Streets and Open Spaces: Comparing Mobility and Urban Form at Angamuco and Chunchucmil, Mexico
Angamuco and Chunchucmil are two of the few Mesoamerican cities with relatively complete street maps. These maps provide a rare opportunity to study how the bulk of the population moved through cities, how people worked together to organize a network of paths and open spaces, what kind of interactions these features afforded, and how they contributed to the formation of social identities. Having found that space syntax methods confirmed intuitive…
A Mesoamerican Urban Road Network: An Analysis of Pedestrian Pathways of Angamuco, Michoacán
This article examines the urban layout and development of the ancient city of Angamuco (AD 250-1530)-a populated urban center located within the core area of the Purépecha Empire in Michoacán, Mexico-through the lens of its complex road network. Image and network analysis of lidar datasets revealed more than 3,000 roads distributed throughout the site, identified the main patterns of road arrangement, and documented variable accessibility within …
A Typology of Ancient Purépecha (Tarascan) Architecture from Angamuco, Michoacán, Mexico
The morphological study of architectural features, the building arrangement within urban spaces, and multiscalar variation are critical for understanding urbanism as a process. Building types and architectural typologies form the foundational blocks of urban morphology and are essential for identifying architectural patterning. We use a process-typological approach to present an architectural typology from the ancient Purépecha (Tarascan) city of…
The micropolitics of public archaeology: Working with the ejido in Michoacán, Mexico
Approximately 90% of Mexican archaeological sites are on communal ejido lands and yet the Mexican Constitution stipulates that all cultural heritage is the property of the federal government. Considering this disconnect between federal and local practices, how can archaeologists work with ejido communities to help preserve cultural patrimony? This article explores the micropolitics associated with archaeological fieldwork on communal ejido lands …
