Disastrous strategies have resulted from values associated with colonization, market economies, property systems, resource extraction and production technologies, and the isolation of decision-makers from environmental consequences.

 @article{millhauser_2022, title={Islands in the Lake: Environment and Ethnohistory in Xochimilco, New Spain}, volume={53}, ISSN={["1530-9169"]}, DOI={10.1162/jinh_r_01855}, abstractNote={The canals and chinampas (raised fields) of Xochimilco are the last substantial remnant of the extraordinary wetland agricultural system that fed Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Mexica Empire, and Mexico City, the seat of power for the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Inscribed as a unesco World Heritage site in 1987, a portion of Xochimilco has enjoyed a degree of protection from development unparalleled in the region, but its complex and remarkable history has remained relatively unknown. In Islands in the Lake, Conway brings this rich history to light through a careful and comprehensive study of the Spanish and Nahuatl documents produced in and around Xochimilco from the 1540s to the 1790s.Islands in the Lake provides a detailed account of Xochimilco’s political and social organization, land tenure, demography, and economy during the colonial era. Conway argues that Xochimilco persisted in the ways that it did because “the lakes, and the ways local residents modified and used them, acted as a buffer against the disruptions of Spanish rule” (15). The first chapter establishes the ecological and political histories of Xochimilco, with close attention to the fifteenth-century origins of the chinampas and how local leaders adjusted to the demographic, economic, and ecological crises of the sixteenth century. The second chapter documents the conspicuous absence of outsiders among the chinampas in the sixteenth century, though the Xochimilca were far from isolated; they experimented with non-native crops and maintained strong ties to the markets in Mexico City. In the third chapter, Conway shows how canoes, causeways, and canals promoted commerce and supported Indigenous artisans, porters, inns, wharves, warehouses, and merchants, as well as resellers, thieves, and dealers in stolen goods.Chapters four and five focuses on how disease (for which the lakes offered no buffer) and increasing climate instability in the seventeenth century created conditions ripe for exploitation as a new generation of Nahua leaders sought to acquire and maintain power. Chapter six focuses on the eighteenth-century incursions into Xochimilco by Spanish hacienda owners who expanded their pastures into the lake and by engineers who blocked the lake to protect Mexico City from flooding. These disruptions of local hydrology combined with a period of particularly wet years to cause catastrophic flooding on the eve of Mexican independence. The final chapter focuses on the continuity of Nahuatl document production in Xochimilco and its eventually decline in tandem with the political, economic, and climate disruptions of the late eighteenth centuryIslands in the Lake is a valuable contribution to the history and ethnohistory of central Mexico that adds an important local perspective to patterns and processes that historians have documented at a regional scale. It benefits from Conway’s inclusion of recent insights from the findings of environmental history, climate science, and disease ecology, and it invites readers from disciplines other than history to pay attention. Archaeologists should see an opportunity to work more closely with historians of Indigenous Mexico. Although Conway uses archaeological sources to establish the Prehispanic roots of Xochimilco (mostly in the first half of the first chapter), future works should consult a rich and growing archaeological and bioarchaeological literature about the urban and rural communities of the sixteenth- to eighteenth-century Basin of Mexico.Critical historians will notice the nature of archival production in Xochimilco. For example, gender plays a prominent role in Chapters 2 through 4, in which Conway makes important points about how Indigenous women protected land through wills and testaments, brought revenue into the community as sellers in markets throughout the region, and used marriage alliances to maintain continuity of local leadership. Gendered, and maybe other, disparities of record keeping, are worth investigating (perhaps in conversations with historical archaeologists). Historical ecologists and political ecologists will find Conway’s environmental-history approach a welcome addition to their studies of the recursive relationships of humans and their environments in the Basin of Mexico and beyond.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY HISTORY}, author={Millhauser, John K.}, year={2022}, month={Sep}, pages={365–366} }

