Mounds, Towns, and their Surrounds: An Archaeological, Historical, and Geophysical Approach to Burial Mounds, Residential Space, and Cultural Landscapes of the Late Woodland Springwells Site ( a.d. 80…
Historic Fort Wayne is located on the Detroit River in a landscape of heavy industry and marginalized urban neighborhoods (figure 1). Geophysical survey south of the Fort Wayne Mound—a Late Woodland Period burial mound enclosed by the Fort—indicates that pre-contact residential structures may be preserved at the site. Residential sites with mortuary monuments are uncommon in southeastern Michigan and represent an opportunity to better understand …

Nonagricultural Cultivation and Social Complexity: The Olmec, Their Ancestors, and Mexico’s Southern Gulf Coast Lowlands
Early civilization has been envisioned as a child of agriculture, a product of the Neolithic revolution proposed by V. Gordon Childe. However, archaeological and ethnographic records worldwide are replete with complex hunter-gatherers who rely on both wild and domesticated resources. Researchers now recognize that mixed or largely nonagricultural subsistence practices frequently supported sedentary groups and larger complex societies before agric…

Cultivating, Farming, and Food Containers: Reflections on Formative Subsistence and Intensification in the Southern Gulf Coast Lowlands
Robert S. Santley was known for his studies of obsidian exchange and Teotihaucan influence in Mesoamerica. He also was a student of tropical agriculture and a practitioner of innovative survey methods. In 1992 Santley published a study of Formative period (1500-500 BC) agriculture and settlement in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. His model linked land use and food preparation practices to ceramic vessel use. He compared the food prod…
The Olmec Legacy: Cultural Continuity and Change in Mexico's Southern Gulf Coast Lowlands
Archaeological research in the southern Gulf lowlands of Mexico has focused on the notable accomplishments of the Formative Period Olmec. Yet, with few exceptions, the spectacular early cultural developments in the region have not been well articulated with local patterns of cultural continuity and change during subsequent Classic and Postclassic times. Research in the Hueyapan region of Veracruz in Mexico's southern Gulf lowlands provides new da…

Cultivation Intensity and Residential Site Structure: An Ethnoarchaeological Examination of Peasant Agriculture in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico
Agricultural and residential space were integrated in prehistoric lowland Mesoamerica for productive and domestic activities to produce distinctive patterns of settlement and land use visible in the archaeological record. Ethnoarchaeological studies provide information on the behavioral component of site formation in such contexts. Contemporary residential refuse treatment and the use of infield agricultural land are examined here from a sample o…
Intensive Surface Collection of Residential Clusters at Terminal Classic Sayil, Yucatan, Mexico
Information from intensive surface collections at the urban center of Sayil in the hill country of SW Yucatan, Mexico, has begun to elucidate the complex interaction of settlement, environment, and demography in a dry and demanding tropical lowland setting. Fine-grained surface collection techniques outlined in this report have produced a detailed picture of the distribution of artifacts within one portion of the site and provide the foundation f…
On the Maya Collapse
The collapse of Late Classic Maya civilization involved more than the disintegration of political structure. It involved a total system failure in which both centers and dependent villages were abandoned by elites and commoners alike. The lowland rainforest habitat where Maya civilization developed was not significantly reoccupied until comparatively recent times. The collapse was differential, in that centers in coastal areas or drier regions su…
