Residential Patterns at Monte Alban, Oaxaca, Mexico | | Marcus C Winter
; | | Date: |
13 Dec 1974 | | Journal: | Science, 186 (4168), 981-987 | | Abstract: | Monte Alban was founded in period I (about 500 B.C.) probably by households from previously existing villages in the Valley of Oaxaca. There is some evidence for status variation in period I households, but more information is needed to determine its role in the early development of the city. During the millennium or more of urban growth at Monte Alban a change occurred in the organization of household space from an open outward-directed focus to a closed inward-directed one. This was accompanied by a formalization of household and interhousehold space and by a standardization in household sizes and burial treatment reflecting emergence of a social class hierarchy. These changes indicate development from a flexible to a highly structured society, which may be a general trend in urbanization. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid17843045 doi: 10.1126/science.186.4168.981 | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
