Ceramics and Society within the Late Classic Motul de San José Polity: A Multidisciplinary Perspective (2017)
Over the past 15 years, Late Classic ceramics from Motul de San José and surrounding sites in the Central Petén Lakes area have been subjected to a variety of technical analyses. Modal and petrographic analyses of ceramics from sites throughout the Motul area have been used to explore intra-polity patterns of production and exchange for both elite and mundane vessels. At the same time, Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) has been conducted on sherds from Motul to define production...
Classifying Classic Period Ceramics from Azcapotzalco: A Comparison of INAA and Petrography (2016)
This pilot project used petrographic analysis to examine fifteen Classic Period sherds from the site of Azcapotzalco, Distrito Federal, Mexico. These sherds had already undergone instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), which separated the sherds into two chemical groups--Azcapotzalco-B and Tenochtitlan--and left one-third of the sherds unassigned. This project aimed to compare the INAA results with results obtained through the visual analysis of the microstructure of the sherds and...
Kern River 2003 Expansion Project, Utah - Volume III: Prehistoric Excavated Sites and Discoveries, Part 6 (2005)
The Kern River 2003 Expansion Project consisted of the installation of a natural gas pipeline from near Opal, Wyoming to a terminus in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project was an expansion of the existing 36-inch diameter pipeline through the construction of 717 miles of additional 36 and 42 inch pipeline loops, several new compressor stations, and modifications to existing compressor stations, meter stations and various other supporting facilities. Cultural resources along the...
The Politics of Commerce: Aztec Pottery Production and Exchange in the Basin of Mexico, A.D. 1200-1650 (2006)
The relationships between market and political institutions have varied in different times and places, but no market system was (or is) devoid of political involvement. The contrasting approaches of the Aztec empire and Spanish colonial regime to the Basin of Mexico market system are instructive about the ways that commercial agents (producers, traders) respond to “top-down” pressures from state elites to steer and direct the commercial economy to their political advantage. The results of this...
