The Valley of Oaxaca was unified under the rule of Monte Alb n
until its collapse around AD 800. Using findings from John
Paddock's long-term excavations at Lambityeco from 1961 to 1976,
Michael Lind and Javier Urcid examine the political and social
organization of the ancient community during the Xoo Phase (Late
Classic period).
Focusing on change within this single archaeological period rather
than between time periods, The Lords of Lambityeco traces the
changing political relationships between Lambityeco and Monte Alb n
that led to the fall of the Zapotec state. Using detailed analysis
of elite and common houses, tombs, and associated artifacts, the
authors demonstrate increased political control by Monte Alb n over
Lambityeco prior to the abandonment of both settlements.
Lambityeco is the most thoroughly researched Classic period site in
the valley after Monte Alb n, but only a small number of summary
articles have been published about this important locale. This, in
combination with Lambityeco's status as a secondary center--one
that allows for greater understanding of core and periphery
dynamics in the Monte Alb n state--makes The Lords of Lambityeco a
welcome and significant contribution to the literature on ancient
Mesoamerica.
