In the Maw,
By
This review is from: In the Maw of the Earth Monster: Studies of Mesoamerican Ritual Cave Use (Linda Schele Series in Maya and Pre-Columbian Studies) (Hardcover)
Super book. Every article has new information either about pilgrimages to caves, cave rituals, cave ritual specialists, offerings, use of interior space in caves, or relationships of caves to surface sites. I have read and reread several of the chapters and wish that every US archaeologist would read this book. Alan Sandstrom has written an excellent chapter detailing a cave pilgrimage his family participated in last decade. There is also attention given to the place of rockshelters in sacred landscape in several articles. Read this together with Stone Houses and Earth Lords and you'll never look at caves and rockshelter assemblages the same.
