NAVARRO-CASTILLO, Marx. Production and Consumption of Plumbate at Miguel Alemán, the Conquista Campesina and Piñuela Complexes, Soconusco, Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.102-121. ISSN 2007-8900.

This research is concerned with craft production and consumption. The analysis of these two aspects brings important information for understanding how ancient state economies worked and for reconstructing ancient life ways at Miguel Alemán, the Conquista Campesina Complex and the Piñuela Complex. I carried out a quantitative analysis of the number of pots consumed and produced in the overall area and also in each household cluster. The richness of these ceramic assemblages provided information about hierarchical differences between the social groups and how these groups were distributed within the area studied.
