Teotihuacan: A Social History of the Early Mexican Metropolis
By David Carballo
In this presentation I approach Teotihuacan through a lens of social history, by which I mean an emphasis on social institutions and the interactions of different social groups who inhabited the city or interacted with it within a broader sphere of influence. I focus on issues of urban daily life among diverse groups of Teotihuacanos, including neighborhood organization, craft production, governing institutions, and the city’s contemporary relevance as an example of a multiethnic, economically robust, and prestigious place that was the largest city in the Americas for centuries. Since 2012, investigations at the Tlajinga district, located in Teotihuacan’s southern periphery, have amassed a large database of architecture, artifacts, and other materials from which to compare non-elite domestic residences (apartment compounds) to those of local elites and public spaces of its neighborhood center.
