Laguna de los Cerros:
A Terminal Classic Period Capital in the Southern Mexican Gulf Coast

Comments

The fidelity of our understanding regarding the populational development, depends on the quality of the ceramic sequences used to generate it. The issue of chronology, together with the prevailing poor state of preservation of the ceramics involved, affect the way in which such development may be understood. Fortunately, chronologies in neighboring areas have been refined (for instance Pool 1990, 1995; Stark 1989, 1995, 2001; Daneels 2002), and they represent a major comparative support for the present study. Upon completion of this research, we shall hopefully be able to provide helpful information to revert the situation that Stark and Arnold (1997:28) have defined as the ignorance of local courses of change in different areas of the Gulf Coast.
