From the Maya margins: images of Postclassic politics
late lowland maya civilization : classic to postclassic • Albuquerque • Published In 1986 • Pages: 199-222
By: Miller, Arthur G..
Abstract
Miller sees the Postclassic starting in 1230 B.P. (770 A.D.) as signaled by changes in the murals and architecture in Quintana Roo. These changes were brought about by a migration of Chontal Maya along the coast. A second migration occurred around 600 B.P. (1400 A.D.). Miller uses the analogy of the Vikings raiding and then becoming the rulers in parts of Europe to speculate on the Chontal arrival and then political integration. Miller believes the native Maya continued to live inland and farm while the new Chontal Maya settled on the coast and were traders.
