"Kukulcan's Realm is an in-depth study of a great city that
prospered at the very end of the Maya era. The authors have used
the latest archaeological techniques to coax plentiful new
information from the ruins. This volume is a highly enlightening
report on that research."
--Georgia Fox, American Archaeology"A substantial, in-depth study
of life Mayapán. . . The level of detail in the data presentation
will be useful for archaeologists working at other sites in
Mesoamerica and beyond, and the cultural interpretations will
interest general readers. A rare work in that it shows so clearly
the connection between data and interpretation."
--J. J. Aimers, Choice
"This wealth of data will certainly be selectively mined by many a
Mayanist."
--Hispanic American Historical Review
"Kukulcan's Realm is quite simply the best study of an
archaeological site in northern Yucatan to have appeared in the
past 30 years. The careful work by the authors opens a surprising
number of new vistas on Mayapán's organization, function, and
development. Deploying the full range of modern archaeological
tools it provides a rich and complex picture of this ancient
capital, in the process setting a new standard for archaeological
reporting."
--William Ringle, Dept. of Anthropology, Davidson College
"A milestone publication in the field of archaeology."
--Jeremy A. Sabloff, University of Pennsylvania
