Urbanization is a phenomenon that brings into focus a range of
topics of broad interest to scholars. It is one of the central,
enduring interests of anthropological archaeology. Because
urbanization is a transformational process, it changes the
relationships between social and cultural variables such as
demography, economy, politics, and ideology. As one of a handful of
cases in the ancient world where cities developed independently,
Mesoamerica should play a major role in the global, comparative
analysis of first-generation cities and urbanism in general. Yet
most research focuses on later manifestations of urbanism in
Mesoamerica, thereby perpetuating the fallacy that Mesoamerican
cities developed relatively late in comparison to urban centers in
the rest of the world. This volume presents new data, case studies,
and models for approaching the subject of early Mesoamerican
cities. It demonstrates how the study of urbanism in Mesoamerica,
and all ancient civilizations, is entering a new and dynamic phase
of scholarship.
