Life in the Tributary Province of Xoconochco (2015)
Our work on Late Postclassic Xoconochco/Soconusco has been greatly influenced by research carried out by Frances Berdan, particularly her focus on the Codex Mendoza and other Aztec documents and her approach that integrates multiple disciplines.

More specifically, I examine what these data seem to tell us about how the Aztec conquest and the subsequent collection...
PIN7, a diachronic study of a specialized production in Eastern Soconusco (2017)

The ceramic fragments collected systematically across the entire site are used here as a material correlate to explore expressions of hierarchy. The characteristics of the ceramic collection and the methodology used to recover the materials provide an ideal setting to study spatial patterns of distribution and the concentration...
