Abstract

Abstract During the last decade, archaeological investigations carried out by the Mérida Region Archaeological Project through the National Institute of Anthropology and History have focused on the peripheral sites of the current municipality of Mérida. In this article, we will focus on the northeast section covering a polygon that has an area of 7.19 km2, where rural minor sites such as Oxmuul, Cuzam, and Polok Keej are located. This area was explored in various seasons as a result of archaeological salvage and rescue projects, carrying out archaeological prospecting with the aim of creating cartography, systematic excavations, and descriptive analysis of archaeological materials. One of the objectives was to understand and interpret the social organization of the ancient peripheral communities in relationship higher ranking sites such as T'ho and Dzibilchaltun. The results obtained are presented diachronically in order to explain the role that these sites played within the political economy of the region, which turns them into complex rural sites towards the end of the Classic period.

墨西哥尤卡坦州伊奇坎兹霍地区的农村社会复杂性

在过去的十年中，通过国家人类学和历史研究所进行的msamrida地区考古项目的考古调查主要集中在当前msamrida市的外围遗址。在本文中，我们将重点关注东北部分，该部分覆盖了一个面积为7.19平方公里的多边形，其中包括Oxmuul, Cuzam和Polok Keej等农村次要站点。由于考古打捞和救援项目，该地区在不同的季节进行了勘探，开展了考古勘探，目的是制作地图，系统挖掘和考古材料的描述性分析。其中一个目标是理解和解释古代周边社区在诸如T'ho和Dzibilchaltun等高级遗址中的社会组织。为了解释这些遗址在该地区的政治经济中所扮演的角色，所获得的结果是历时性的，这使得它们在古典时期结束时变成了复杂的农村遗址。

期刊介绍： Ancient Mesoamerica is the international forum for the method, theory, substance and interpretation of Mesoamerican archaeology, art history and ethnohistory. The journal publishes papers chiefly concerned with the Pre-Columbian archaeology of the Mesoamerican region, but also features articles from other disciplines including ethnohistory, historical archaeology and ethnoarchaeology. Topics covered include the origins of agriculture, the economic base of city states and empires, political organisation from the Formative through the Early Colonial periods, the development and function of early writing, and the use of iconography to reconstruct ancient religious beliefs and practices.
