Understanding the ways in which human communities define themselves
in relation to landscapes has been one of the crucial research
questions in anthropology. This book addresses this question in the
context of the classic Maya culture that thrived in the lowlands of
the Yucatan peninsula and adjacent parts of Guatemala, Belize, and
Western Honduras from 350 to 900 CE. Tokovinine explores the
striking juxtaposition of similar cultural values and distinct
political identities by looking at how identities were formed and
maintained in relation to place, thus uncovering what classic Maya
landscapes were like in the words of the people who created and
experienced them.
Based on the comprehensive study of one of the most important
collections of Maya art in the United States, Ancient Maya Art at
Dumbarton Oaks is a scholarly introduction to one of the great
traditions of sculpture and painting in ancient America.
