Draws on specific, archaeological data drawn from households in the Yucatan to reveal insights into the daily lives of historical peoples Explores the origin of the Hacienda system in the Yucatan from an archaeological perspective Uses the Annales school concept of total history to relate the archaeological data of the individual to larger, regional and global historical trends Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

This book examines from an archaeological perspective the social and economic changes that took place in Yucatán, Mexico beginning in the 18th century, as the region became increasingly articulated within global networks of exchange. Of particular interest is the formation and ultimate supremacy of the hacienda system in Yucatán and the effect that new forms of capitalist organized production had on native Maya social organization. Household archaeology and spatial analysis conducted on the grounds of the former Hacienda San Juan Bautista Tabi provides the data for analyzing the results of this change on the daily lives and existence of those individuals incorporated within the hacienda system. The use of archaeological excavation to place the lives of local individuals within the context of larger global processes makes this book a worthy contribution to the study of archaeology.
