The ancient Maya used mainly stone tools, made of either ground
stone and chipped stone, to achieve their extraordinary
development. However, works focused on this aspect are still rare.
This book presents the techno-typological analysis of lithic
materials from La Blanca, a Mayan archaeological site located in
the heart of the Southern Lowlands, which was mainly inhabited
during the Late Classic and Terminal Classic periods. In addition,
a general methodology for the techno-typological analysis and
classification of Mayan lithic artefacts is presented, which is
complemented by an extensive graphic section that includes the
technical drawings of most of the chipped stone tools.
