" Urban Organization Through the Ages" (transdisciplinary project)
I am an archaeologist specializing in the Aztecs of central Mexico. My professional title is Professor of Anthropology in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (formerly known as the Department of Anthropology) at Arizona State University. I have directed fieldwork projects at Aztec sites in the Mexican state of Morelos and in the Toluca Valley, and I have published several books and numerous scholarly articles on this work.
My research focuses on Aztec social
and economic
organization, and on the comparative analysis of ancient urban societies. My theoretical and comparative interests derive from a
materialist, political-economy approach to ancient state societies. I
have published on topics of urbanism, imperialism, households, and
economic organization. Current projects
include assembly of the final publications on my Morelos excavations, fieldwork at Calixtlahuaca, and work on comparative urbanism.
