Locascio (which can be freely downloaded from the University of Pittsburgh's Electronic Theses and Dissertations Database). It provides detailed data on the archeaological remains from household contexts recoverd at the El Hatillo site, Panama, which are discussed in full in the dissertation, whose contents are as follows:
- 1 Introduction: Goals and methods of comparing El Hatillo's households.
- 2 Area A Excavations: High status households and the nature of social authority during the peak political period.
- 3 Area B Excavations: Evidence of long term occupation among heavily disturbed remains.
- 4 Area C Excavations: Early high status households and communal life.
- 5 Area D Excavations: Domestic activity and household space among Conte Phase commoners.
- 6 Area E Excavations: Domestic activity and hosehold space among commoners during the peak political period.
- 7 Area F Excavations: Communal events and El Hatillo's decline
- 8 Conclusion: Status differences and household variation through time in a prehispanic panamanian chiefdom.
Funding to collect the data presented here was provided by a National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant (Award No. BCS-0735043).
