- Summary:
- "This chapter introduces the main protagonists and the theoretical framework underpinning the study of nearly 200 faunal remains retrieved from the offertory caches at the Moon Pyramid of Teotihuacan, Mexico. Animal matter, both corporeal animal forms (animal bodies and by-products) and their representation are understood within a relational ontology as active persons with social positionality established through intra-action with human and other-than-human persons. Corporeal animal forms are a material record of diachronic and synchronic physical intra-action between humans and animals. Thus, they provide optimal contextually situated reconstructions of the co-participation of animals in ritual performances. State ritualized performances are particularly effective sites of engagement to retrieve the social transactions between humans, animals, and other agentive persons during the process of sovereignty formation at Teotihuacan"-- Provided by publisher.
