Several different cultures-Iroquois, Coosa, Anasazi, Hohokam, San Agusti?n, Wankarani, Formative Gulf Coast Mexico, and Formative, Classic, Colonial, and contemporary Maya-are analyzed through the lens of household archaeology in concrete, data-driven case studies. The text is divided into three sections: Section I examines the spatial and social organization and context of household production; Section II looks at the role and results of households as primary producers; and Section III investigates the role of, and interplay among, households in their greater political and socioeconomic communities. In the past few decades, household archaeology has made substantial contributions to our understanding and explanation of the past through the documentation of the household as a social unit-whether small or large, rural or urban, commoner or elite. These case studies from a broad swath of the Americas make Ancient Households of the Americas extremely valuable for continuing the comparative interdisciplinary study of households. 517 $aAncient Households of the Americas 606 $aIndians$xAntiquities$vCongresses 606 $aLand settlement patterns 615 0$aIndians$xAntiquities 615 0$aLand settlement patterns. 676 $a970.0 702 $aDouglass$b John G. 702 $aGonlin$b Nancy 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476825103321 996 $aAncient Households of the Americas$92990481 997 $aUNINA
