But what do we know of the common folk who labored to build the temple complexes and palaces and grew the food that fed all of Maya society? This pathfinding book marshals a wide array of archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic evidence to offer the fullest understanding to date of the lifeways of ancient Maya commoners. Senior and emerging scholars contribute case studies that examine such aspects of commoner life as settlement patterns, household organization, and subsistence practices. Their reports cover most of the Maya area and the entire time span from Preclassic to Postclassic. This broad range of data helps resolve Maya commoners from a faceless mass into individual actors who successfully adapted to their social environment and who also held primary responsibility for producing the food and many other goods on which the whole Maya society depended. 606 $aMayas$xSocial conditions$vCongresses 606 $aMayas$xAntiquities$vCongresses 606 $aWorking class$zCentral America$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aSocial structure$zCentral America$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aLand settlement patterns$zCentral America$vCongresses 615 0$aMayas$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMayas$xAntiquities 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 615 0$aSocial structure$xHistory 615 0$aLand settlement patterns 676 $a972.81/01 701 $aLohse$b Jon C.$f1968-$01647772 701 $aValdez$b Fred$01756528 712 02$aAmerican Anthropological Association.$bMeeting$d(98th :$f1999 :$eChicago, Ill.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810777903321 996 $aAncient Maya commoners$94193842 997 $aUNINA
