Talk:Mayapan

Untitled

There is an error in the section titled Excavations. It states that John L Stevens made two important drawings in 1841. (The round structure and the Temple of Kukulcan.) Stevens wrote the narrative in the book. [Incidents of travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan] Frederick Catherwood did the illustrations. Michael Jones M. Div. Padremigel@aol.com

This article needs serious revision. It is based (loosely) on ethnohistoric accounts, without regards to the archaeological research. Better treatment of the Carnegie project's work should be included, as well as the most recent work at the site by INAH (under Carlos Peraza), and also by Marilyn Masson of Grinnel College.

Questionable use of Authority Claim

I find Carnegie Institute's dispositions at Yucatan are suspicious in regard of the political history of the institute. What is the local populations impression?

--Xact (talk) 02:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I find your comment difficult to interpret. Are you saying, the results of Carnegie-sponsored investigations ought to be regarded with suspicion and their reliability questioned, on account of some supposed political motive or worldview held or promoted by the Institution? Or....? And what do you intend by 'local population[']s impression'? You'll have to clarify, please...--cjllw ʘ TALK 12:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Article Evaluation

There are viewpoints that are underrepresented. The following categories that are underrepresented are: Agriculture and Animals, Trade, Symbolism and Evidence of Inequality. In order to help the article be balanced in all of the categories, more content needs to be added to each of those categories. In order to help with the credibility of this article numerous links are found throughout the article that are not functional. For example, under the section titled Excavations and Investigations the following links are not functional: Karl Ruppert, H. E. D. Pollock, Ralph L. Roys, Clifford T. Brown, Carlos Peraza Lope and State University New York at Albany. Although this section uses references that help support the claims made within this article, the lack of functional links takes away from the ethos that is trying to be established. By removing the hyperlinks throughout this article that are nonfunctional it would further enhance its credibility. The overview at the beginning of the article lacks a clear summary and layout of the article. Although it gives an overview of the excavations and investigations it does not outline the other core areas, such as trade, that will be explained later on. Another area for improvement within the lead section are citations and reliable sources. Without having either of these elements it immediately takes away from the reliability of the rest of the article. Ashley.spivey2 (talk) 16:57, 7 November 2017 (UTC)Ashley.spivey2

Added Citation

Prior to adding the in-text citation, I evaluated the credibility of the statement. After researching the statement for information to I came to the conclusion that the statement was true. Therefore, I left the statement and simply added a citation that supported the claim being made. This is the source reference:

Pugh, T. W. (2001). Flood reptiles, serpent temples, and the quadripartite universe: The imago mundi of Late Postclassic Mayapan. Ancient Mesoamerica, 12(2), 247-258.
