The Native Aristocracy and the Evolution of the Latifundio in the Teotihuacán Valley, 1521-1917
Latifundismo, representing a variety of jural types, has characterized land tenure in the Teotihuacán Valley since Aztec, very probably pre-Aztec, times. Throughout the colonia and until the inception of the Republic, the largest single landholder in the valley remained the cacique of Teotihuacán. While much extant literature contrasts the hacienda as a type with the estates of the native aristocracy, we suggest a functional similarity based on c…

Cultural Materialism
A review of the principles of cultural materialism (a synthesis of Marx's causal primacy of the infrastructure and Darwinian mechanisms of natural selection), this paper addresses certain substantive and metatheoretical problems of contemporary anthropology. A position paper, it is written from the standpoint that cultural materialism offers the most powerful and productive set of premises extant in the discipline for the explanation of cultural …
Archaeology
Specialization, Market Exchange, and the Aztec State
Archaeological data from Huexotla, an Aztec-period site in the Valley of Mexico, are used to test the proposition that Mexican states arose and expanded to facilitate specialization and market exchange. By and large, this proposition is not supported by the Huexotla data. During Early Aztec times, the Valley of Mexico was divided into a number of small, autonomous city-states. The Huexotla data suggest that the local economies of these city-state…

On Price and Carneiro on Causality
Demystification, enriddlement, and Aztec cannibalism
A recent paper by Harner (1977) explains the Aztec human sacrifice and cannibalism complex on the basis of a postulated protein deprivation and protein hunger. In response, the present model is developed on epistemologically stronger and more parsimonious grounds, which emphasize nomothetic aspects of the institution at the expense of supposed uniquenesses. Powerful systemic links to the economic network of production and distribution and to the …
On 'Facts' and Paradigms
The Supranational Organization of Production
Fresh theoretical perspectives are required for understanding the rapid expansion of international economic activity and especially the organization of production on a world scale through institutions of multinational enterprise. Ananthropological evolutionary approach which sees these developments as part of the generation of a new system at a supranational level of sociocultural integration seems appropiate to the task. The creation of such a n…
Shifts in Production and Organization
Periods of intensification alternate with periods of shift of mode of production in pristine-state sequences; attendant upon these are regular shifts in sociopolitical organization. This paper develops an evolutionary model of these regularities and their relation to other traditional questions of state formation. Specifically it notes that rarely if ever do such transformations affect only a single precocious polity, at any level of sociocultura…
Archaeology
Canal Irrigation and Local Social Organization [and Comments and Reply]
Theory linking labor inputs of irrigation agriculture to social organization is briefly reviewed. Labor input is distinguished into five tasks: construction, maintenance, allocation, conflict resolution, and organization of ritual. A sample of world communities is canvassed in search of structural variation. A rationale for studying these phenomena in a local, rather than a society-wide, context is presented. Types of ties of the locality with th…
Prehispanic Irrigation Agriculture in Nuclear America
Among archaeologists concerned with the study of cultural regularities in the evolution of the early civilizations, few general hypotheses have stirred such controversy as that which postulates a causal link between the phenomenon of irrigation agriculture and the origins of the state. Adumbrated initially by Karl Wittfogel in the 1920s and stated by him most completely in Oriental Despotism (1957), the hydraulic theory has been subject to much d…
