Joyce\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has a Ph.D. from Rutgers University and has carried out field research in Oaxaca since 1986. His current research interests include social theory in archaeology, human ecology, and the origins, development, and collapse of complex societies in Mesoamerica.  \u003ci\u003eMixtecs, Zapotecs, and Chatinos: Ancient Peoples of Southern Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e examines the history of the rich and complex societies that arose and flourished in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Shortly after its founding as a hilltop epicenter of Zapotec culture in about 500 bc, Monte Albán became what is widely considered to be the first city in the Highlands of Mexico. Yet between 300 bc and ad 800, many other powerful urban polities developed in the disparate geographic regions surrounding the Valley of Oaxaca, including in the highland valleys of the Mixteca and lower Río Verde Valley along the Pacific Coast. By drawing upon the most recent archaeological, ethnographic, epigraphic, linguistic, and iconographic evidence, \u003ci\u003eMixtecs, Zapotecs, and Chatinos\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the lengthy, complex strands of historical and cultural interactions woven among the diverse pre-Hispanic societies of Oaxaca. Along with comparing patterns in the settlement, art, architecture, and writing that developed in these regions, Joyce also uses contemporary social theory to challenge previous approaches and address many key problems in the archaeology of the Americas such as the rise and fall of civilizations and the role of religion and ideology in political control.   \u003cp\u003eInformed by thoughtful analysis of recent evidence, anthropological breakthroughs, and ongoing fieldwork, \u003ci\u003eMixtecs, Zapotecs, and Chatinos\u003c\/i\u003e will add clarity to the debates surrounding ancient Mesoamerican civilizations.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"A great read!
