poorly understood in part because the data from nascent markets are scarce and methods available to archaeologists are underdeveloped. Studying how markets evolved is vital for understanding the origins of a process that dominates modern economies around the world and has significant policy implications. We show how refining abstract models of exchange networks with household-scale distri…
Using network expectations to identify multiple exchange systems
Ancient Settlement, Urban Gardening, and Environment in the Gulf Lowlands of Mexico
Urban settlement in the western lower Papaloapan River basin in the Gulf lowlands was dispersed and likely employed intensive gardening near domiciles. Land surrounding homes also may have played a symbolic role in these agrarian societies. Water works-formal ponds associated with temple platforms and other prominent structures as well as with many residential mounds-support the idea of symbolic as well as practical functions in land use around b…
