Despite a growing interest in the gut microbiome of non-industrialized regions of the world, data linking microbiome features from such settings to diverse phenotypes remains uncommon. Here, using metagenomic data from a community-based cohort of 1,187 people from isolated villages in the Mesoamerican highlands of Western Honduras, we report 7,117...

... San Lucas residents continued living within the lower-status buildings of Groups 12M-4 and 10M-3 and the hilltop households but quickly abandoned elite structures at Groups 12M-1 and 11M-9-11. For example, at Group 12M-4, the earliest occupied Period 1 structure remained in use until as late as the Terminal Classic (AD 900), but the remodeled building was abandoned in late Period 4. Such a pattern may be consistent across Copán's neighborhoods (Freter and Abrams 2016;Gonlin and Landau 2020), suggesting that migration and abandonment of particular places within neighborhoods was connected with infrastructural power at the household level. Households that were more connected to Copán's political economy disintegrated with the collapse, while original neighborhood members persisted. ...
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.
