Craft Production by Classic Maya Elites in Domestic Settings: Data from Rapidly Abandoned Structures at Aguateca, Guatemala

Abstract

Extensive excavations of rapidly abandoned structures at the Classic Maya center of Aguateca have provided rich assemblages of complete and reconstructible objects. A particularly interesting result is the presence of objects related to scribal and artistic production in all rapidly abandoned elite residences that have been excavated. Although evidence of such activities is difficult to detect in gradually abandoned structures, researchers need to consider the possibility that a significant portion of elites engaged in scribal and artistic work in their houses.
