Description
Summary:In this paper we show the results from an initial study on the distribution of pre-Hispanic settlements in the landscape of the Río Verde-San Pedro Basin, Aguascalientes. The investigations resulted in an inventory of 24 settlements whose data were incorporated into a Geographic Information System (gis). With the capture of variables in the gis, we were able to make preliminary distinctions about the degree of hierarchy and integration between these settlements. With this study we expect to contribute to the discussion of the different rates of growth and interaction that northern Mesoamerican societies might have experienced during Epiclassic.
