Abstract

When starting this document it was decided to mark it for OCM codes (Outline of Cultural Materials) that date to the time period of 2600 BP to 1600 BP (600 BC-400 AD) or the Rosario phase through the Monte Albán IIIA phase. It was only when marking the chapter on Monte Albán IIIA that it was learned that this time period is considered to be part of the Classic Period. The reader is cautioned that the entire document has been marked for this additional time period. Kowalewski writes about the Valley of Oaxaca Settlement Pattern Project's complete and systematic survey of the entire Oaxaca valley. This document is a record of the information Kowalewski and others gathered in the field and their interpretations. The settlement patterns, land use, valley integration, mound placement, and site hierarchies are described by phases; one chapter discusses the author's general conclusions; and the appendices present the raw data. The final chapter presents the conclusions by interpreting the changes that occurred in the valley by breaking the time period into [i]longue duree[/i] cycles.
