Although it is tempting to think of the Maya as a single unified culture, they were anything but homogeneous, and differences in identity could be expressed through violence. \u003ci\u003e3,000 Years of War and Peace in the Maya Lowlands\u003c\/i\u003e explores the formation of identity, its relationship to politics, and its manifestation in warfare from the earliest pottery-making villages through the late colonial period by studying the material remains and written texts of the Maya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is an invaluable reference for students and scholars of the ancient Maya, including archaeologists, art historians, and anthropologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey E.
