  • Summary

    Evidence of status competition in the US Southwest is subtle and often devoid of material excess, pushing archaeologists to challenge the ways in which they think about and search for social differences. Using data from the large Mimbres site of Galaz, we focus on the concept of antecedence, a form of social status derived from being viewed as a first-comer or the descendant of first-comers. Our results suggest that while archaeology can offer insights into status and consumption in the ancient past, broadening our views of what is possible, we must be cautious in applying those insights directly to the contemporary world.
