| My research now and again ranges across a wider area of northern Mesoamerica, but my fieldwork is primarily in the state of Jalisco, particularly in the Tequila valleys in the approximate center of the state map below. | ||
 |
Currently, this site focuses heavily on central Jalisco and on my own work. The site is intended, however, to become a center for information on the archaeology of Jalisco. Others working in the general region are invited to contact me about creating links to their own materials. Planned for March, 2004 - Session at the Society for American Archaeology meetings on Power, Social Organization, and Subsistence in the Teuchitlan Tradition of Central Jalisco: A First Attempt at a Synthesis |  |
