Abstract

The social and economic organization of obsidian procurement has been a topic of particular interest in southwestern archaeology as a result of recent work identifying and characterizing a number of sources throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. Recent studies have attempted to explain temporal and spatial variability of obsidian distribution in the larger contexts of regional exchange networks, socially bounded territories, and elite redistributive efforts. This study reviews the current state of research as reflected in three models. Patterns in obsidian source diversity and reduction stage data are assessed relative to model expectations and an analysis of obsidian acquisition and distribution. The likelihood of elite members of an increasingly formalized socioeconomic system playing a role in these processes should be considered, while at the same time noting that kin-based raw material procurement and ritual item mobilization may explain many of the obsidian patterns. The emerging perspective suggests that obsidian moved in a variety of spheres, concurrently serving a number of social and economic purposes. This study highlights the importance of modeling individual, nonlocal commodities before attempting to generate monolithic exchange models.

La organizatión económica-social de la adquisición de obsidiana ha sido un tópico de particular interés en la arqueología del Suroeste como resultado de la reciente identificatión y caracterización de numerosas fuentes en Arizona, Nuevo México, y México septentrional. Estudios recientes han intentado explicar la variabilidad espacial y temporal de la distributión de obsidiana en amplios contextos de redes de intercambio regionales, territorios limitados socialmente, y esfuerzos de redistributión de la élite. Este estudio presenta los resultados de una investigatión en progreso que se enfoca en conjuntos de varias ocupaciones del periodo Clásico en el sur de Arizona. Se describen los avances de esta investigatión, enfocando particularmente tres modelos que exploran posibles condiciones y mecanismos de circulatión de obsidiana. Se evalúan los patwnes de diversidad de fuentes y datos sobrefases de reductión en relatión con estos modelos. Se debe considerar elpapel que los miembros de la élite en un sistema socioeconómico de formalizatión creciente jugaron en estos procesos. Al mismo tiempo, es importante notar que la adquisición de materia prima por grupos de parentesco y la circulatión de artefactos rituales también puede explicar algunos patwnes de obsidiana. La obsidiana podría haber circulado en varias esferas sociales y servido diferentes propósitos sociales y económicos. Este estudio destaca la importancia de modelar ciertos bienes de intercambio individualmente antes de que se generen modelos monolíticos.
