Mesoamerica has become one of the world's most important areas for
research into the emergence of complex human societies. Between
10,000 years ago and the arrival of the Spanish in 1521, some of
the most significant changes in the evolution of human societies
occurred. These included the emergence of agriculture and sedentary
villages, the growth of centralized governments (chiefdoms and
states), and the rise of market systems, cities, and highly
stratified social systems. In the 1970s and 1980s a number of
ambitious research efforts produced exciting data on culture change
in Mesoamerica. In this revised and updated 1993 edition of a book
first published in 1981, the authors present a synthesis of
Mesoamerican prehistory, focusing on three of its most intensively
studied regions, the Valleys of Oaxaca and Mexico and the Maya
lowlands. An original framework of ideas is developed to explain
long-term change in complex societies.
