Recent Investigations in the Puuc Region of Yucatan Paperback / softback
Edited by Meghan Rubenstein
Part of the Archaeopress Pre-Columbian Archaeology series
Paperback / softback
Description
The scholarship assembled in this volume was first presented at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) in Austin, Texas, in April 2014.
Some of the authors have chosen to publish their conference papers while others have expanded their topics.
As a collection, the papers demonstrate a myriad of approaches to understanding the history of the Puuc region, incorporating archaeological, architectural, epigraphic, and iconographic studies.
The geographic scope is also broad. Many of the recent and ongoing archaeological projects in the eastern Puuc region and its periphery are represented, including Dzehkabtun, H'wasil, Kabah, Kiuic, Labna, Sayil, Uxmal, and Xcoch, as well as the Chochola ceramic tradition from the western Puuc.
The projects are at various stages-some preliminary, others a portion of a larger investigation, while still others are revisiting older data-all with the aim to advance our field of study.
It has been more than 10 years since a volume dedicated solely to the Puuc region has been published.
While Puuc research frequently appears in collected volumes on the Yucatan peninsula or the Terminal Classic period, we are pleased to offer this representative example of ongoing work.
