Bøker av Rosemary A. Joyce

The author combines archaeological data gleaned from site research in 1980-1983 with anthropological theory about the evolution of social power to reconstruct something of the culture and lifeways of the prehispanic inhabitants of Cerro Palenque.

The first comprehensive description and analysis of gender and power relations in prehispanic Mesoamerica.

By applying contemporary theory from across the social sciences, the authors of this title shed light on Ancient Egyptian and Maya cultures, and draw attention to the fundamental differences that can underlie apparently similar practices.
