About this product

Product Information

TThe collapse of classic Maya civilization at the end of the eighth century AD is still an enigma, but the reason behind it is likely more than a clash of warring city-states. New research indicates that ecological degradation and nutritional deficiency may be as important to our understanding of Maya cultural processes as deciphering the rise and fall of kings. Reconstructing Ancient Maya Diet integrates data from bone-chemistry research, paleopathology, paleobotany, zooarchaeology, and ethnobotany to show what the ancient Maya actually ate at various periods (as opposed to archaeological suppositions) and how diet affected the quality of their lives. Maya subsistence has been probed intensively for the last decade, but this is the first volume to unite work across the spectrum of Maya bioarchaeology.

Reviews
"An exemplar of multidisciplinary research.... This volume shows how much can be gleaned through a holistic approach to dietary reconstruction."-- International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, "The chapters in this edited volume are very valuable contributions to studies of ancient Maya nutrition."- Latin American Antiquity , "White argues that this volume is a starting point for additional investigations on food behavior and food as a metaphor for culture. It is, indeed, an impressive beginning."-- Journal of Anthropological Research, "An exemplar of multidisciplinary research.... This volume shows how much can be gleaned through a holistic approach to dietary reconstruction."-- International Journal of Osteoarchaeology , "White has the strong editorial vision it takes to make a volume like this cohere and sum to a whole greater than its parts.... This is a fine example of the value of exploring multiple lines of evidence that should be of interest to anyone who appreciates a multidimensional approach to archaeological problem solving."-- American Journal of Human Biology, "White has the strong editorial vision it takes to make a volume like this cohere and sum to a whole greater than its parts....
