{"product_id":"stone-houses-and-earth-lords-keith-m-prufer-9781646421855","title":"Stone Houses and Earth Lords: Maya Religion in the Cave Context","description":"Cave archaeology in the New World, now a focus of intense research, was still a peripheral area of inquiry just fifteen years ago. \u003ci\u003eStone Houses and Earth Lords\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume dedicated exclusively to the use of caves in the Maya Lowlands, covering primarily Classic Period archaeology from A.D. 100 through the Spaniards' arrival. Although the caves that riddled the lowlands show no signs of habitation, most contain evidence of human use - evidence that suggests that they functioned as ritual spaces.\u003cp\u003eDemonstrating the importance of these subterranean spaces to Maya archaeology, contributors provide interpretations of archaeological remains that yield insights into Maya ritual and cosmology. Compiling the best current scholarship in this fast-growing area of research, \u003ci\u003eStone Houses and Earth Lords\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital reference for Mayanists, Mesoamerican specialists, and others interested in the human use of caves in the New World.
