Social Integration and the Classic Maya: Some Problems in Haviland's Argument
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
We have said that the cargo system integrates contemporary Maya communities and have suggested this interpretation as a model for interpretation of Classic Maya social organization. Haviland's arguments against this idea remain unsupported, especially because he misinterprets Cancian's study of Zinacantan and fails to use other studies of contemporary Maya communities.
