The two volumes of "Royal Courts of the Ancient Maya" provide
current archaeological perspectives on Maya courts conceived as
vital, functioning social groups composed of lords, courtiers,
scribes, priests, and entertainers, among many others. In addition
to archaeological data on the architecture and other spatial
attributes of courts, the studies in the two volumes bring to bear
on the topic the most recent evidence from inscriptions, vase
paintings, murals and friezes, and ethnohistoric records in order
to flesh out a portrait of the actors and roles that made up Maya
courts through time and across space. The attributes of courts are
explored in the Maya highlands and lowlands, from the origins of
early kingship through the Classic period to the Postclassic and
Terminal epochs. Pertinent comparisons are also drawn from the
Aztecs and other ancient and contemporary societies. "Volume 1:
Theory, Comparison, and Synthesis" establishes a carefully
considered framework for approaching the study of courts and their
functions throughout the world of the ancient Maya. "Volume 2: Data
and Case Studies" provides authoritatively current data and
insights from key Maya sites, including Copan, Tikal, Caracol,
Bonampak, and Calakmul.
