Abstract

The limited excavation of rural houses in the Mexican highlands has made it difficult to understand the structure of urban-rural economic relationships during the Classic period (A.D. 150 to 650), when many of the large cities at Teotihuacan, Cholula, and Monte Albán first developed. This paper examines economic consumption at Operation 7, a Late Classic rural residence located 11 km outside of the large center of Cholula, Puebla. The results show that Cholula was not the only, or even the primary, distribution center for goods consumed at Operation 7. Multiple procurement networks were operating during the Late Classic period to provision rural households with the goods they used. The recovery of a large number of imported ceramics and other goods with strong Teotihuacan affinities suggests integrated market networks, rather than solar market systems, operated to circulate goods throughout rural areas in Central Mexico. Comparative analysis of domestic assemblages is employed to identify differences in economic consumption that can be used to reconstruct the participation of rural households in regional distribution networks centered on their urban neighbors.

La limitada excavación de unidades habitacionales rurales en el Altiplano Central de México, ha hecho difícil comprender la estructura de las relaciones económicas urbano-rurales durante el período Clásico (150 a 650 d.C.), cuando se desarrollaron muchas de las primeras grandes ciudades en Teotihuacán, Cholula y Monte Albán. Este trabajo examina el consumo económico en la Operación 7, una residencia rural del Clásico Tardío localizada a 11 km del gran centro urbano de Cholula, Puebla. El material recuperado en la Operación 7 sugiere que el estudio del consumo económico ha sido subutilizado como perspectiva analítica para reconstruir la organización de redes de distribución económica prehispánicas, tanto a nivel doméstico como no doméstico. Aunque la Operación 7 se hallaba cerca de Cholula, los resultados muestran que ésta no era su único, y ni siquiera su principal centro de distribución de productos cerámicos. La recuperación de un gran número de cerámicas importadas, figurillas, braseros con tapa con decoración elaborada y candeleros con fuerte influencia teotihuacana, sugiere la existencia de una red de mercado integrada que distribuía una amplia gama de productos en las zonas rurales del centro de México. Esta red abasteció de bienes a los hogares rurales, lo cual resultó en una relación económica más estrecha de la Operación 7 con Teotihuacan, que con Cholula. Aunque la Operación 7 era una pequeña residencia rural, los materiales cerámicos y Uticos que se consumían allí dan una idea de los bienes que circulaban entre las zonas urbanas y rurales durante el periodo Clásico. Este estudio demuestra que el análisis comparativo de conjuntos domésticos puede ayudar a identificar diferencias en los patrones de consumo económico que resultan útiles en la reconstrucción de la participación de las unidades domesticas rurales en las redes de distribución regionales.
