  • Urbanization and Imperial Integration at Angamuco, Michoacán, Mexico

    Andrew S Cohen, Anna S CohenARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2021Cited by: 6References: 55

    This article discusses the urban landscape of Angamuco, located in the Purépecha (Tarascan) imperial heartland in western Mexico. Angamuco was occupied between the Late Preclassic through Late Postclassic periods (250–1530 a.d.) and included an occupation with monumental architecture and artifacts that can be linked to the Purépecha Empire. This paper provides an occupation model for Angamuco using radiocarbon determinations and artifact associat…

  • A Typology of Ancient Purépecha (Tarascan) Architecture from Angamuco, Michoacán, Mexico

    Open AccessChristopher T Fisher, Andrew S Cohen et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2019Cited by: 10References: 37

    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…

  • Cultural Models ofRaça

    H J Francois Dengah, Jason Gilmore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Anthropological Research2019Cited by: 1References: 44

    Nearly 50 years ago, Marvin Harris published a seminal paper that examined how Brazilians create taxonomic categories of racial identity. In the intervening decades, new cognitive theories and analytical approaches have enabled researchers to investigate cultural domains with increased sophistication and nuance. In this paper, we revisit, replicate, and extend Harris’s research by utilizing modern cognitive anthropological approaches such as mult…

  • The micropolitics of public archaeology

    Open AccessAndrew S Cohen, Anna S Cohen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Archaeology2017Cited by: 1References: 33

    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 …

  • The Tarascan (Purépecha) Empire

    Andrew S Cohen, Anna S Cohen et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs2016

    At the time of European contact, western Mexico was dominated by the Tarascos, who spoke a language called Purépecha. Never defeated by the bordering Aztec Empire, the Purépecha Empire instituted a bureaucratic system that was designed to extract tribute from subjects and to control political, economic, and social life throughout their territory. Archaeological research shows that existing societies in west Mexico were quickly co-opted by Purépec…
