The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context: Case Studies in Residence and Vulnerability (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Chelsea Walter

In The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context, contributors reject the popularized link between societal collapse and drought in Maya civilization, arguing that a series of periodic "collapses," including the infamous Terminal Classic collapse (AD 750), were caused not solely by climate change-related droughts but by a combination of other social, political, and environmental factors. New and senior scholars of archaeology and environmental science explore the timing and intensity of droughts...

La Noria: A Hydrologic Technology of Yucatan (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Nina E. Williams.

This paper addresses the changes to the noria platform and to noria technology of north-central Yucatán. I question whether personal preference influenced differentiation of the technology or if specific utilitarian activities dictated more standardization through time. I use statistical analysis to determine if there is equal variance among the noria openings and platforms. By comparing three different property types (haciendas, ranchos, and conventos) the data indicates the noria...
