Description: "Describes a clearing and excavation program at a modest town on the banks of the Río Grijalva in Chiapas. Excavations in the central zone of public architecture indicate that El Sumidero flourished during the late classic period (ca. AD 600-1000). Therefore, it was not, as has sometimes been suggested, the capital of the Chiapanecs, who dominated the region at the time of the Spanish invasion. Includes analysis of architecture, pottery, chipped and ground stone, and other artifacts"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 143-160).
