Abstract: | Recent investigations and reconsideration of households in the Mesoamerican highlands illustrate the central role of domestic
spheres of interaction to the broader cultural dynamics of the region over four millennia. Methodological advances in the
analysis of past houses permit more sophisticated social reconstructions of the spaces and activities that constituted domestic
life for the diverse peoples of the region. Current studies highlight the economic interdependence and diversification of
households, their strategic flexibility in affiliation, the integrative ritual practices undertaken within domestic spaces,
the material correlates of prestige competition between households, and the manner in which households articulated with a
larger social universe. |
