Description: Focusing on change within this single archaeological period rather than between time periods, The Lords of Lambityeco traces the changing political relationships between Lambityeco and Monte Albán that led to the fall of the Zapotec state. Using detailed analysis of elite and common houses, tombs, and associated artifacts, the authors demonstrate increased political control by Monte Albán over Lambityeco prior to the abandonment of both settlements.
Review Quotes: "The definitive volume of this Late Classic site.... an important contribution to Oaxaca archaeology and to understanding Monte Albán at its peak and during its demise."
