In this book, Robert M. Rosenswig proposes that we understand Early Formative Mesoamerica as an archipelago of complex societies that interacted with one another over long distances and that were separated by less sedentary peoples. These early "islands" of culture shared an Olmec artistic aesthetic, beginning approximately 1250 BCE (uncalibrated), that first defined Mesoamerica as an area of culture. Rosenswig frames the Olmec world from the perspective of the Soconusco area of Pacific Chiapas and Guatemala. The disagreements about Early Formative society that have raged over the past thirty years focus on the nature of interregional interaction between San Lorenzo and other Early Formative regions. He evaluates these debates from a fresh theoretical perspective and integrates new data into an assessment of Soconusco society before, during and after the apogee of the San Lorenzo polity."--BOOK JACKET. 000438458 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438458 650_0 $$aOlmecs$$xHistory. 000438458 650_0 $$aOlmecs$$xAntiquities. 000438458 651_0 $$aSoconusco Region (Mexico)$$xAntiquities. 000438458 651_0 $$aMexico$$xCivilization$$xIndian influences. 000438458 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRosenswig, Robert M.$$tBeginnings of Mesoamerican civilization.$$dCambridge, England ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2010$$z9780521111027$$w(DLC) 2009024177$$w(OCoLC)402542556 000438458 8520_ $$bacq 000438458 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438458 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=487337$$zOnline Access 000438458 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438458$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438458 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438458 980__ $$aBIB 000438458 982__ $$aEbook 000438458 983__ $$aOnline
