Late Lowland Maya Civilization: Classic to Postclassic

This first edition focuses on the long-neglected Postclassic period between the high point of Maya civilization in the 8th century and the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th. The essays present new and often controversial arguments on chronology and perspective, suggesting that the relationship of Classic to Postclassic in the Maya lowlands is much more complex than formerly supposed. Many line drawings, tables, and photographs illustrate the text.
