{"product_id":"origins-of-the-uu-stephen-a-kowalewski-9781607321033","title":"Origins of the ﾑuu: Archaeology in the Mixteca Alta, Mexico","description":"Combining older findings with new data on 1,000 previously undescribed archaeological sites, \u003ci\u003eOrigins of the ﾑuu \u003c\/i\u003epresents the cultural evolution of the Mixteca Alta in an up-to-date chronological framework.\u003cp\u003eThe u - the kingdoms of the famous Mixtec codices - are traced back through the Postclassic and Classic periods to their beginnings in the first states of the Terminal Formative, revealing their origin, evolution, and persistence through two cycles of growth and collapse. Challenging assumptions that the Mixtec were peripheral to better-known peoples such as the Aztecs or Maya, the book asserts that the u were a major demographic and economic power in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlder explanations of multiregional or macroregional systems often portrayed civilizations as rising in a cradle or hearth and spreading outward. New macroregional studies show that civilizations are products of more complex interactions between regions, in which peripheries are not simply shaped by cores but by their interactions with multiple societies at varying distances from major centers. \u003ci\u003eOrigins of the ﾑuu\u003c\/i\u003e is a significant contribution to this emerging area of archaeological research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen a.
