This book presents a discussion of the culture history of ancient
West Mexico from the time of the first human inhabitants until the
last cultural developments that took place before the Spanish
invasion in the 16th century. The overall narrative is played out
within the context of the Mesoamerican ecumene; that is, the
universe of cultural and social interactions that coalesced into
one of the few pristine civilizations of the ancient world. The
book presents a long-overdue synthesis and update of West Mexican
archaeology aimed at scholars, students and the general public.
Ancient West Mexico in the Mesoamerican Ecumene is the first book
about West Mexican archaeology written by a single author. Another
unique feature of this book is that it follows a holistic approach
that includes data and perspectives from sociocultural
anthropology, ethnohistory, ethnoarchaeology, and general analogy
with many ancient cultures within the Mesoamerican ecumene and
beyond (including several of the Old World). The focus of interest
is the relationship between West Mexico and the rest of the
ecumene, and the role played by the ancient West Mexicans in
shaping the culture and history of the Mesoamerican universe.
Ancient West Mexico has often been portrayed as a ‘marginal’ or
‘underdeveloped’ area of Mesoamerica. This book shows that the
opposite is true. Indeed, Williams convincingly demonstrates that
West Mexico actually played a critical role in the cultural and
historical development of the Mesoamerican ecumene.
