Encyclopedia of the Ancient Maya offers an A-to-Z overview of the
ancient Maya culture from its inception around 3000 BC to the
Spanish Conquest after AD 1600. Over two hundred entries written by
more than sixty researchers explore subjects ranging from food,
clothing, and shelter to the sophisticated calendar and
now-deciphered Maya writing system. They bring special attention to
environmental concerns and climate variation; fresh understandings
of shifting power dynamics and dynasties; and the revelations from
emerging field techniques (such as LiDAR remote sensing) and newly
explored sites (such as La Corona, Tamchen, and Yaxnohkah). This
one-volume reference is an essential companion for students
studying ancient civilizations, as well as a perfect resource for
those planning to visit the Maya area. Cross-referencing, topical
and alphabetical lists of entries, and a comprehensive index help
readers find relevant details. Suggestions for further reading
conclude each entry, while sidebars profile historical figures who
have shaped Maya research. Maps highlight terrain, archaeological
sites, language distribution, and more; over fifty photographs
complement the volume.
