AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The Polvorón phase has generated debate among archaeologists because of questions about the characteristics used to define the phase and its chronological placement. A review of dates associated with the Civano and Polvorón phases leads to the conclusion that temporal overlap exists between the two. A focus on the processes of population movement, aggregation, and decline through the late Classic period and its attendant effects on the archaeological record provides a solution as to why two seemingly different cultural expressions would occur at the same time. Recognition of variability during the late Classic period is conducive to visualizing the changing cultural milieu (p. 287),
