Ballcourts, competitive games, and the emergence of complex societyHill, Warren D. 05 1900 (has links)
The processes that accompany the transition to social and political inequality have perplexed
archeologists in their attempts to explain the emergence of complex society. Over the past
decade, archaeological excavations in the Mazatan region of Chiapas, Mexico, has yielded
new information on the processes surrounding this social and political transformation. Most
recently, the earliest known ballcourt was discovered at the site of Paso de la Amada in the
Mazatan region. This ballcourt predates all other known ballcourts by more than 500 years.
For over 2500 years, ballcourts and the associated ballgame formed an integral part of
religious, social, and political life of Mesoamerican complex societies. The tremendous
success of the ballgame lies in its ability to act as a medium of social and political integration
while simultaneously encouraging intense rivalry. This dissertation uses ballcourts and
competitive games to address the larger question of how social and political inequality
evolves. Using architectural, artifactual, and settlement pattern data, I argue that an emerging
complex society was involved in the construction and use of the ballcourt at Paso de la
Amada. I suggest that elites sponsored the ballcourt construction, enabling them to expand
their regional networks and enhance their own social positions. I present evidence to support
these claims, and review several existing models for the emergence of complex society in
light of this discovery. I conclude that competitive games and gaming facilities, such as
ballcourts, played a crucial role in the emergence of complex society in Mesoamerica and
have significant implications for how this process is modeled.

THE PALEOECOLOGY OF THE NORTHERN FRONTIER OF MESOAMERICA (POLLEN, MEXICO, ARCHAEOLOGY).BROWN, ROY BERNARD. January 1984 (has links)
While the archaeology of the Northern Frontier of Mesoamerica is poorly understood, Pedro Armillas' hypothesis that climatically induced environmental change was the limiting factor for cultural change has become the ruling theory. In order to test this hypothesis original lacustrine pollen profiles were compared with a detailed inspection of the known archaeological record and the previously published paleoecological record. The archaeological evidence suggests that there was a dense human occupation in the northern reaches of Mesoamerica between about AD 600-900. The first indications of human settlements are related to the Chupicuaro culture that reached its apogee about 2000 years ago located along the Rio Lerma. A rustic variant of the Chupicuaro culture spread north and is associated with scattered hamlets. About AD 600 the sedentary population expanded considerably in conjunction with the development of regional centers and the Coyotlatelco red-on-buff ceramic tradition. This expansion can be seen all along the Northern Frontier of Mesoamerica from Alta Vista south to Tula. Between AD 900-1000 there was a dramatic change in settlement patterns and by about AD 1000 most of the northern reaches of Mesoamerica were once again under the control of semi-nomadic hunters and gatherers. A suite of four cores was collected in a transect that crosses the Northern Frontier of Mesoamerica. The goal of selecting sites that minimized human impact was not altogether successful since these cores identify the impact of agriculture. Within the limits of the dating and material available, the pollen profiles from these cores suggest an environmental change between AD 1000 and 1500. From the data available it is not clear if this change, or changes, was the result of changes in human settlement patterns or climatic change. As such Armillas' hypothesis remains unproven.
