ABSTRACT In archaeology, rural areas are increasingly understood as dynamic places where inhabitants negotiate with the local and wider community in diverse ways to ensure their well-being. Developments have also been made in research that explores the variety of responses to collapse scenarios. This paper engages with both lines of inquiry to examine how the rural community of Monte El Santo responded to the political collapse of the Río Viejo polity in the Early Postclassic period on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. The lack of powerful political institutions following the Río Viejo collapse allowed both commoners at Río Viejo and rural people from Monte El Santo to gain greater access to trade networks and prestige goods. Data from spindle whorls and obsidian from both sites, however, demonstrate that rural actors did not necessarily engage with the post-collapse situation in the same way as their urban counterparts.

崩溃后的农村应对：墨西哥瓦哈卡州蒙特圣山的见解

摘要在考古学中，越来越多的农村地区被理解为充满活力的地方，居民以各种方式与当地和更广泛的社区进行谈判，以确保他们的健康。在探索对崩溃场景的各种响应的研究中也取得了进展。本文结合这两个方面的研究，探讨了蒙特圣埃尔（Monte El Santo）的农村社区如何应对在墨西哥瓦哈卡海岸（Oaxaca）沿岸的后古典初期的里奥维耶荷政体的政治崩溃。里奥维耶荷（RíoViejo）倒台后缺乏强大的政治机构，这使得里奥维耶荷（RíoViejo）的平民和来自圣埃尔蒙特（Monte El Santo）的农村居民都能获得更多的贸易网络​​和声誉商品。但是，来自这两个站点的主轴螺纹和黑曜石的数据
