While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it ir an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet ?nd to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

VLfl4'UJ~i— SIGNED ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The archaeological settlement pattern survey herein reported has resulted from an ongoing affiliation of two large projects in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico. Their Directors, Kent V. Flannery and Richard E. Blanton, may share much of the credit for whatever merits may be ascribed this paper. The Valley of Oaxaca Prehistoric Human Ecology Project was begun in 1966 by Flannery. Its general goals have been to investigate cultural-ecological processes contributing to the prehispanic importance of the Valley. National Science Foundation funds from Grant No. GS-2121 to Flannery were utilized during my 1970 survey as was a small grant from the Society of the Sigma Xi. The Valley of Oaxaca Prehispanic Settlement Survey Project was begun in 1971 by Blanton. Its goals have been to conduct systematic surveys of all archaeological sites in the Valley, including detailed mapping of the largest site, Monte Alban. Funds from NSF Grant No. GS-38030 to Blanton. The Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, provided Ford Foundation Travel Grants for field assistants during the summer of 1972. The Texas Memorial Museum, University of Texas, Austin, pro­ vided numerous funds and equipment without which I could not have undertaken the Oaxaca fieldwork. iii iv A Museum Program Fellowship CGrant No. A72-1-233) awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1972 allowed me to begin a sur­ vey of post-conquest settlements in the Valley of Oaxaca, with the special assistance of Anthony Crosby, architect, and Emily Umberger, art historian. My surveys were undertaken under the authority and supervision of the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, Concesiones No. 1/68 and 16/71 to the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michi­ gan, for Kent V. Flannery, and Concesion No. 5/71 to the Department of Anthropology, Rice University, for Richard E. Blanton. Considerable assistance, including the writing of many letters of introduction for us to municipal and other local authorities, was generously provided by the Oaxaca representatives of the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, Lorenzo Gamio and Manuel Esparza. The following individuals contributed immeasurably to various aspects of field and laboratory work during the summers of 1970, 1972 and 1973; they all have my long-lasting gratitude. Alphabetically, they are: Brenda Ray Allen, Paul Neil Allen, Richard N. Belding, Sharon Allen Belding, Betty A. Brown, Dick Drennan, Armando Jimenez, Carl Kuttruff, Virginia E. Miller, Janet I. Mitchell, Steve Plog, Elizabeth B. Shropshire, and Marcus C. Winter. A dozen or so others, here unnamed, participated in the survey for at least a day and earned their Corn Field Walker or Hill Climber badges. V Special thanks go to: 1. James A. Neely for originally introducing me to the Valley of Oaxaca and its seasonal-resident archaeologists. 2. Cecil R. Welte, unofficial consultant for all anthropological activities in the Valley of Oaxaca. 3. David S. Dibble, Director, Texas Archaeological Survey, for use of a 4x4 vehicle in 1970 and 1971. 4. The Lopez family for four summers of comfortable accommodations in their Rancho San Felipe. 5. Staff members at the Guelatao, "Globos", "Odd-Jobs", and "Blue Beach" for gastronomical and other treats. 6. The "San Felipe Rauncheros" for innumerable pickin' sessions. The Chairman of my Dissertation Committee at The University of Arizona, T. Patrick Culbert, provided counsel and criticism, as did other members of that Committee, William L. Rathje and Edwin N. Ferdon. Finally, my wife, Lynn A. Varner, deserves more than mere words of appreciation for enduring the travels and travails necessary to the completion of this dissertation.

  • Cerro Danush: an Exploration of the Late Classic Transition in the Tlacolula Valley, Oaxaca

Dainzú-Macuilxóchitl is an expansive settlement that was an important part of the Prehispanic Zapotec tradition. Over 130 man-made terraces were mapped, all dating to the Late Classic period (500-900 A.D.), and a large terrace complex found at the summit of Cerro Danush is interpreted as the civic-ceremonial center of the site during that time. I argue that the Late Classic shift in civic-ceremonial focus away from Cerro Dainzú to Cerro Danush implies direct involvement at the site from the nearby urban center of Monte Albán.

  • Ethnohistorical Archaeology in Mexico 2015 Field School
    ANNUAL REPORT: ETHNOHISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY IN MEXICO 2015 FIELD SCHOOL Director(s): John M. D. Pohl, UCLA and CSULA Co-Director(s): Danny Zborover, Brown University The 2015 team exploring a deep cave at the archaeological site of Guiengola The 2015 season of the Ethnohistorical Archaeology in Mexico field program was our most ambitious yet, at least in terms of geographical coverage. We started from exploring archaeological and historical sites in Mexico City and its surrounding, followed by a few days in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Cholula. We then took a long drive up and down from Cacaxtla to the Pacific Coast, to the once powerful Mixtec kingdom of Tututepec. The rest of our time on the coast was spent in Huatulco, one of the most important trade ports in the Late Postclassic and Early Colonial period and a vibrant hub to Pochutec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Chontal, and other ethnic groups. From there we continued to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Zapotec kingdom antagonistic to the Mixtecs, and explored the ruined fortress-temples of Guiengola. The third week was dedicated to the amazing sites, museums, and living cultures of the Valley of Oaxaca, and we even got a glimpse of the Guelaguetza festivity preparations. The last week went by fast in between site-seeing and codex-deciphering in the Mixteca Highlands, which we explored from our home bases at the Yanhuitlan convent and the Apoala scared valley. While seemingly distant from each other in space and time, these sites and regions are all connected and played an important role in one long and interwoven story.
