<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Politics and Pottery: Reassessing Prehistoric Market System Development in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico</SPAN></B><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Ceramic studies have been key to understanding the political and economic processes marking the rise of the Zapotec state. To date, however, our models of intra-regional integration and inter-regional contact - as well as the organization of craft production and market exchange - have been largely based on subjective measures of interaction, such as shared ceramic styles and technologies. This talk reports on current research at the OSU Archaeometry Lab to update our understanding of market system development in Oaxaca, using compositional analysis of pottery via INAA. This on-going work combines extensive field survey to document regional variability in clay composition with spatial modeling to “source” pottery to a specific place on the landscape, and to track its movement from producer to consumer during key phases of political development. These trace-element studies greatly enhance our understanding of the ancient Zapotec economy, by providing a robust means for monitoring both the spatial organization and intensity of exchange interactions. </SPAN></P>
