Aztec Settlement History
"The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs, the first of its kind, provides a current overview of recent research on the Aztec empire, the best documented prehispanic society in the Americas. Chapters span from the establishment of Aztec city-states to the encounter with the Spanish empire and the Colonial period that shaped the modern world. Articles in the Handbook take up new research trends and methodologies and current debates. The Handbook articles…
Market Development and Pottery Exchange Under Aztec and Spanish Rule in Cerro Portezuelo
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of Middle and Late Postclassic and Early Colonial period decorated and plain ware ceramic sherds from Brainerd's excavation collections at Cerro Portezuelo highlight diachronic changes in commercial pottery exchange prior to and during the Aztec empire and during the first century of Spanish colonial rule. The INAA results show that before the Aztec empire (Middle Postclassic period;a.d.1150–1350), …

Archaeological Approaches to Market Exchange in Ancient Societies
Ancient market activities are dynamic in the economies of most ancient states, yet they have received little research from the archaeological community. This is the first book to address the development, change, and organisational complexity of ancient markets from a comparative archaeological perspective. Drawing from historical documents and archaeological records from Mesoamerica, the U.S. Southwest, East Africa, and the Andes, this volume rev…
Preindustrial Markets and Marketing
Markets are key contemporary institutions, yet there is little agreement concerning their history or diversity. To complicate matters, markets have been considered by different academic disciplines that approach the nature of such exchange systems from diametrically opposed perspectives that impede cross-disciplinary dialogue. This paper reviews the theoretical and methodological issues surrounding the detection, development, and significance of …
Attribute-Based Seriation of Postclassic and Early Colonial Sherd Collections from the Basin of Mexico
Seriation of ceramic collections based on diachronic changes in formal and surface treatment attributes offers advantages over type-based approaches when dealing with small collections. Individual attributes may be recordable where types (constellations of attributes) are not, increasing the quantity of chronological information that can be inferred. In addition, different classes of attributes (e.g., decorative, formal, surface treatment) highli…
Evaluating the Distributional Approach to Inferring Marketplace Exchange
Over a decade ago Kenneth Hirth (1998, 2000) developed a "distributional approach" for archaeologically inferring the existence of marketplace exchange based on analyses of domestic artifact collections. Domestic collections, he reasoned, will be relatively homogeneous in areas where most or all households rely on marketplace exchange to acquire domestic provisions. The present study evaluates Hirth's distributional approach using a statistical m…
Parallel Archaeological and Visibility Survey in the Western Lower Papaloapan Basin, Veracruz, Mexico
We evaluate a relatively intensive Gulf lowland survey in Mesoamerica to assess the effects of topographic and ground visibility as well as vegetation types on the archaeological information recovered. Surveys conducted between 1986 and 1989 and between 1998 and 2002 in the Western Lower Papaloapan Basin, Veracruz, Mexico, focused on individual archaeological features rather than sites. The features are predominantly residential earthen mounds, b…
Aztec Teotihuacan
Teotihuacan, located in the northeastern Basin of Mexico, is best known for its Preclassic and Classic period occupations (ca. 150 B.C.-A.D. 700) but was also an important city-state during the Aztec and Early Colonial periods, circa A.D. 1200-1650. Much has been written about political relations among Aztec city-states in the basin. However, the internal political structures of most city-states remain largely unknown because colonial chroniclers…
Evaluation of Systematic Surface Evidence for Pottery Production in Veracruz, Mexico
Survey-based analyses have used varied criteria to detect locations of pottery production in the Gulf lowlands of south-central and southern Veracruz, Mexico. A common practice uses double criteria: high frequencies or high densities of particular kinds of pottery in conjunction with highly reliable indicators, such as kiln fragments. Reliable indicators are relatively scarce, however, and subject to sampling error. Two previous analytical approa…
Imperial and Social Relations in Postclassic South-Central Veracruz, Mexico
We explore social and imperial relations in the western lower Papaloapan Basin, especially along the lower Blanco River, using statistical analyses of ceramic rims from recent surveys. This region is sandwiched between two known tributary provincial centers of the Aztec empire, but its relationship to the empire is uncertain in colonial documentary materials. Our analyses illuminate changes in social relations from the Middle (A. D. 1150-1350) to…
Ceramic Indices of Aztec Eliteness
This article explores the complex, multidimensional nature of Aztec social organization and, specifically, the concept of “eliteness,” as it applies to the Aztecs. I discuss both why we can speak of Aztec “elites” and how we can monitor them using ceramic data. I argue it is possible to distinguish elites archaeologically by identifying the ceramic attributes and variables that best reflect feasting behavior, one of the primary practices the Azte…
The Politics of Commerce
The relationships between market and political institutions have varied in different times and places, but no market system was (or is) devoid of political involvement. The contrasting approaches of the Aztec empire and Spanish colonial regime to the Basin of Mexico market system are instructive about the ways that commercial agents (producers, traders) respond to 'top- down' pressures from state elites to steer and direct the commercial economy …
