Abstract:
"Argues that ancestor veneration is a fundamental feature of the Maya cultural tradition at all socioeconomic levels. Uses ethnographic, ethnohistorical, and archaeological information to explore relationships among ancestors, lineages, and land tenure on the one hand, and systems of social inequality and political power on the other"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57
