AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper describes in detail the extensive network of relationships, both direct and indirect, that the people from Teotihuacan have established with many peoples in other parts of Middle America, during the middle centuries of the first millennium AD (p. 198). In the discussion of this theme, Millon presents data on the Teotihuacan apartment compound; status and stratification; city, region and their cultural resources; economy and polity; the Teotihuacan hinterlands; craft production; the Teotihuacan domain; polity, religion and ideology; and the destruction of the city and the collapse of the state.
