Spanish translation by Veronica Kennedy. First edition. During the past four years the Palo Blanco Project has conducted fieldwork in and around the Tehuacán Valley with the objective of contributing to a better understanding of the processes of social, political, and economic development by which complex societies emerge. To this end we have focused on the Late and Terminal Formative and Early Classic periods. In terms of the ceramic chronology established by MacNeish, Peterson, and Flannery (1970), these include the Late Santa María and the Early and Late Palo Blanco phases.
