Wauchope, Robert, 1909-
Modern Maya Houses : A Study of their Archaeological significance / by Robert Wauchope.
Publisher: Mansfield Centre, CT : Martino Pub., c2006..
vii,181 p. illus., 25 cm. Wauchope’s study of modern Mayan houses made an important contribution to archaeology both in general and specific terms. Not only does he cover the filed of ancient and modern houses as to plan and construction, but he also covers their historical, ethnological and sociological aspects. The implication of the research is two-fold. The integration of the life of the past population with that of the living exercises a humanizing influence on the extremities of modern archaeological technique, and a survey of village household life gives a more continuous picture of culture evolution in Middle American than the concentration of research on the essentially specialized ceremonial centers. It is also very important for an understanding of these monumental centers to know something of the nature of the population concentration and the extent of the social units affiliated to such centers.---quoted from G.C. Vaillant in a review of the book, 1938. Originally published: Washington, D.C. : Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1938. (Carnegie Institution of Washington publication ; no. 502). Stock# 42,385x.
