      Exchange Systems in Prehistory 

      MAYA JADE: SOURCE LOCATION AND ANALYSIS11This research was carried out while Hammond was Leverhulme Research Fellow in New Worid Archaeology at the Centre of Latin American Studies, Cambridge University, and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, and Gazard was a member of King's College, Cambridge and the Cambridge University Statistical Laboratory. Hazelden's participation in the project was financed by a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research Inc. and Gazard's by a grant from Mrs. Gail Hollenbeck. Costs of irradiation were met by the Science Research Council. The authors express their individual and collective gratitude to these supporters and also to Jennifer M. Braithwaite, Dip. A.D. (Graphics), who drew the figures, and David L. Clarke, for good advice.

            Exchange Systems among the Ancient Maya

            Most studies of trade in the Maya area of Mesoamerica have been descriptive examinations of exchanged objects and have relied heavily on ethnohistoric sources. This paper, on the other hand, relies mainly on archaeological data and offers several hypotheses about the socio-political significance of intra- and inter-community exchange systems. It is proposed that in the relatively uniform environment of the Maya Lowlands, subsistence arti-facts and goods were generally exchanged within communities while prestige artifacts were exchanged between communities. This hypothesized situation is contrasted with the environmentally differentiated Mexican Highlands where subsistence items were traded widely. Following the theoretical leads of M. Coe, Webb, and Fried, we offer the hypothesis that prior to the introduction of foreign influences, the lack of differential access to basic resources among the ranked social groups of the Maya Lowlands did not stimulate the development of the state in this area.
