House and village models created by the Nayarit peoples depict events central to village life giving us an intimate view of life in ancient West Mexico. When placed in tombs they both reflect the world of the living and create a world for the dead.   House models also allow us to appreciate the building techniques employed in creating dwellings and other buildings known archaeologically only by their foundations. In this example, two intersecting hipped roofs shelter a portico, supported by walls and free-standing posts. Painted black and red diamond pattern decorating the building’s thatched roof and plastered walls can still be seen.   Three adults have gathered for a feast accompanied now only by one of the birds that flock around the house, waiting for its share of the feast to fall to the ground.

One of the men, seemingly asleep on the ledge may have enjoyed more than his share.

These model reconstruct the world of the living, in order to create one for the dead. It does not matter that the viewer, ancient or modern, cannot see every element; it matters that they are there.   The feasts shown in Nayarit models clearly depict important community gatherings, rather than everyday events. On important occasions these would have served to consolidate the community. The models, and their placement in tombs, suggest that the Nayarit believed that similar celebrations took place in the afterlife.
