The Bioarchaeology Of Space And Place Investigates Variations In Social Identity Among The Ancient Maya By Focusing On Individuals And Small Groups Identified Archaeologically By Their Inclusion In Specific, Discrete Mortuary Contexts Or By Unusual Mortuary Treatments. Utilizing Archaeological, Biological, And Taphonomic Data From These Contexts, The Studies Employ A Variety Of Methodological Approaches To Reconstruct Aspects Of Individuals’ Life-course And Mortuary Pathways.
