Abstract

The author's earlier thoughts about Mesoamerican and Peruvian horizon styles and regional stylistic diversity have been given new meaning by the concepts of “corporate” and “exclusionary” states as these have been formulated by R. E. Blanton and colleagues. Their synthesis should open the way for further dialogue concerning the processes of state formation as these can be observed in the archaeological record.

Resumen

Resumen

Las consideraciones originales del autor en cuanto a los estilos de los horizontes culturales en Mesoamérica y el Perú, y la diversidad de estilos regionales, han sido redimensionadas en su significado por R. E. Blanton y sus colegas en cuanto a los conceptos de estados “corporativos” y “exclusionistas.” Su síntesis debe abrir paso hacia diálogos más profundos sobre los procesos de formación de los estados, tal como pueden ser observados en el registro arqueológico.
