New perspectives on an important era in Mesoamerican history This
volume examines shifting social identities, lived experiences, and
networks of interaction in Mexico during the Mesoamerican Formative
period (2000 BCE-250 CE), an era that helped produce some of the
world's most renowned complex civilizations. The chapters offer
significant data, innovative methodologies, and novel perspectives
on Mexican archaeology. Using diverse and non-traditional
theoretical approaches, contributors discuss interregional
relationships and the exchange of ideas in contexts ranging from
the Gulf Coast Olmec region to the site of Tlatilco in Central
Mexico to the often-overlooked cultures of the far western states.
Their essays explore identity formation, cosmological perspectives,
the first hints of social complexity, the underpinnings of
Formative period economies, and the sensorial implications of
sociocultural change. Identities, Experience, and Change in Early
Mexican Villages is one of the first volumes to address the
entirety of this rich and complex era and region, offering a new
and holistic view. Through a wealth of exciting interpretations
from international senior and emerging scholars, this volume shows
the strong influence of cultural exchange as well as the compelling
individuality of local and regional contexts over two thousand
years of history.
