Abstract
'The goal of this chapter is to examine the role of Classic period platform mounds on a regional scale....Its application fosters new understandings of continuity and variation in this important and widespread architectural form.' (page 385). Doelle et al. describe the various forms and construction of platform mounds, including tower mounds, and how they evolved into platform mounds. Platform mounds do not represent a single system, but rather several subregional systems.
