This innovative analysis of archaeological settlement patterns as a
guide to ancient political structure focuses on the Maya of
Southeastern Mexico. Working principally with data from the Classic
Period in the Rosario Valley, Dr de Montmollin relates problem
orientation and theory to themes with wide currency in political
anthropolgy. For archaeologists interested in complex societies,
the handling of the settlement evidence and the close attention
paid to bridging arguments provide valuable guidance on analysing a
multiscale settlement record when reconstructing political
structure. For Mayanists, the characterization of settlement and
political structure is unprecedented in its rigour and scope. The
Archaeology of Political Structure thus blends the particular
fascination of Maya archaeology with developments of more general
interest in anthropological archaeology to make a substantial
contribution to the practice and theory of settlement studies
within complex societies.
