Description

Chichen Itza, the legendary capital and trading hub of the late Maya civilization, continues to fascinate visitors and researchers with unanswered questions about its people, rulers, rituals, economics, religion, politics, or even chronology. Addressing many of these current debates, contributors to Landscapes of the Itza question when town’s construction was once completed, what the needs of its famous pyramid and other buildings were, whether town maintained strict territorial borders, and how town’s influence was once felt in smaller neighboring settlements such as Popola, Ichmul de Morley, and Ek Balam. Special attention is given to the website’s visual culture, including its architecture, epigraphy, ceramics, sculptures, and work of art. This volume is a much-needed update on contemporary archaeological and art historical work being done at Chichen Itza, offering new ways of working out the website and its role within the Yucatan landscape.
