This investigation provides a diachronic analysis of socio-spatial structure in Teotihuacan, the capital of a regional state that dominated much of Central Mexico during the first half-millennium AD. Spatially patterned variability in socio-economic status is a crucial feature of the social landscape of cities. It emerges from long-term processes of past social action and in turn structures and conditions future social action. It is thus an important line of evidence for investigating temporal and spatial features of urban social life.

520 $a This investigation provides a diachronic analysis of socio-spatial structure in Teotihuacan, the capital of a regional state that dominated much of Central Mexico during the first half-millennium AD. Spatially patterned variability in socio-economic status is a crucial feature of the social landscape of cities. It emerges from long-term processes of past social action and in turn structures and conditions future social action. It is thus an important line of evidence for investigating temporal and spatial features of urban social life.
520 $a While archaeology has the potential to bring a uniquely long-term perspective to such studies, the difficulty of obtaining detailed and extensive archaeological data means that investigations of the internal organization of ancient cities are rare. This study draws on artifacts recovered during a full-coverage survey of Teotihuacan in the 1960s that recovered around 900,000 ceramic objects from some 5,000 tracts. Quantitative and spatial statistical methods using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and other technology form the basis for parallel analyses of ceramic remains from the temporally consecutive Miccaotli and Tlamimilolpa phases. Evidence for wealth/status variability is assembled at three levels: individual collection tracts, encompassing neighbourhoods, and still-larger districts described as 'social areas.'
520 $a These investigations demonstrate that neighbourhoods at Teotihuacan were relatively heterogenous in socio-economic terms, particularly during the earlier Miccaotli phase. The internal diversity of neighbourhoods decreased a great deal over time, with households of different wealth/status levels becoming increasingly segregated. Concomitantly, social areas grew larger and more regular in form, with more salient boundaries.
520 $a Historical and social processes that appear to relate to these changes include the rapidity of initial settlement at Teotihuacan, a probable reduction over time in the importance of kin-based relationships in structuring social life, and heightened levels of residential mobility that accompanied the adoption of apartment compounds.
520 $a Increased spatial distance and reduced rates of contact between individuals from opposite ends of the socio-economic continuum would have modified perceptions held by ancient residents of Teotihuacan about available options for social action. These changes likely intensified incipient class differences and contributed to heightened levels of social tension in the city during later stages of occupation.
