“…Household archaeology in the region has greatly revised this early view by demonstrating a varied array of diversified work pursuits at the residential group and community scales. Larger scale local specializations indicate community or polity-level emphases on opportunities to harvest, acquire, and manufacture goods desired by others, as observed at Colha Hester 1983, 1991), and at coastal sites (Andrews 1980(Andrews , 1983Andrews and Mock 2002;Kepecs 2003;Mock 1994;McKillop 1995McKillop , 1996McKillop , 2002McKillop and Aoyama 2018;Valdez and Mock 1991).
