Las investigaciones sobre la arqueología maya tradicionalmente iban desarrollándose a través de estudios 'humanísticos' del arte, la arquitectura, la escritura jeroglífica y del Sistema calendárico. En las décadas recientes, sin embargo, tendieron a dominar este campo aproximaciones 'científicas', como lo son los estudios de patrones de población, evaluaciones demográficas, análisis de subsistencia y similares. Aquí sostenemos la tesis de que entre criterios 'humanísticos' y 'científicos' no necesariamente ha de darse una dicotomía y que los dos no entran en conflicto. Las investigaciones mayas recientes más bien demostraron cómo estos dos enfoques convergieron para esclarecer problemas de economía agrícola, contactos externos o foráneos, de ideologías y de organización socio-política.Downloads
