Archaeology at El PerWaka is the first book to summarize longterm research at this major Maya site. The results of fieldwork and subsequent analyses conducted by members of the El PerWaka Regional Archaeological Project are coupled with theoretical approaches treating the topics of ritual, memory, and power as deciphered through material remains discovered at Waka. The book is sitecentered, yet the fifteen wideranging contributions offer readers greater insight to the richness and complexity of Classicperiod Maya culture, as well as to the ways in which archaeologists believe ancient peoples negotiated their ritual lives and comprehended their own pasts.El PerWaka is an ancient Maya city located in presentday northwestern Petn, Guatemala. Rediscovered by petroleum exploration workers in the mid1960s, it is the largest known archaeological site in the Laguna del Tigre National Park in Guatemalas Maya Biosphere Reserve. The El PerWaka Regional Archaeological Project initiated scientific investigations in 2003, and through excavation and survey, researchers established that Waka was a key political and economic center well integrated into Classicperiod lowland Maya civilization, and reconstructed many aspects of Maya life and ritual activity in this ancient community. The research detailed in this volume provides a wealth of new, substantive, and scientifically excavated data, which contributors approach with fresh theoretical insights. In the process, they lay out sound strategies for understanding the ritual manipulation of monuments, landscapes, buildings, objects, and memories, as well as related topics encompassing the performance and negotiation of power throughout the citys extensive sociopolitical history.
