The Neighborhood as a Social and Spatial Unit in Mesoamerican Cities
Recent realizations that prehispanic cities in Mesoamerica were fundamentally different from western cities of the same period have led to increasing examination of the neighborhood as an intermediate unit at the heart of prehispanic urbanization. This book addresses the subject of neighborhoods in archaeology as analytical units between households and whole settlements. The contributions gathered here provide fieldwork data to document the existence of sociopolitically distinct neighborhoods within ancient Mesoamerican settlements, building upon recent advances in multi-scale archaeological studies of these communities. Chapters illustrate the cultural variation across Mesoamerica, includin...
Building an Archaeology of Maya Urbanism
Building an Archaeology of Maya Urbanism tears down entrenched misconceptions of Maya cities to build a new archaeology of Maya urbanism by highlighting the residential dynamics that underwrote one of the most famous and debated civilizations of the ancient Americas. Exploring the diverse yet interrelated agents and processes that modified Maya urban landscapes over time, this volume highlights the adaptive flexibility of urbanization in the tropical Maya lowlands. Integrating recent lidar survey data with more traditional excavation and artifact-based archaeological practices, chapters in this volume offer broadened perspectives on the patterns of Maya urban design and planning by viewing b...

The Evolution of Social Institutions
This book presents a novel and innovative approach to the study of social evolution using case studies from the Old and the New World, from prehistory to the present. This approach is based on examining social evolution through the evolution of social institutions. Evolution is defined as the process of structural change. Within this framework the society, or culture, is seen as a system composed of a vast number of social institutions that are constantly interacting and changing. As a result, the structure of society as a whole is also evolving and changing. The authors posit that the combination of evolving social institutions explains the non-linear character of social evolution and that ...
Les Mayas
Parmi les grandes civilisations préhispaniques, les Mayas jouissent d’une popularité particulière, liée notamment au défi scientifique que représente la connaissance de ces cultures plusieurs fois millénaires. Des « cités perdues » mises à jour dans la jungle tropicale par les explorateurs du XIXe siècle, aux vestiges archéologiques que la télédétection découvre encore sous l’épais manteau végétal, en passant par les débats sur le supposé «effondrement » ou le déchiffrement d’un système d’écriture complexe, l’histoire et l’archéologie des anciens Mayas n’ont cessé de fabriquer du « mystère » et suscitent l’intérêt bien au-delà des cercles sa...
