Abstract
The article analyzes the architecture of the Maya city of Machaquilá (Peten, Guatemala) through the description and discussion of construction techniques, types of buildings and complexes, and decoration attached to buildings, also adding an analysis of the urban design from the perspective of its relationship to ritual. In these respects the differences between Late and Terminal Classic Periods, and the influence from two neighboring regional traditions –South East Petén and Pasión River area– are evaluated.Downloads
