Considering Early New World Monumentality

Abstract

The introductory chapter provides a theoretical overview to the volume. This theoretical perspective includes a brief historical account of the study of monumentality, the idea of approaching monumentality from two temporal scales (initial labor organization and long-term built environment), as well as the rationale for examining these issues comparatively across the three American continents. A review of the contents of each paper is not provided in this introductory chapter but instead themes that run through multiple papers is discussed and their implication explored.
