Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Pre-History of Western Mexico unveils the rich and dynamic cultural trajectory of a region long overshadowed in Mesoamerican studies. Stretching from the first Paleoindian hunters to the upheavals of Spanish conquest, this pioneering work integrates fifteen chapters of original research to demonstrate that Western Mexico was not a peripheral backwater but a crucible of technological innovation, alternative social organization, and enduring cultural traditions.Drawing on decades of fieldwork-most notably the Turquoise Project in Jalisco and Nayarit-and the collaborative paradigms developed by Pedro Armillas García, Phil C. Weigand, and Garman Harbottle, this study employs a philosophical anthropological framework that marries phenomenological insight with rigorous archaeological and ethnohistoric evidence. From detailed analysis of Archaic foraging systems and the transformative shaft-tomb mortuary complexes, through the rise of circular ceremonial centers at Los Guachimontones, to the region's mastery of obsidian, turquoise trade networks, and pre-Columbian copper and bronze metallurgy, each chapter weaves environmental context, material culture, and indigenous cosmologies into a coherent narrative of human creativity.Central to the volume is the concept of circular hierarchy-a heterarchical governance model that distributed authority through lineage councils and ritual networks, enabling resilient political institutions and sustainable agricultural strategies over two millennia. Comparative chapters situate Western Mexico alongside contemporaneous civilizations in Mesopotamia, Crete, the American Southwest, and the Andes, revealing universal patterns of cultural evolution.…
