This grant permits Dr. Hodge to analyze ceramic mateials from                   372 Valley of Mexico sites which date to the Aztec period.  She                 will divide the sample into "Early" and "Late" Aztec periods and                then study diagnostic decorated sherds to compare their                         distribution across sites.  By examining shared elements between                sites and setting these relationships into a geographical                       context, it should be possible to determine patterns of site                    interaction and show how these changed over time.                                                                                                               Documentary sources describe the overall organization of the                    Aztec empire but provide few details about the effects of the                   empire on local economic systems.  This project will investigate                the organization of production and distribution of utilitarian                  goods.  Sites and polities participating in the same ceramic                    distribution systems will be mapped and patterns of exchange                    delineated.  Dr. Hodge will determine the relationship of Early                 Aztec political boundaries to ceramic distribution systems and                  evaluate changes in existing economic systems that occurred as                  the valley became politically unified by the Aztec empire.                                                                                                      This research is important because it sheds light on the                        interaction between local economic and political factors in the                 rise of complex civilations.  It will increase our understanding                of how "simple" state-level societies develop and function and                  how economic systems change as political power is centralized.                  The data may help explain how some third world countries function               today.
