Tikal

Description:

"Twelve leading scholars address questions crucial to Maya archaeology: the timing of the foundation of the Tikal dynasty and the initial indications of sociopolitical complexity, the meaning behind the sixth-seventh century hiatus in monument erection at the site, and the nature of the reassertion of central authority at Tikal with the political and military triumphs of Jasaw Chan K'awiil."--Back cover.
