This research examines how people use domestic goods to construct and express their social identities. Most archaeological approaches assume that people use symbols of their wealth or power, such as elaborate burials, architecture, and prestige items, to mark high status; however, social identity is also expressed in domestic activities. When archaeologists establish a theoretical link between status differentiation and domestic activities, status emerges as a more flexible and constantly negotiated phenomenon.

520 $a This research examines how people use domestic goods to construct and express their social identities. Most archaeological approaches assume that people use symbols of their wealth or power, such as elaborate burials, architecture, and prestige items, to mark high status; however, social identity is also expressed in domestic activities. When archaeologists establish a theoretical link between status differentiation and domestic activities, status emerges as a more flexible and constantly negotiated phenomenon.
520 $a This approach is particularly applicable to the Malpaso Valley, Zacatecas, Mexico, where architectural and stylistic evidence suggests that the prehispanic occupation was part of the Mesoamerican cultural tradition, yet some symbolic aspects of social identity do not conform to models derived from the Mesoamerican core. In contrast to most other Mesoamerican societies, the Malpaso Valley elite lacked prestige items and did not have obviously distinct forms of burial treatment. In this study, as an alternative to traditional methods, household-level data are used to explore expressions of status and how status influenced food consumption, presentation, and preparation.
520 $a Macrobotanical remains, food preparation tools, and serving vessels from midden contexts at three sites, each representing one of three settlement tiers, provide the basis for evaluating three interrelated propositions. Starting with the premise that foods manifest both the unconscious practices and the active strategies of the elite, it is expected that the elite were less involved in domestic chores than the non-elite, consumed higher value foods, and had access to the highest quality staple foods.
520 $a Results demonstrate that, when analyzed together, there is a strong correlation between patterns of food preparation and consumption and traditional correlates of status, such as site location, distance from the site core, and frequencies of high value artifacts. However, status in the Malpaso Valley was also multifaceted and not completely inferable from traditional status measures alone. For example, variability in the frequency of food preparation debris among middens suggests that there may have been two types of elite, distinguished by the degree to which they were involved in food preparation. The Malpaso Valley example demonstrates the complexity involved in the formation of social identity and the archaeological visibility of its manifestation in everyday life.
