Obsidian Craft Production in Ancient Central Mexico: Archaeological Research at Xochicalco - Rilegato
Hirth and others who presumably took part in the Xochicalco Lithics Project report findings from their field work in 1992 and 1993 and subsequent material analysis relating to the obsidian craft industry operating in Xochicalco, Morelos, between 650 and 900 AD. In addition to analyzing in detail obsidian craft production at one specific time and place in Mesoamerica, they seek to broaden the understanding of prehistoric craft production generally and its role in the life of everyday people.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. When the Spanish conquistadors first encountered the great commercial markets of central Mexico they were amazed by the richness and the diversity of products, as well as the level of organization. Ruling elites nurtured and supervised these markets, which were based on a complex division of labor within society, including a diversity of highly skilled craft specialists.The appearance of such craft specialists-who produced large quantities of goods for other households-represented a significant and fundamental change in the structure of prehistoric economies. In central Mexico one particularly important craft specialty was the making of obsidian prismatic blades, the cutting tools of choice.Unlike most other craft activities, obsidian craft production can be studied using archaeological techniques. Obsidian Craft Production in Ancient Central Mexico examines the obsidian craft industry found at the site of Xochicalco, Morelos, between A.D. 650 and 900, the Gobernador or Epiclassic period when independent city-states appeared throughout central Mexico to fill the political vacuum left by the decline of Teotihuacan. Because the demand for obsidian tools remained constant, author Kenneth Hirth contends that obsidian can serve as a general model for discussing craft production and economic organization on a broader theoretical level. An examination of the obsidian craft industry found at the site of Xochicalco, Morelos, between A.D. 650 and 900 when independent city-states appeared throughout central Mexico to fill the political vacuum left by the decline of Teotihuacan.
