Archaeological Interpretations of West Mexican Ceramic Art From the Late Preclassic Period: Three Figurine projects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2008
Abstract
Scholars of West Mexico generally rely on the ceramic figurine tradition found in shaft tombs for interpreting the prehistory of the Late Preclassic period. Three new projects on shaft-tomb ceramics seek to advance our understanding of the Late Formative culture and societies of this region. First, ceramic figures are examined for evidence of the ball game in West Mexico; second, for cultural information about domestic and community organization; and third, for ways to differentiate authentic figures from modern reproductions.
