This abridged edition of the 1979 work entitled The Kaminaljuyu Chiefdom is intended to provide a readable portrait of the ancient Maya of this highland Guatemalan archaeological site. Most of the original book's methodological and technical sections have been left out so that the reader can more easily focus on the main theme of the work, namely how a society adapts to changing conditions over millennia while retaining organizational continuity.

Kaminaljuyu first appears in the archaeological record as a small nucleated village located near a small lake but, over time, grew into a...

La nociOn conquistador-conquistado es la idea principal que recorre los cinco capItulos de este libro, idea que estA contenida en el siguiente silogismo: siendo que Nicaragua es producto de la conquista, es perfectamente razonable estudiar su historia desde la perspectiva de las relaciones entre conquistador y conquistado.

O início do século XIX foi um divisor de águas na história. A Europa enfrentava o auge de um levante revolucionário que marcaria o fim das monarquias autocráticas. A Revolução Industrial unia novas forças econômicas que transformariam a tecnologia, o processo produtivo e a distribuição de poder. Junto a isso, as novas nações das Américas que se proliferavam a partir do colapso do sistema monárquico europeu, apresentavam os recursos, a escala e o escopo necessários para...

Whereas Great Temples I and II were published in 1990 in Tikal Report 14, the four structures presented here are Great Temples III, IV, V, and VI. All but Great Temple V represent Late Classic construction and can be associated with known rulers.

It is tempting to think of these structures as funerary monuments, but this is only a supposition. Their relationship with rulers may have been...
