Editorial Reviews

Review

The lengthy volume Copan is the result of intensive research, scholarly seminars ... and extensive collaborations among the contributors over the past 20 years.... This book is important for scholars of the archaeology of Classic Maya nobles in urban areas, and researchers on elites in other ancient societies and students of Classic Maya civilization will find it very useful. It is well written and well illustrated and contains a detailed index and bibliography. --Current Anthropology, Vol. 49, no. 1 (February 2008).
