Olmec and Chavín Civilizations Map 7.1: Olmec and Chavín Civilizations. The regions of Mesoamerica (most of modern Mexico and Central America) and the Andean highlands of South America have hosted impressive civilizations since early times. The civilizations of the Olmec and Chavín were the originating civilizations of these two regions, providing the foundations of architecture, city planning, and religion. © Cengage Learning Map 7.1 p194

Olmec Head Olmec Head. Giant heads sculpted from basalt are a widely recognized legacy of Olmec culture. Sixteen heads have been found, the largest approximately 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall. Experts in Olmec archaeology believe the heads are portraits of individual rulers, warriors, or ballplayers. p195

Classic-Era Culture and Society in Mesoamerica, 200–900 Teotihuacan Agricultural and labor innovations Elite control and organization The Maya Association of city-states Agricultural productivity technology

The Temple of the Sun The Temple of the Sun. The temple of the sun in background is the largest pyramid in Tenochtitlan. The smaller temple of Quetzalcoatl in foreground displays the serpent images associated with this culture god common to most Mesoamerican civilizations. p197

Maya Civilization, 250–1400 C.E. Map 7.2: Maya Civilization, 250–1400 C.E. The Maya never created an integrated and unified state. Instead Maya civilization developed as a complex network of independent city-states. © Cengage Learning Map 7.2 p198

The Great Plaza at Tikal The Great Plaza at Tikal. The impressive architectural and artistic achievements of the classic-era Maya are still visible in the ruins of Tikal, in modern Guatemala. Maya centers provided a dramatic setting for the rituals that dominated public life. Construction of Tikal began before 150 B.C.E.; the city was abandoned about 900 C.E. A ball court and residences for the elite were part of the Great Plaza. p199

The Mesoamerican Ball Game The Mesoamerican Ball Game. From Guatemala to Arizona, archaeologists have found evidence of an ancient ball game played with a solid rubber ball on slope-sided courts shaped like a capital T. Among the Maya the game was associated with a creation myth and thus had deep religious meaning. Evidence suggests that some players were sacrificed. In this scene from a ceramic jar, players wearing elaborate ritual clothing—which includes heavy, protective pads around the chest and waist—play with a ball much larger than the ball actually used in such games. Some representations show balls drawn to suggest a human head. p200

The Postclassic Period in Mesoamerica, 900–1300 The Toltecs Conquest state Cholula

Postclassic Mesoamerica Map 7.3: Postclassic Mesoamerica. From their capital, Tula, the Toltecs exercised political and cultural influence across a vast region. © Cengage Learning Map 7.3 p202

Tula Tula. The capital of the Toltecs was dominated by massive public architecture like these carved stone figures. p203

Northern Peoples Southwestern Desert Cultures Hohokam Anasazi Mound Builders: The Hopewell and Mississippian Cultures Hereditary chiefdoms Mound building Cahokia

Culture Areas of North America Map 7.4: Culture Areas of North America. In each of the large ecological regions of North America, native peoples evolved distinctive cultures and technologies. Here the Anasazi of the arid southwest and the mound-building cultures of the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys are highlighted. © Cengage Learning Map 7.4 p205

Mesa Verde Cliff Dwelling Mesa Verde Cliff Dwelling. Located in southern Colorado, the Anasazi cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde region hosted a population of about 7,000 in 1250 C.E. The construction of housing complexes and religious buildings in the area’s large caves was prompted by increased warfare in the region. p206

Andean Civilizations, 200–1400 Cultural Response to Environmental Challenge Altitude, plains and the Amazon Four major ecological zones Labor: the clan (ayllu) and mit’a Moche Tiwanaku and Wari Chimú

Andean Civilizations, 200 B.C.E.–1532 C.E. Map 7.5: Andean Civilizations, 200 B.C.E.–1532 C.E. In response to these difficult environmental challenges, Andean peoples evolved complex social and technological adaptations. Irrigation systems, the domestication of the llama, metallurgy, and shared labor obligations helped provide a firm economic foundation for powerful, centralized states. © Cengage Learning Map 7.5 p208

Moche Warrior Moche Warrior. The Moche of ancient Peru were among the most accomplished ceramic artists of the Americas. Moche potters produced representations of gods and spirits, scenes of daily life, and portrait vases of important people. This warrior is armed with a mace, shield, and protective helmet. The Trustees of the British Museum/Art Resource, NY p209

Burials Reveal Ancient Civilizations Burials Reveal Ancient Civilizations. Buried around 300 C.E., this Moche warrior-priest was buried amid rich tribute at Sipán in Peru. Also buried were the bodies of retainers or kinsmen probably sacrificed to accompany this powerful man. The body lies with the head on the right and the feet on the left. p210

Burials Reveal Ancient Civilizations (continued) Burials Reveal Ancient Civilizations. Similarly, the burial of a member of the Maya elite at Río Azul in northern Guatemala indicates the care taken to surround the powerful with fine ceramics, jewelry, and other valuable goods. p210

The Ritual Center of Tiwanaku The Ritual Center of Tiwanaku. During the Middle Horizon period Tiwanaku was one of the most impressive cities in the Andean region. The ritual center was characterized by beautiful stone construction, sunken plazas, and by large carved stone representations of the gods. p211

Maya Glyphs Maya Glyphs. The Maya developed a sophisticated written language expressed in stylized images (glyphs) conceptually similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. p212
