Mesoamerican Elites An Archaeological Assessment

In Mesoamerican Elites, Diane Z. Chase and Arlen F. Chase present a wide variety of essays, all of which evaluate current archaeological knowledge of the privileged ruling classes, or elites, in Mesoamerica. Some experts argue that Mesoamerican societies consisted only of elites and peasants, while others argue that considerable intermediate social levels also existed. In light of such diverse opinions, this volume addresses problems in the interpretation of archaeological evidence regarding ancient Mesoamerican social structure.Chase, Diane Z. is the author of 'Mesoamerican Elites An Archaeological Assessment' with ISBN 9780806135427 and ISBN 0806135425.
