This volume was conceived to provide a forum for Mexican and
foreign scholars to publish new data and interpretations on the
archaeology of the northern Maya lowlands, specifically the State
of Yucatan. Increased communication among scholars has become
increasingly important for grasping a better understanding of the
great amount of data emerging from the State of Yucatan. There has
been more salvage work conducted in this state than in any of the
others throughout Mexico and the data is overwhelming. Because of
this large amount of salvage work, archaeologists in the INAH
office in Yucatan have had little time to publish the great
majority of the new information. Further, many of the forums that
are easily accessible to scholars in the northern lowlands have
constrictive space restraints not conducive to publishing data.
With these points in mind, this volume seeks to gather papers that
did not necessarily have to have a theoretical focus, and that
could be data laden so that the raw data from many of these
projects would not be confined to difficult to access reports in
the Merida and Mexico City offices. The result is a series of
manuscripts on the northern lowlands, most of which focus on the
State of Yucatan. Some of the papers are very data heavy, while
others have a much more interpretive emphasis. Yet all of them
contribute to a more complete picture of the northern lowland Maya.
