Abstract

This paper examines the degree of economic specialization and differentiation that occurred at the Moreland locus of La Cuidad. The distribution of different artifact classes are examined among the courtyard systems and the cemetery. Kisselburg focuses on manufacture of ceramic vessels, fiber processing of the agave plant, and manufacture of schist artifacts. She identifies trends and patterns between the southern courtyard and the two northern courtyards.
