INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations 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 through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to righ t in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued z^ain—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. Urüversi^ MjoOTlms International 300 N.

Feinman and Nicholas: New Perspectives on Prehispanic Highland Mesoamerica: A Macroregi NEW PERSPECTIVES ON PREHISPANIC HIGHLAND MESOAMERICA: A MACROREGIONAL APPROACH1 GARY M. FEINMAN LINDA M. NICHOLAS Many social scientists might question the potential role for ar- chaeology in the study of world systems and macroregional politi- cal economies. After all, the principal contributions to this con- temporary research domain have come from history and other social sciences (e.g., Braudel 1972; Wallerstein 1974; Wolf 1982). In addition, most of the world systems literature to date has fo- cused on Europe and other regions of the Old World. This paper takes a somewhat novel tack, one that integrates contemporary findings in archaeology and history to expand and contribute to current debates concerning the nature of ancient world systems and interregional relations. Yet, the geographic focus is not Rome or Greece or even the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, but rather prehispanic Mesoamerica, an area that encom- passes the southern two-thirds of what is now Mexico, as well as Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

The Civil-Religious hierarchy, or fiesta complex, which is found in indigenous communities in Mesoamerica and the Andean countries, has been central to anthropological studies in the area lavish expenditure of the religious cargo holders, the mayordomos, on fiesta celebrations, which has attracted most theories, as, ethnocentrically and materialistically, it is held to be both irrational and because, as the administrative complex of the villages, it is the pivot of village life.

  • Contemporary Studies and Discussions 127

    CONTEMPORARY STUDIES AND DISCUSSIONS 127 CHAPTER FOUR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES AND DISCUSSIONS Our own work started in the aftermath of the International Congress of Americanists in Mexico (1974). We met in 1974 in Ñuu Ndeya (Chalcatongo) by mere chance (if there is such a thing), during Aurora’s rescheduled vacation to attend the Patron Feast of September 8 and Maarten’s first (and unplanned) trip to the Mixteca Alta. Born in the Mixtec traditional community of Yuku Shoo, belonging to Ñuu Ndeya, Aurora had learned her first Spanish when she entered the local primary school at the age of eleven. After finishing at that school, she worked as a domestic servant in Mexico City and then for two years as a migrant in the United States, where she learned English. Coming back to Mexico she worked as a hotel-receptionist and tour guide in Oaxaca, and then for seven years as an international tele- phone operator in Mexico City, during which time she made her first trip to Europe. Meanwhile Maarten had combined the study of Greco- Roman philology and archeology (B.A.) with minors in Nahuatl and Quechua at Leiden University, and had started the M.A. specialization in ancient American civilizations with Professor Ferdinand Anders at the Institut für Völkerkunde, Vienna University. As part of his long-term research, Anders was directing a major project of facsimile editions of ancient Mexican codices at the Akademische Druck-und Verlagsanstalt (ADEVA) in Graz, Austria. Becoming involved in this project, Maarten tried to apply his Leiden training in iconographical and philological methods to these manuscripts.

    Metallurgy, Mayapan, and the Postclassic Mesoamerican World System

    Ancient Mesoamerica, 19 (2008), 43–66 Copyright # 2008 Cambridge University Press. Printed in the U.S.A. doi: 10.1017/S0956536108000291 METALLURGY, MAYAPAN, AND THE POSTCLASSIC MESOAMERICAN WORLD SYSTEM Elizabeth H. Paris University at Albany, State University of New York, Arts and Sciences 237, 1400 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12222, USA Abstract Residents of Mayapan produced and consumed metal artifacts through long-distance commercial exchange networks in the Postclassic Mesoamerican world system. In this paper, I perform a stylistic and typological analysis of metal artifacts and debris from lost-wax casting from recent excavations at Mayapan, with reference to previously excavated collections by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, DC. The distribution of metal artifacts suggests that metal objects were not sumptuary goods restricted to elites, but luxury goods availble to those who could afford them. I then compare Mayapan with other sites in the Postclassic Mesoamerican world system that were involved in the interregional distribution of metal artifacts. Although Mayapan did not have local sources of native metal or a longstanding traditions of metalworking, it was able to use its economic influence in the world system to obtain and create metal objects specific to its needs. When Bartolome´ Colon encountered a trading canoe off the coast of exchange and division of labor (Shannon 1989). Rather than assum- the Yucatan Peninsula in 1502 containing “copper axes and bells ing that economic, political and cultural boundaries overlap, which were used as currency” (Columbus 1959; Pin˜a Chan 1978: Wallerstein’s (1974:347–348) model differentiates among three 39), he was unaware that the artifacts were valuable commodities types of systems: (1) world empires, which are economically and with complex and intersecting economic, social, and ritual mean- politically unified; (2) world economies, which involve economic ings.
