本文提供了索诺拉州东部普通和稀有文物类别的出处数据，以修正对史前晚期墨西哥西北部政治经济的解释。先前的研究人员认为，长途交换主要是精英活动，用于创造经济财富，作为政治崛起的手段。该分析中提供的数据与之前的模型相矛盾，并表明社会各阶层出于不同的原因利用交换来建立关系。有抱负的领导人很少利用不平等的获取地区商品的机会来吸引当地支持者。没有证据表明从中美洲引进的外来物体或象征主义是有抱负的领导者战略的组成部分。平民家庭与不太可能同时遭受社会掠夺的群体交换平凡的手工艺品来储存社会资本。总体而言，交易所和其他数据显示了一个相当分裂的格局，几乎没有精英办公室的迹象。
This paper presents provenance data on mundane and rare artifact classes from eastern Sonora in order to revise interpretations of the political economy of late prehistoric Northwest Mexico. Previous researchers have argued that long-distance exchange was a predominantly elite activity utilized to generate economic wealth as a means to political ascendance. Data presented in this analysis contradict these previous models and indicate that all segments of society employed exchange to forge relationships for diverse reasons. Aspiring leaders rarely utilized unequal access to regionally acquired goods to attract local supporters. There is no evidence that foreign objects or symbolism imported from Mesoamerica were a component of aspirant leader strategies. Commoner households exchanged mundane artifacts to bank social capital with groups unlikely to undergo simultaneous social depredations. Overall, exchange and other data indicate a fairly balkanized landscape with few signs of elite offices.
