A Cumulative Interaction Path Analysis for Santo Domingo Tonaltepec, Mixteca Alta, Mexico
Proyecto Arqueológico Cerro Jazmín: Investigando el urbanismo mixteco y su impacto social
Este artículo presenta un resumen de los resultados más sobresalientes de las últimas cuatro temporadas de excavación y dos temporadas de mapeo y recorrido sistemático en el sitio de Cerro Jazmín, ubicado en la Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, México. Los trabajos arqueológicos nos han permitido documentar un importante asentamiento urbano que se remonta al Formativo tardío (300 aC) y un período inicial de florecimiento urbano del 300 aC al 300 dC. Nuestras…
Radiocarbon Database Offers New Perspectives on Ancient Oaxaca - Erratum
Radiocarbon Database Offers New Perspectives on Ancient Oaxaca
We present a dataset of 1,119 radiocarbon dates and their contexts for Oaxaca, Mexico, a best effort to include all published dates, plus hundreds of unpublished samples. We illustrate its potential and limitations with five examples: (1) dated stratigraphy in stream cutbanks show how aggradation, downcutting, and stability responded to global climate and human activities; (2) 14C samples from Late/Terminal Formative contexts allow interregional …
Urbanism in Mesoamerica
Urban societies have been defined as stratified, and sometimes literate, societies that build large, densely populated, and monumental centers that serve specialized political, economic, and ritual functions for their regions. Mesoamerica is one of six world regions where urban societies developed, independently, in antiquity. Mesoamerican cities sometimes fit traditional definitions, and other times defy them. There are examples of dispersed low…
Viviendo al borde: Territorio y patrones de asentamiento prehispánico en Santo Domingo Tonaltepec dentro del contexto regional de la mixteca alta
Se presentan los resultados del recorrido de superficie realizado en la comunidad de Santo Domingo Tonaltepec en la Mixteca Alta de Oaxaca, en el que se identificaron y registraron 43 nuevos sitios arqueológicos datados a las fases Ramos (alrededor de los 300 aC hasta los 250 dC), Las Flores (aproximadamente 250-900 dC) y Natividad (aproximadamente 900-1521 dC). Estos nuevos sitios se contextualizan en el ámbito regional al relacionarlos con los …
Urban to the bone: Isotopic and faunal dietary data from Formative-period Cerro Jazmín, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, México
Political Strategies and the Urban Spaces That Reflect Them in Formative-Period Cerro Jazmín, Oaxaca
Based on stratigraphic excavation data and associated radiocarbon dates we argue that the pre-Hispanic city of Cerro Jazmín, in the Mixteca Alta region of Oaxaca, underwent a period of political change between the Late Formative (300 b.c.–a.d. 50) and the Terminal Formative periods (a.d. 50–300). This shift is reflected in the city's layout and in the timing of construction and use of two different monumental sectors. During the city's Late Forma…
Tratamiento Funerario y Organización Social en la Mixteca Alta
Este estudio busca comprender el comportamiento y las prácticas culturales que rodean el tratamiento funerario en la Mixteca Alta durante el Formativo. El tratamiento funerario implica todo el proceso que el cuerpo de un individuo tuvo durante y después de su entierro. Actualmente, los datos de los sitios de Etlatongo y Cerro Jazmín, localizados en ésta región, nos permiten entender las interacciones sociales a través de la muerte. Desde la bioar…
Maya Potters' Indigenous Knowledge: Cognition, Engagement, and Practice - by Arnold, Dean E
Late to Terminal Formative period political transformations and their household-level impact at Cerro Jazmín, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca
Chronological trends in the use of Valley of Oaxaca ceramics and ceramic styles at Cerro Jazmín, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca
Feasting and Building an Urban Society at Cerro Jazmín, Oaxaca, Mexico
Here we present new excavation data from the urban site of Cerro Jazmín, Oaxaca, Mexico. Based on a comparative analysis of ceramic, faunal, botanical, and architectural evidence collected from a prominent city sector and a contemporary residence, we argue that feasting took place in the Sunken Patio Sector in the Late and Terminal Formative periods. Feasting strategies in an earlier occupation of the city sector employed a largely exclusionary s…
Tiltepec Yellow-Ware Ceramics From Cerro Jazmín, Oaxaca: A Contribution to the Ceramic Chronology of the Mixteca Alta
We present new data on a class of ceramics called Tiltepec yellow wares, dated to the Late and Terminal Formative period occupations at Cerro Jazmín, Oaxaca (300 BC- AD 300). Evidence from 27 radiocarbon-dated ceramic assemblages indicates that Tiltepec yellow wares are a distinct ceramic type. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) results further confirm the wares' identification. Defining Tiltepec yellow wares as a type apart from Cla…
Skeletal health and the abandonment of a late-terminal formative urban center in the Mixteca Alta: A bioarchaeological analysis of human remains from Cerro Jazmín
Terrace Agriculture in the Mixteca Alta Region, Oaxaca, Mexico: Ethnographic and Archeological Insights on Terrace Construction and Labor Organization
This article presents ethnographic information on terrace farming that was collected to ground archeological interpretations of cross-channel terraces known as lama-bordos in the Mixteca Alta region of southern Mexico. Ethnographic interviews asked about labor organization and the labor requirements of terrace construction, and also documented agroecological knowledge associated with terrace farming. The integration of ethnographic and archeologi…

The Cerro Jazmín Archaeological Project: Investigating prehispanic urbanism and its environmental impact in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, Mexico
We present the results of the Cerro Jazmín Archaeological Project, a mapping and intensive survey project of a hilltop urban center in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, Mexico. Our archaeological and geomorphological investigations reveal a long history of intermittent occupation with the time of maximum occupation, the Early Postclassic, corresponding with soil formation and landscape stability. Our population estimates are compared with agricultural pr…

Aproximación arqueológica al estudio de los paisajes aterrazados en el área central valenciana
A pesar de la importancia de las terrazas agrícolas en la configuración actual del paisaje valenciano, su estudio arqueológico ha sido prácticamente desatendido. Con el objetivo de entender la profundidad histórica de estos parcelarios de montaña, en el siguiente artículo se realiza una revisión de las evidencias arqueológicas de terrazas residenciales y agrícolas en el área central de valenciana desde la prehistoria hasta época romana. Estas evi…
States and Households: The Social Organization of Terrace Agriculture in Postclassic Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, Mexico
This is a study of agricultural intensification on the household scale in a Mixtec cacicazgo of Oaxaca, Mexico, during the Postclassic period (A.D. 800-1521). Through archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic methods this study investigates the roles of the state and the independent farming household in the emergence and operation of intensive agricultural systems, and agricultural terracing. I present data on two Postclassic houses and r…
Monte Negro and the Urban Revolution in Oaxaca, Mexico
This paper is about Monte Negro's origins, and how this site fits the emerging pattern in studies of Oaxacan urbanization including the Zapotec capital at Monte Albán. Our settlement data from a multivalley regional survey in the Mixteca Alta including Monte Negro allows comparison with other urban centers that we have surveyed. Monte Negro's origins are due to internal settlement shifts, but occurred in the external context of widespread militar…
Archaeological Survey in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico
We summarize the 3,000-year period of Prehispanic settlement in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico, based on our regional surveys. We focus on episodic transitions to compare regional trajectories in the Mixteca Alta and elsewhere in Oaxaca. The regularities in settlement pattern changes over so large an area suggest a common causal chain. The project was a full-coverage survey that recorded over 1000 sites in a 10-valley macroregion. The project…
