The settlement of Aguateca, Guatemala, rapidly abandoned at the
end of the Classic period (ca. AD 810), provides archaeological
insight into the political, social, and economic lifestyle of Maya
elite. Located at the southern end of the Petexabatun region,
Aguateca is unique amoung Classic Maya sites, primarily as a result
of its Pompeii-like level of preservation.
Accompanied by clear and impressive illustrations, "Burned
Palaces and Elite Residences of Aguateca "provides a summary of the
meticulously documented excavations. While most ceramic reports in
the Maya area focus on descriptions of types or classes of
ceramics, the work of Takeshi Inomata and Daniela Triadan details
the unique attributes and contexts of each vessel, leading to
further understanding of life and social relations among the
Maya
"Burned Palaces and Elite Residences of Aguateca "advances Maya
archaeology by documenting the function of multiroomed masonry
buildings and providing vivid models of daily life of the Classic
Maya elite. This volume, one of a three-volume series, is the
definitive report on Aguateca.
