Terminal Classic to Postclassic in the Northern Lowlands

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)

The Terminal Classic represents a time of change for the Maya of the Northern Lowlands. Major social, political, settlement and economic shifts accompanied the collapse of government under divine kings. This session will explore changes involving site organization, architectural tradition, and economic exchange that paved the way for a Postclassic that, while diminished in extent, was firmly rooted in ancient tradition.
