Zapotec Civilization. How Urban Society Evolved in Mexico's Oaxaca Valley
Thames and Hudson, 1996. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 255. Zapotec Civilization describes the work of Kent Flannery, Joyce Marcus, and their colleagues over more than two decades in Mexico's Oaxaca Valley. Here the Zapotecs created one of the world's autochthonous civilizations, to set beside that of the Aztecs and the Maya in its achievements. At its peak 1,500 years ago, the Zapotec capital of Monte Alban - with its magnificent temples, tombs, ball-courts, and hieroglyphic inscriptions - dominated a society of over 100,000 people, with farflung territorial outposts. Yet a millennium earlier Monte Alban had been uninhabited, and the valley's population less than one tenth its later size. What caused this cultural florescence? Marcus and Flannery go back to the very beginnings of settlement in Oaxaca, 10,000 years ago, to provide the answers. They explicity set out to discover whether the contesting claims of evolutionary anthropologists stand up to the hard evidence in the field. In particular they counterbalance the paradigms of ecological determinism with the new insights of action theory - how individual human actions can themselves drive change. Many fascinating comparisons, not just with neighbouring cultures such as the Olmecs in Mexico but with societies across the world, from New Guinea to ancient Greece, illuminate the argument.
