Application to a theory of the origin of the State in Mesoamerica, is a book that as the author points out in the introduction, was forged in the Center of Archaeological Studies at the Colegio de Michoacán in La Piedad, during his sabbatical year that Dr. Gándara did there in 2007. During this period he invited William Sanders to give a seminar on the center of Mexico. While Sanders was there, Dr Gandara was able to interview him in depth on the subject matter. This interview provided Gándara with information that included was in the book, above all, Sanders' views on the theory raised in the 1970s in the light of the retrospective since 2007. It is worth noting that the author presents as an almost natural relationship which is actually surprising: precisely the relationship between the Philosophy of…

Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 155. First edition.In 1946 the first attempt to study settlement patterns in the Americas took place in the Viru Valley, led by Gordon Willey. Rather than examine individual settlement sites, Willey wanted to look at the valley as a whole and the way that each village interacted with the others. The study showed that villages were located in places which reflected their relationship with the wider landscape and their neighbours. The project emphasised the importance for archaeologists of viewing sites holistically and to take into account the economic, environmental, social and political factors acting on past societies. Willey's groundbreaking study stimulated the work of a number of subsequent archaeologists in the valley. From 1992-1998 Dr. Thomas A. Zoubek embarked on a study of…
