The Storied Landscape of Macuilxóchitl

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Checking the Pulse II: Current Research in Oaxaca Part 2" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

During archaeological excavations I directed on the lands of San Mateo Macuilxóchitl in Oaxaca México, members of the community shared several narratives with me about the mountains surrounding their village. These stories intertwined myth and history to convey the special connection between the people and place. In this paper, I will discuss how these narratives serve as a theoretical basis for understanding archaeological features that we surveyed and excavated.
