Maya kings who failed to ensure the prosperity of their kingdoms
were subject to various forms of termination, including the ritual
defacing and destruction of monuments and even violent death. This
is the first comprehensive volume to focus on the varied responses
to the failure of Classic period dynasties in the southern
lowlands. The contributors offer new insights into the Maya
""collapse,"" evaluating the trope of the scapegoat king and the
demise of the traditional institution of kingship in the early
ninth century AD--a time of intense environmental, economic,
social, political, and even ideological change.
