DISSERTATION

1999 Craftsman Skill and Specialization: Investigating the Craft Production of Prehispanic Obsidian

Blades at Xochicalco and Teotihuacan, Mexico.

Abstract

This study examines the craft production of obsidian blades at the sites of Xochicalco and Teotihuacan, Mexico. Specifically, it measures skill in order to infer levels of labor invested by craft specialists. This research is a move away from conceptualizing craftsman labor as either part-time or full-time. Instead, inferences of labor intensity are used to rank workshops along a continuum of specialization. This approach enables the inference of a wider range of specialist intensity among craft workshops than is possible using the part-time/full-time dichotomy. Detailed information about specialist labor intensity provides us with more accurate reconstructions of prehistoric craft economies.
