About This Item
xvi+267 pages with plates (some in color), charts, tables, photographs, appendices and index. Quarto (10 3/4" x 8") bound in original publisher's red cloth with silver lettering to spine in pictorial jacket. First edition. Prudence Rice places the rural outpost of Macanche Island within the larger geographical and historical context of the Yucatan peninsula during the Postclassic period. She weaves together analyses of the artifacts, largely ceramics, of Bullard's 1968 excavation with the artifacts found in later excavations focused on the Peten lake basins. Typological descriptions of the pottery are supplemented by analyses of function, slip and paste and by discussions of locally manufacture imported material. This book enables us to reconstruct and understand the role of rural outposts of a powerful civilization during a time of economic and political chaos. Condition: Jacket small closed tear at front head else a fine copy in a near fine jacket.
