Utilizing archaeological, biological, and taphonomic data from these contexts, the studies employ a variety of methodological approaches to reconstruct aspects of individuals? life-course and mortuary pathways. Following this, specific mortuary behaviors are discussed in relation to their local or regional cultural setting using relevant archaeological, ethnohistoric, and/or ethnographic data in an effort to interpret their meaning within the broader social, political and economic contexts in which they were carried out. This volume covers a number of topics that are currently being debated in Maya archaeology, including identification and discussion of the role and extent of human sacrifice in Maya culture, the use of ancestors for maintaining political power, the mortuary use of caves by both elites and non-elites, ethnic distinctions within urban areas, and the extent of movement of people between communities. Importantly, the papers in this volume attempt to test and move beyond static, dichotic categories that are often employed in mortuary studies in an effort to better understand the complex ways in which the Maya conceptualized and manipulated social identity. This type of nuanced case-study approach that incorporates historical, archaeological, and theoretical contextualization is becoming increasingly important in the field of bioarchaeology, providing valuable sources of data where small, diverse samples impede populational approaches. . 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aCultural heritage 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aCultural Heritage$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000 607 $aMexico$xAntiquities 607 $aCentral America$xAntiquities 607 $aCentral America$2fast 607 $aMexico$2fast 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aCultural heritage. 615 14$aArchaeology. 615 24$aAnthropology. 615 24$aCultural Heritage. 676 $a300 676 $a301 676 $a363.69 676 $a930.1 702 $aWrobel$b Gabriel D$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485030503321 996 $aThe Bioarchaeology of Space and Place$92854267 997 $aUNINA
