success.
They
offer
new
perspectives
from
the
homes
of
governing
elites,
secondary
administrators,
affluent
artisans,
and
poorer
members
of
the
service
industries.
Household
occupational
specialists
depended
on
regional
trade
for
basic
provisions
that
were
essential
to
crafting
industries,

and
quality
of
life.

intricate
relationships
of
households

neighbors,
garden

endeavored
to
unite
the
cityscape
and
to
integrate
a
pluralistic
populace
that
derived
from
hometowns
across
the
Yucatán
peninsula.

Recenzii
"A
milestone
publication
in
the
field
of
archaeology.”
—Jeremy A. Sabloff, University of Pennsylvania
—Jeremy A. Sabloff, University of Pennsylvania
"Kukulcan's
Realm is
quite
simply
the
best
study
of
an
archaeological
site
in
northern
Yucatan
to
have
appeared
in
the
past
30
years.
The
careful
work
by
the
authors
opens
a
surprising
number
of
new
vistas
on
Mayapán's
organization,
function,
and
development.
Deploying
the
full
range
of
modern
archaeological
tools
it
provides
a
rich
and
complex
picture
of
this
ancient
capital,
in
the
process
setting
a
new
standard
for
archaeological
reporting."

"Kukulcan's
Realm is
an
in-depth
study
of
a
great
city
that
prospered
at
the
very
end
of
the
Maya
era.
The
authors
have
used
the
latest
archaeological
techniques
to
coax
plentiful
new
information
from
the

This
volume
is
a
highly
enlightening
report
on
that
research."
