These investigations seek to elucidate community dynamics and corporate organization within the archaeological record of the region, and to examine the particular historical legacies of Formative ritual to later societies, such as the Aztecs, Toltecs, and Teotihuacanos. They also speak to the dramatic reconfiguration of central Mexico during its initial period of urbanization and state formation.
