Reviews
Another worthy addition to the Maya Studies series, I recommend Ancient Maya Pottery to ceramics and Maya archaeologists.
--Latin American Antiquity
Leaves one with a profound sense of how the t-v-w analysis can be combined with innovative approaches such as technological style, context analysis, practice theory, and a multiplicity of physical science methods that can provide a deeper understanding of ancient Maya culture and society… other areas of the world can benefit from the kind of reflexivity and thoughtfulness about ceramics analysis found in this volume.
--Journal of Anthropological Research
The volume is a significant contribution to the study of ancient Maya ceramics and provides new research results and state-of-the-art thinking. It serves as a valuable resource for archaeologists involved in pottery classification, analysis, and interpretation, and explores Mayan culture interactions.
--Newsletter of the Society for Archaeological Sciences
The reader is reminded of the necessity of considering ceramic objects through multiple lenses, including those of production, functional usage, decoration, life history (e.g., movement, fragmentation), and change over time through a comparative or diachronic view.
--Reviews in Anthropology
Attest[s] to the richness and diversity of contemporary research on the pre-Hispanic Maya and their Mayan-speaking but somewhat distant neighbors, the people of the Huasteca region.