We begin with economic anthropology’s roots in the works of Mauss, Malinowski, and Polanyi before proceeding to the individual topics of money, debt, and finance and the ways in which they overlap in theory and practice. Archaeological research into these topics is of particular value because it expands our view of the social and political dynamics of economies beyond production, distribution, and consumption. The insights of economic anthropology and other social sciences can push archaeologists to look beyond material instruments to the effects of money, finance, and debt in the material world. When archaeologists recognize money, finance, and debt as socially enacted and socially transformative (just as they do for production, exchange, and consumption), they are able to study the origins of these fundamental components of human economies as well as their long, contentious, and dynamic histories. This paper showcases the contributions of the other papers assembled as part of a virtual special issue and calls on all archaeologists to examine economies of the past in new ways.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Baron, Joanne and Millhauser, John}, year={2021}, month={Jun} }

It presents archaeological and ethnohistoric evidence of saltmaking, finance, and technological change in the Basin of Mexico during the Aztec and Spanish empires. Studies of past technological change often leave unasked how people finance their adoption of innovations. The means of finance—surplus production, saving, debt, cost sharing, etc.—are applied in culturally and historically specific ways that have systemic and long-term consequences for adopters. Saltmakers’ widespread adoption of new technologies in the Late Postclassic (CE 1350–1521) was enabled by finance at the household scale. In the sixteenth century, Indigenous saltmakers adapted existing tools to manufacture new products, like saltpeter, for Spanish consumers without new financial arrangements. Eighteenth-century innovations in the production of saltpeter required equipment that was beyond the financial means of most Indigenous saltmakers. Nevertheless, I suggest that some saltmakers solved the problem and continued to produce salt and saltpeter by expanding their social relations of finance beyond their households. These findings show how finance operated in a non-Western, preindustrial context and in an economic sphere that was relatively independent of the political economies of states and empires.}, journal={Journal of Anthropological Archaeology}, author={Millhauser, J.K.}, year={2020} }

But if a person is a source of wealth, what happens when the person dies?

To address this question, we present the case of Oberlin Cemetery in Raleigh, North Carolina. The cemetery was the core of Oberlin Village, a freedperson's African American community founded in the mid‐nineteenth century. Today, development threatens historic resources surrounding the cemetery, but a community organization founded by descendants and neighbors has emerged to preserve and promote their heritage. We are a group of anthropologists, geologists, and historians who live and work near Oberlin Village and who collaborate to help this organization achieve its goals. Here we report how our efforts to document the cemetery's history have bolstered their advocacy and validated their claims to wealth in the people buried there.

Since that time, the basic concept of states and complex societies has been defined by rigid social stratification, extreme wealth inequality, and political centralization. However, recently, landscape approaches, household archaeology, city-states, and "alternative pathways to complexity" have begun to make inroads in developing a more robust approach to premodern states. Specifically, anthropological theory has advanced significantly with the incorporation of Collective Action, yet theoretical and empirically based studies of wealth inequality, social stratification, and the built environment in the archaeological literature are still limited. Therefore, in this paper, we seek to test the traditional definition of the state and complex societies using cases from Middle-Late Postclassic Highland Mexico (Central Mexico and Oaxaca), especially the case of Tlaxcallan. Using a comparative approach, we find that a stark division between public and private architecture and a compression of wealth inequality and social stratification, especially the absence of palaces, and a comparatively high degree of political centralization, marked the Tlaxcaltecan state. Accordingly, we conclude that theoretical approaches in archaeology must incorporate Collective Action Theory or other comparable approaches to effectively deal with real empirical variation in the past.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Fargher, Lane F. and Antorcha-Pedemonte, Ricardo R. and Heredia Espinoza, Verenice Y. and Blanton, Richard E. and Lopez Corral, Aurelio and Cook, Robert A. and Millhauser, John K. and Marino, Marc D. and Martinez Rojo, Iziar and Perez Alcantara, Ivonne and et al.}, year={2020}, month={Jun} }

