In this work the author focuses on the nature of the political
organization of the lower-level centres of the Early Classic Period
(A.D. 200- 500) in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, Mexico. A previous
comparative analysis of architectural arrangements at secondary
centers between the Valley of Oaxaca and the Mixteca Alta indicated
that single plaza groups were the major form of public
architecture. The focus of the research is on four secondary
centres of the Mixteca Alta. Using intensive site survey and
systematic random collection as the main methods of data recovery,
the author has collected artefacts over whole site areas in
relation to public buildings. By comparing the distribution of
various artefactcategories within the site limits, including costly
goods, in relation to zones of the site containing public
architecture, the author evaluates the degree of political
centralization.
