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.

  • A Microcosm of the Theoretical Turmoil in Contemporary Archaeology” (P
    duction, these essays are “a microcosm of the theoretical turmoil in contemporary archaeology” (p. 13). JOHN K. chance, Arizona State University The Origins of Agriculture and Settled Life. By Richard s. macneish. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992. Maps. Graphs. Tables. Figures. Bibliography. Index, xix, 433 pp. Cloth. $75.00. This book is written by one of the leaders of cultural ecology. Richard MacNeish is considered the initiator of Latin American archaeological research on the ori­ gins of agriculture. His long career in pursuit of the subject has had a remarkable impact; he has provoked many polemics with his discoveries from Mexico, Belize, and Peru. This work is a synthesis of his perceptions and categorizing views of the routes of human cultural evolution that led to food production and sedentism. The first chapter is the strength of the volume. It reviews some of the models of how agriculture originated but concentrates on an evolutionary model with 17 alternatives, or adaptational choices. Of these, only 3 trajectories lead to agricul­ tural villagers, who evolve from food collectors to food producers. The changes from one stage to the next result from environmental variations (for example, seasonality, distribution of resources, changes in carrying capacity) and the avail­ ability of domesticated plants. Population pressure arguments seem relevant only in secondary developments. Environmental variation is the basis of most of the arguments over what are the necessary and sufficient conditions that trigger the change toward any of the potential routes and stages. In his complex division, MacNeish differentiates (as others have previously) between centers and noncenters of agricultural origins.

    Histories of Maize FM-P369364.qxd 2/21/06 4:51 PM Page ii The Italian explorer Girolamo Benzoni (c. 1541–55) recorded the steps involved in processing husked corn to make fresh dough. First the kernels were ground with a mano and metate and then patted into small cakes and finally cooked on a comal or griddle (from Girolamo Benzoni, La historia del mondo nvovo di M. Girolamo Benzoni Milanese, Venetia, F. Rampazeto. 1565. p. 56, verso). Images such as this woodcut and accounts from various chroniclers who came to the New World emphasized the role of maize as a primary staple, the staff of life, essentially synonymous to Old World wheat and barley. These early descriptions and the later role of maize as one of the world’s primary economic staples predisposed many scholars to emphasize and, in some instances, assert that Zea mays L. was the catalyst to the devel- opment of civilization in this hemisphere. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that its role was more complex and varied than had been previously assumed. These histories of maize show that in some cases its symbolic role to ethnic identity, religion, and elite status may have been as important as its economic role to such developmental processes.

  • Formative Mexican Chiefdoms and the Myth of the "Mother Culture"
    Journal of Anthropological Archaeology 19, 1–37 (2000) doi:10.1006/jaar.1999.0359, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Formative Mexican Chiefdoms and the Myth of the “Mother Culture” Kent V. Flannery and Joyce Marcus Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1079 Most scholars agree that the urban states of Classic Mexico developed from Formative chiefdoms which preceded them. They disagree over whether that development (1) took place over the whole area from the Basin of Mexico to Chiapas, or (2) emanated entirely from one unique culture on the Gulf Coast. Recently Diehl and Coe (1996) put forth 11 assertions in defense of the second scenario, which assumes an Olmec “Mother Culture.” This paper disputes those assertions. It suggests that a model for rapid evolution, originally presented by biologist Sewall Wright, provides a better explanation for the explosive development of For- mative Mexican society. © 2000 Academic Press INTRODUCTION to be civilized.

    Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 237 (2006) 51–66 www.elsevier.com/locate/palaeo Archaeological coprolite science: The legacy of Eric O. Callen (1912–1970) ⁎ Vaughn M.

Dean b,1 a Department of Anthropology, Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352, USA b Historic Preservation Division, New Mexico Office of Cultural Affairs, Santa Fe, NM 87501, USA Accepted 8 November 2005 Abstract The detailed analysis of human coprolites as a recognized field of archaeological science is barely 40years old. Dr. Eric O. Callen, the founder and developer of the discipline, has been dead for more than 30years, yet the ideas he developed and techniques he perfected continue to guide the discipline today as it widens analysis into more areas than he ever dreamed possible. Callen would be gratified to learn that others have extended his initial research efforts to include the routine analysis of plant macrofossils, pollen concentration values, fauna and insects, phytoliths, and more recently, immunological proteins, trace elements, gas chromatography, and the extraction and identification of DNA from prehistoric human feces. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
