The First Maya Civilization: Ritual and Power Before the Classic Period
"Francisco Estrada-Belli's newbook on the early Maya stems from a decade of excavations and survey by the Holmul Project at Holmul, Cival, La, Sufricaya, and other sites in the northeast Peten of Guatemala...the writing is clear and lively...Estrada-Belli'sbook contains many valuable and instructive insights and convincing arguments and is well worth reading." –E.
