Beschreibung:
Examines how images, texts and architectural form controlled movement of people through the various precincts in Classic Maya cities.
Identifying which spaces were the most accessible and most public, and which spaces were segregated and highly private, Dr Parmington demonstrates how sculptural, iconographic and hieroglyphic content varies considerably when found in public/common or private/elite space.
