Abstract

Consistent with his enthusiastic embrace of cultural ecology and cultural materialism, Robert S. Santley (1948-2006) saw the economy as basic to the organization of social and belief systems. We review Santley's contributions to Mesoamerican archaeology in the context of broader issues and debates and introduce the articles that make up this special issue in his memory.
