Review
"This outstanding volume is well-illustrated and should be required reading for graduate students of Mesoamerican studies."
Product Description
This collection combines archaeology and ethnography to explore the Mesoamerican archaeological record. Contributors focus on the little-understood material phenomena of ritual deposits, dedicatory or votive offerings, caches, and termination events. Drawing on contemporary Maya ethnography, the authors argue that a few deep structural principles unify the Mesoamerican world view, both present and past, and apply these concepts to the deposition of dedicatory and termination offerings in the archaeological record.
