Local Responses to Regional Integration in Postclassic Mesoamerica
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
An increase in militarism and exchange in Postclassic Mesoamerica brought along greater political, economic, and cultural integration of the region. Expansionist states warred, conquered, and brought into their sway smaller polities undergoing different processes as boundaries were redefined; buffer zones were created, expanded, and retracted; and alliances shifted in response to a changing geopolitical landscape. This session explores the different local and regional responses to the greater political and economic integration that took place throughout Mesoamerica in the Late Postclassic.
