The chronology of Chichen Itza: a review of the literature
late lowland maya civilization : classic to postclassic • Albuquerque • Published In 1986 • Pages: 141-196
By: Linclon, Charles E..
Abstract
Lincoln examines the ceramic, sculptural, architectural, settlement pattern, and hieroglypic data from Chichen Itza to show that Puuc and Toltec styles overlap in time and are not sequential. Instead, many of the differences may relate to building function. He points out that the original excavations did not establish a chronological ceramic sequence and so that many of the ceramics should be thought of as regional variants. Lincoln believes Chichen Itza is not radically different from other Maya sites and that Mayapan and Chichen Itza architectural styles and settlement patterns are very similar.
