Classification has been fundamental to archaeology since the beginning of the discipline. While classification can be quite useful in organizing information, there remains the nagging question of the meaning or significance behind the resulting classes or types. That is, do the classification schemes imposed on the data by the researcher reflect real phenomena in the past? These schemes tend to be based on formal characteristics of the objects being studied, since this is what is visible to us given the static nature of the archaeological record. However, we must first be assured that variability within these formal characteristics directly relates to variability within the past cultural system in which they were manifested in order to say something meaningful about the dynamic cultural past. Within Maya archaeology, the classification of monumental architecture presents particular problems. Maya archaeologists typically classify buildings according to a widely held set of criteria based on form, but sometimes there is no attempt to get at the cultural meanings behind these forms. More often, the cultural meanings that are attributed to various building classes are treated in a noncritical fashion. Such has been the case with the class of Maya buildings known as palaces. This is a major reason for the publication of the current volume, and hopefully the various studies herein will partly rectify this situation. Over thirty years ago in a review of Maya architecture, Pollock (1965: 411) remarked that ‘‘the least satisfactory class of buildings, both from the point of view of type and of function, is the so-called palace.’’ Unfortunately, the argument can be made that this still holds true today. As it is used in Maya archaeology, the term ‘‘palace’’ generally refers to multiroom","PeriodicalId":272449,"journal":{"name":"Maya Palaces and Elite Residences","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121682932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
