The Maya World brings together over 60 authors, representing the
fields of archaeology, art history, epigraphy, geography, and
ethnography, who explore cutting-edge research on every major facet
of the ancient Maya and all sub-regions within the Maya world. The
Maya world, which covers Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Mexico,
Honduras, and El Salvador, contains over a hundred ancient sites
that are open to tourism, eight of which are UNESCO World Heritage
Sites, and many thousands more that have been dug or await
investigation. In addition to captivating the lay public, the
ancient Maya have attracted scores of major interdisciplinary
research expeditions and hundreds of smaller projects going back to
the 19th century, making them one of the best-known ancient
cultures. The Maya World explores their renowned writing system,
towering stone pyramids, exquisitely painted murals, and elaborate
funerary tombs as well as their creative agricultural strategies,
complex social, economic, and political relationships, widespread
interactions with other societies, and remarkable cultural
resilience in the face of historical ruptures. This is an
invaluable reference volume for scholars of the ancient Maya,
including archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists.
