Rice proposed a new model of Maya political organization in which geopolitical seats of power rotated according to a 256-year calendar cycle known as the May. This fundamental connection between timekeeping and Maya political organization sparked Rice's interest in the origins of the two major calendars used by the ancient lowland Maya, one 260 days long, and the other having 365 days. In Maya Calendar Origins, she presents a provocative new thesis about the origins and development of... In Maya Political Science: Time, Astronomy, and the Cosmos, Prudence M.

Domestic Architecture and Power: The Historical Archaeology of Colonial Ecuador
ISBN: 9781475781649 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Historical archaeology, one of the fastest growing of archaeology's sub fields in North America, has developed more slowly in Central and p- ticularly South America. Happily, this circumstance is ending as a gr- ing number of recent projects are successfully integrating textual and material culture data in studies of the events and processes of the last 500 years. This interval and this region-often called Ibero-America-have been studied for a century or more by historians with traditional perspectives and emphases focusing on colonial elites and large-scale politico-economic events. Such...

Maya Political Science: Time, Astronomy, and the Cosmos
ISBN: 9780292705692 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How did the ancient Maya rule their world? Despite more than a century of archaeological investigation and glyphic decipherment, the nature of Maya political organization and political geography has remained an open question. Many debates have raged over models of centralization versus decentralization, superordinate and subordinate status--with far-flung analogies to emerging states in Europe, Asia, and Africa. But Prudence Rice asserts that neither the model of two giant "superpowers" nor that which postulates scores of small, weakly independent polities fits the accumulating body of...
