This discovery opened the way for a history of the Maya, a monumental task that Proskouriakoff was engaged in before her death in 1985. Her work, \u003ci\u003eMaya History\u003c\/i\u003e, has been made ready for press by the able editorship of Rosemary Joyce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaya History\u003c\/i\u003e reconstructs the Classic Maya period (roughly A.D. 250-900) from the glyphic record on stelae at numerous sites, including Altar de Sacrificios, Copan, Dos Pilas, Naranjo, Piedras Negras, Quirigua, Tikal, and Yaxchilan. Proskouriakoff traces the spread of governmental institutions from the central Peten, especially from Tikal, to other city-states by conquest and intermarriage. Thirteen line drawings of monuments and over three hundred original drawings of glyphs amplify the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tatiana Proskouriakoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292766006","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39949051494515,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_72558973-299c-473d-a129-00f646eac4b7.jpg?v=1648475619","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/maya-history-9780292766006","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
