This book examines from an archaeological perspective the social
and economic changes that took place in Yucatan, Mexico beginning
in the 18th century, as the region became increasingly articulated
within global networks of exchange. Of particular interest is the
formation and ultimate supremacy of the hacienda system in Yucatan
and the effect that new forms of capitalist organized production
had on native Maya social organization. Household archaeology and
spatial analysis conducted on the grounds of the former Hacienda
San Juan Bautista Tabi provides the data for analyzing the results
of this change on the daily lives and existence of those
individuals incorporated within the hacienda system. The use of
archaeological excavation to place the lives of local individuals
within the context of larger global processes makes this book a
worthy contribution to the study of archaeology.
