Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city of Copán was a major center of Maya culture during the Classic Period (AD 250–900). While archaeologists have been traditionally concerned with the top‐down despotic power of Maya rulers, I show how infrastructural power—the ability of the state to affect the everyday lives of its residents—waxed and waned. As a representative subset of the city at large, the intermediate scale of neighborhoods best reveals effects of and reactions to state power. I focus on politcal dynamics at six households within the San Lucas neighorbood, attending to episodes of landscape engineering, architectural construction, and artifactual trends. I consider these changes together with political events recorded in hieroglyphic inscriptions at Copán Center. This correlation shows whether and how state policies altered the daily lives of residents. Incorporating a bottom‐up perspective from the intermediate scale of neighborhoods enables an integrated assessment of citywide political dynamics.

玛雅状态过程的动力学：来自洪都拉斯科潘圣卢卡斯社区的综合视角

科潘市被公认为联合国教科文组织世界遗产，在古典时期（公元250-900年）曾是玛雅文化的主要中心。传统上，考古学家一直在关注玛雅统治者的自上而下的专政权力，但我展示了基础设施的力量（国家影响其居民日常生活的能力）是如何消亡的。作为整个城市的代表性子集，社区的中间规​​模最大程度地揭示了国家权力的影响和对国家权力的反应。我关注圣卢卡斯邻里社区中六个家庭的政治动态，关注景观工程，建筑施工和人为趋势的发展。我考虑了这些变化以及Copán中心象形文字铭文中记录的政治事件。这种相关性显示了国家政策是否以及如何改变了居民的日常生活。从邻居的中间规模纳入自下而上的观点，可以对整个城市的政治动态进行综合评估。[政治动态，集体行动理论，城市化，社区，玛雅人]
