The Evidence for Complex Exchange Systems among the Ancient Maya
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The hypothesis presented by Tourtellot and Sabloff regarding ancient Maya exchange systems, although not necessarily incorrect, is found to be based on inaccurate information. The use of such data leads to the formulation of erroneous ideas concerning Maya economic systems in general. This in turn hinders the application of the useful aspects of Tourtellot and Sabloff"s study to problems concerning the structure of ancient Maya society.
