Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Extract
The problem of the technique whereby the Maya, Aztec, and other peoples accomplished the cutting of wood in the vast quantities needed for construction, and particularly for lime burning has long been a matter of speculation (Morris, Chariot, and Morris 1931). Wood cutting might have required comparatively little effort if metal tools had'been available, but this was apparently not the case.
