Críticas

Painting the broadest brush and embracing nearly a half century of research into one volume, the contributions are both a review and an addition to the existing information on the major Maya centre in the heart of the Maya forest.... In sum, this volume represents several themes. The ability of Tikal to attract populace that could fuel the construction and support the widely-flung relations of the rulers is evident from the civic centre and the distance countryside. Also revealed, is the importance of the Early Classic development in the dynastic materials, the interactions with neighbors, and in the affairs of state. ...The mix of topics makes specific data and individual investigations a cumulative compilation and worthy contribution to appreciating the unique qualities of Tikal in the story of the ancient Maya. - Annabel Ford in ANTHROPOS

Reseña del editor

Insights from the Tikal excavations suggest that a marketplace existed in the centre of this Mayan city, that foreigners abounded and that the fortunes of the rulers were undergoing change. This text discusses the period and the overall implications of these archaeological discoveries. North America: School for Advanced Research Press
