People Who Lived in Stone Houses: Local Knowledge and Social Difference in the Classic Maya Puuc Region of Yucatan, Mexico
This study builds on the premise that local knowledge of limestone-and its workable characteristics-was foundational to landscape inhabitation in the Puuc region of Yucatán, México. Classic Maya architecture of the northern Yucatán generally is considered to represent the apogee of Maya construction prowess with extensive use of core-veneer masonry and the creation of tall, wide corbelled vaults. Less commonly discussed is the variable distributi…
Leadership at Sayil: A study of political and religious decentralization
This paper explores the nature of community leadership within the Late–Terminal Classic Maya site of Sayil, Yucatan, Mexico. The distribution of political and religious activities—as represented archaeologically by cylindrical stone monuments (“altars”) and Oxkutzcab Applique censers—is examined. It is argued that such activities are dispersed into the upper ranks of Sayil society, rather than concentrated in the royal, ruling sector. It is furth…
Political Decentralization in the Puuc Region, Yucatán, Mexico
As many of the great Classic Maya cities of the Southern Maya Lowlands went into decline in the late eighth or early ninth centuries A.D., numerous cities in the Puuc region of the Northern Maya Lowlands began their brief but spectacular florescence. Scholars have inferred that these closely packed Puuc cities were politically independent for much of their florescence. This article examines the politically decentralized landscape of the Puuc regi…
Architectural Labor Investment and Social Stratification at Sayil, Yucatan, Mexico
This paper examines household architectural variability within the residential area of Sayil, Yucatán, Mexico. Labor-investment figures for residential architecture are used as a means of categorizing variability. A rank ordering of vault area and per-capita labor investment is achieved and an architectural wealth hierarchy is presented for the residential area of Sayil. This hierarchy is placed in the context of Maya land-tenure systems. It is a…
