Mobility and Migration in Ancient Mesoamerican Cities, Arnauld M. Charlotte, Beekman Christopher, Pereira Grйgory

In a series of data-rich chapters that address specific evidence for movement in their respective study areas, an international group of scholars assess mobility through the isotopic and demographic analysis of human remains, stratigraphic identification of gaps in occupation, and local intensification of water capture in the Maya lowlands. Others examine migration through the integration of historic and archaeological evidence in Michoac n and Yucat n and by registering how daily life changed in response to the influx of new people in the Basin of Mexico.

Offering a range of critical insights into the vital and under-studied role that mobility and migration played in complex agrarian societies, Mobility and Migration in Ancient Mesoamerican Cities will be of value to Mesoamericanist archaeologists, ethnohistorians, and bioarchaeologists and to any scholars working on complex societies.
