This dissertation explores dwelling---the daily practices through which subjects come into relations with people, places and things---at the site of Chunchucmil, Yucatan, Mexico, a Classic period (250--900 A.C.E.) Maya urban center. In an anti-Cartesian perspective consonant with recent conceptions of ancient Maya sensibilities toward personhood, these relations constitute how one becomes a subject of and to the world. Chunchucmil has a domestic zone consisting of enclosed houselots, a monumental zone consisting of temples and avenues, and a system of alleyways that articulates the two zones. Within a sample of three houselots, architectural excavations, systematic test pitting, phosphate analysis, trace element analysis, phytolith analysis, and macrobotanical analysis enabled detection of multiple activities in both architectural and non-architectural spaces and an assessment of models of cultural formation processes. Identity is formed not simply by the activities in which people engage but also by their membership in social groups. Since Chunchucmil houselots represent a flexible, house-based form of social group, mapping and comparison of a sample of 75 houselots aided in understanding difference and detected hierarchical relations. The organization of settlement created intimate encounters that would sensitize people to this hierarchy while also limiting it. The built environment also heightened people's exposure to monuments and the powerful institutions affiliated with them. Consideration of the relational context of these exposures, however, prevents straightforward interpretations of them. This research contributes to social archaeologies which attempt to re-configure agency, practice, and power from a relational approach.
