Preceramic Mesoamerica delivers cutting-edge research on the
Mesoamerican Paleoindian and Archaic periods. The chapters address
a series of fundamental questions in American archaeology including
the peopling of the Americas, human adaptations to late glacial
landscapes, the Neolithic transition, and the origins of sedentism
and early village life. This volume presents innovative and
previously unpublished research on the Paleoindian and Archaic
periods and evaluates current models in light of new findings.
Examples include breakthroughs in dating Mesoamerica's earliest
sites and their implications for models of hemispheric
colonization; the transition to postglacial patterns of settlement
and subsistence; divergent pathways to initial sedentism; the
possibility of Archaic-period monumentality; changing patterns of
interregional exchange and interaction; and debates surrounding the
origins of agriculture, ceramics, and full-time village life. The
volume provides a new perspective on the Mesoamerican Preceramic
for students and scholars in archaeology, anthropology, and
history. Readers will come to understand how the Preceramic
contributed to the emergence of the cultural traditions that
anthropologists recognize as Mesoamerica.
