AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Gregory describes Classic period platform mounds and their compounds, where they are located and their placement within a site. He finds they are constructed in a similar manner and are placed in a simnilar manner within their compounds. Where ballcourts occur they are consistently placed in relation to the platform mounds. All of these features indicate they define a central focus at many sites.
