Advances in World-Systems Analysis in Mesoamerica

Summary

This is an abstract from the "World-Systems and Globalization in Archaeology: Assessing Models of Intersocietal Connections 50 Years since Wallerstein’s “The Modern World-System”" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

With the refinement of world-systems analysis into the nested network model (i.e., bulk goods, political/military, prestige goods, and information), Chase-Dunn and Hall (1997) have proposed a research strategy that is applicable to ancient processes of globalization. From the vantage of West Mexico, this presentation will operationalize the model and show material culture patterns that shed light on the nature and impact of cores (Teotihuacan and Tula) on semiperipheries and peripheries. The period from AD 200–1200 will be examined using data from Central Mexico across the expanse of West Mexico and into the NW/SW.
