Classic Maya Place Names

Edited by David Stuart and Stephen D. Houston

ISBN 9780884022091

Publication date: 01/01/1994

The authors present evidence that specific place names do exist in Maya inscriptions, and show that identifying these names sheds considerable light on both past and present questions about the Maya.

Praise

  • Despite its seemingly specialized topic, this book should appeal to a wider audience. The study represents another step forward in the process of unraveling the meaning of Maya inscriptions, and brings to the forefront questions that can only be answered through interdisciplinary research.
