Formative Lifeways in Central Tlaxcala Vol. 1: Excavations, Ceramics, and Chronology
Submitted by admin on March 31, 2015 - 12:00amThe transition to the Formative in the relatively high-altitude study region of Tlaxcala, Mexico is later than it was in choice regions for early agriculture elsewhere in Mesoamerica. From 900 BCE, however, population growth and sociopolitical development were rapid. A central claim in the research presented here is that a macroregional perspective is essential for understanding the local Formative sequence.
