The Lost Chronicles of the Maya Kings
by David Drew
Recent major developments in the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics have revealed that alongside the material achievements of the Maya ran intellectual accomplishments in astronomy, math, and calendrics. Seemingly tried to the complexities of Maya religion, these achievements were remarkable for a society technically in the Stone Age. The Chronicles of the Maya Kings are the histories recorded on the reliefs of temple walls, on magnificent hieroglyphic stairways, and on stone stelae planted by Maya rulers in the plazas of their cities.
The Archaeology of Social Boundaries
by
Fourteen contributors examine an array of media - from ceramics and personal ornaments to architecture and site structure - in small-scale societies and apply methods from both sides of the Atlantic to explore how technical choices made in the creation of everyday objects can both reflect and define social boundaries. In chapters on prehistoric and historic societies that range from North America to Africa to Oceania, the authors suggest that variation in technical systems corresponds more closely than stylistic variation does to the boundaries between groups. They also address the question of whether modern concepts of ethnicity can be translated into archaeological terms.
Out of the Past
by David L. Webster
Out of the Past presents a scientific approach to studying how and why cultures change, examining not only what archaeologists find, but also how they gather data and test their hypotheses.
Ancient Micronesia & the Lost City of Nan Madol
by David Hatcher Childress
Latest in the popular Lost Cities series, Ancient Micronesia explores the astonishing array of megalithic ruins found in the South Pacific, including the Latte Stones of the Marianas, the menhirs of Paulau, the megalithic canal city on Kosrae Island, and the ever-mysterious Nan Madol on Pohnpei Island. Intrepid adventurer and author David Childress researched Nan Madol to discover that it contains over 250 million tons of basalt columns strewn, partially submerged, over an 11-square-mile area of artificial islands. Strange underwater buildings of this incredible city are found at 80 feet. Local legends insist the huge volcanic rocks, weighing up to 50 tons each, were levitated into place by mysterious island ancestors.
