The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context: Case Studies in Resilience and Vulnerability by Gyles Iannone (Hardcover, 2014)

About this product

Product Information

In this book Contributors reject the popularised link between societal collapse and drought in Maya civilisation, arguing that a series of periodic collapses, including the infamous Terminal Classic collapse (AD 750-1050), were not caused solely by climate change -- related droughts but by a combination of other social, political, and environmental factors. New and senior scholars of archaeology and environmental science explore the timing and intensity of droughts and provide a nuanced understanding of socio-ecological dynamics, with specific reference to what makes communities resilient or vulnerable when faced with environmental change. Contributors recognise the existence of four droughts that correlate with periods of demographic and political decline and identify a variety of concurrent political and social issues. They argue that these primary underlying factors were exacerbated by drought conditions and ultimately led to societal transitions that were by no means uniform across various sites and sub-regions. They also deconstruct the concept of collapse itself -- although the line of Maya kings ended with the Terminal Classic collapse, the Maya people and their civilisation survived. This book offers new insights into the complicated series of events that impacted the decline of Maya civilisation. This significant contribution to our increasingly comprehensive understanding of ancient Maya culture will be of interest to students and scholars of archaeology, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies.
