Estimates of Maya Population: Comments on Thompson's Comments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The historic Maya habit of abandoning a hut after the occupant's death, and the tendency to move communal sites, may be responses to population decimation and foreign political domination following breakup of the Mayapan hegemony. If so, it is doubtful that they should be projected back to the Classic Maya.