Chapter 7 provides a discussion and quantitative analysis of Anyang burial rituals and their complex relations to the maintenance of the Shang ancestral hierarchy. Campbell notes that the similarities between burials across the socio-political hierarchy reveal shared practices and beliefs. There are, however, substantial differences in mortuary capital between the highest and lowest levels of this hierarchy, a disparity Campbell characterizes as ‘of gods and insects’ (p. 246). Chapter 8 is a review of the major arguments of the book. Campbell also argues again that the practices discussed in preceding chapters (war and sacrificial and burial rituals) were essential ‘technologies of pacification’ that maintained the Shang structure of authority and hierarchies of being (i.e. ‘gods and insects’). As there are many similar underlying themes in this book, a more expansive engagement with relational archaeology would likely have proven beneficial. Despite this, Campbell’s work is highly pertinent for both those wishing for a broad introduction to Shang archaeology and experts in the field. Campbell’s critical review of the dominant trends in Western scholarship on the Shang will prove especially helpful for those seeking a dynamic overview of this important early Bronze Age society. For experts who desire to push Shang archaeology forward within more rigorous theoretical and methodological frameworks and challenge the limiting assumptions related to the development of Shang society, Campbell provides a valuable node for an expansive project that has and will necessarily continue to cross-cut multiple disciplinary boundaries. In addition to the numerous ways our knowledge of Bronze Age China is challenged and expanded, one of Campbell’s strongest contributions here is a call to more extensive fieldwork and continued critical analyses of Shang society that will not necessarily be beholden to previous works as starting points. Campbell also makes it clear much work remains to be done on pre-Anyang societies and sites (e.g. Erlitou and Zhengzhou Shangcheng) related to their extent and the nature of their role in Bronze Age China. Critically examining the dynamics, extent and changing nature of the networks Campbell identifies would also be a very fruitful line of inquiry. This book, then, could serve as a valuable guide for students and professionals alike as to the state of the field and critical areas in need of further research.}, number={3}, journal={CAMBRIDGE ARCHAEOLOGICAL JOURNAL}, author={Millhauser, John K.}, year={2019}, month={Aug}, pages={546–548} }

David Graeber convincingly makes this case in his recent study of debt over the last five thousand years, but his focus on the Old World leaves open the question of whether similar contradictions emerged among the markets, cities, and states of the Americas. This article uses sixteenth-century documents to reconstruct the practices, institutions, and morality of debt in Nahua society during the Aztec Empire (AD 1428–1521) and show how debt was a double-edged risk in the Aztec economy. Debt played a constructive role, helping some households through hard times and carrying little of the negative moral valence commonly associated with it. However, debts could create new vulnerabilities when secured by selling family members into slavery. Exploitative debt, however, may have only become a problem during economic and environmental crises that made the risks of debt seem less than the risks of other ways to deal with hardship. Without careful attention to cultural context and historical circumstances, generalizations about debt's exploitative aspects are limited in their ability to explain debt's global extent and historical persistence.}, number={2}, journal={ECONOMIC ANTHROPOLOGY}, publisher={Wiley Online Library}, author={Millhauser, John K.}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={263–275} }

Here, we present the results of a pXRF study of obsidian artifacts from the Late Postclassic (AD 1350–1520) urban center of Tlaxcallan, Mexico. A recent survey and mapping project of Tlaxcallan provides the data to examine its obsidian supply. To assign sources to artifacts we applied pXRF to a sample of 45 artifacts from Tlaxcallan and 35 geological samples from sources of obsidian that we considered likely to have supplied Tlaxcallan. Contrary to expected patterns, our findings challenge the view that the Tlaxcalteca were embedded in economic networks centered in the Basin of Mexico and the Aztec Empire. Our results suggest that the population of Tlaxcallan procured obsidian from sources that fell outside of the major obsidian supply networks already documented in Mesoamerica.
