Abstract

The occurrence of nonlocal objects, raw materials, and ideas in the southwestern United States (U.S. SW) has long been recognized as evidence of interaction between prehispanic peoples of this region and those of greater Mesoamerica. Although many archaeologists have analyzed the directionality and potential means by which these objects and concepts moved across the landscape, few have assessed the degree to which Mesoamerican practices and traditional assemblages remained intact as the artifacts and ideas moved farther from their places of origin. The current study analyzes the distribution and deposition of blue-green stone mosaics, a craft technology that was well established in Mesoamerica by the Late Preclassic period (300 BC–AD 250) and spread to the U.S. SW by the start of the Hohokam Pioneer period (AD 475). We assess the spatial distribution, contextual deposition, and morphology of mosaics at sites within Hohokam Canal System 2, located in the Phoenix Basin of Arizona. We use these data to infer mosaics’ social value and function within Hohokam social structure. Analyses suggest that, although the technology of mosaic making may have originated in Mesoamerica, the contexts and ways in which mosaics were used in the Hohokam regional system were decidedly Hohokam.

La aparición de objetos no locales, materias primas e ideas en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos (SO de EE. UU.) ha sido reconocida hace mucho tiempo como evidencia de interacción entre los pueblos prehispánicos de esta región y los de la Gran Mesoamérica. Aunque muchos arqueólogos han analizado la direccionalidad y los medios potenciales por los cuales estos objetos y conceptos se movieron a través del paisaje, pocos han evaluado el grado en que las prácticas y conjuntos tradicionales mesoamericanas permanecieron intactos a medida que los artefactos e ideas se alejaron de sus lugares de origen. Este estudio analiza la distribución y la deposición de mosaicos de piedra azul-verde, una tecnología artesanal que estaba bien establecida en la Gran Mesoamérica en el período Preclásico Tardío (300 aC-dC 250) y se extendió al SO de EE. UU al comienzo del Período Hohokam Pioneer (dC 475). Evaluamos la distribución espacial, la deposición contextual y la morfología de los mosaicos en sitios dentro del Canal Sistema 2 de los Hohokam, ubicados en el Phoenix Basin del centro de Arizona. Estos datos se usan para inferir el valor social y la función de los mosaicos dentro de la estructura social de Hohokam. Los análisis sugieren que, si bien la tecnología de fabricación de mosaicos puede haberse originado en Mesoamérica, los contextos y las formas en que se utilizaron los mosaicos en la región de Hohokam fueron decididamente Hohokam.
