Richard Stockton MacNeish (1918-2001)
Richard S. « Scotty » MacNeish at the Lowe Ranch archaeological site, Belize, C. A., April 1982 (Photograph by Robert N. Zeitlin). On January 16, 2001, archaeology lost one of its most distinguished practitioners and arguably its most colorful character when Richard Stockton MacNeish, affectionately known as « Scotty » to friends and colleagues, succumbed to injuries suffered in an automobile crash in the Mountain Pine Ridge area of Belize. Unwil…

The Zapotec-Imperialism Argument
[Comments and Replies]
Accounting for the prehistoric long-distance movement of goods with a measure of style
A sharing of stylistic attributes is taken to be a measure of social and political relationships. By calculating a coefficient of stylistic association between peoples of distant regions, a crude but useful indicator of the temper of sociopolitical relationships is derived which can help account for otherwise puzzling changes in the long‐distance interchange of economically valuable goods. In a trial application of this analytical procedure, attr…
Pacific Coastal Laguna Zope
Recent excavations at Laguna Zope, on the southern Isthmus of Tehuantepec, provide interesting insights into the nature of a regional center in the hinterlands of Monte Albán. The excavation focused on an elite-status area of the site dating to the Terminal Formative period, a time when the Monte Albán polity in the highland Valley of Oaxaca was thought to have embarked on an imperialist campaign to turn former exchange partners into tribute-payi…
The Isthmus and the Valley of Oaxaca
Recent archaeological and epigraphic research suggests the existence of what could be Mesoamerica's first conquest state, centered at Monte Albán, the major Late Formative period Zapotec site in the Valley of Oaxaca. This paper explores the idea of an early Zapotec empire by examining evidence from one of Monte Albán's outlying regions, the southern Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The study is framed in terms of three hypothetical models of political and…

A Summary Report on Three Seasons of Field Investigations into the Archaic Period Prehistory of Lowland Belize
Toward a More Comprehensive Model of Interregional Commodity Distribution
The distance-decay model of commodity distribution is examined for its potential utility in accounting for the interregional patterning of nonlocal goods during prehistoric times. Data obtained through a spectrochemical trace element analysis of Mesoamerican obsidian artifacts serve to expose some of the model's explanatory deficiencies and, when viewed in the context of what we know about the events of Mesoamerican prehistory, suggest that varia…
