Lentz Sheryl Luzzadder-Beach Vernon L. Scarborough Michael P. Smyth Historia paleoclimate Maya lowlands maya archaeology An expanding array of data is becoming available on past climate changes affecting the Maya Lowlands region. We examine the strengths and weaknesses of these data sets, both in terms of identifying general trends and specific events. We then use these data to develop a model based on adaptive cycles that addresses both environmental and cultural changes that occurred in the Terminal Preclassic and the Terminal Classic periods in several areas of the Maya Lowlands. In particular, we compare the variable experiences and trajectories of several ancient communities located in the elevated interior region with others situated on lower elevation coastal plains. In general, communities in lower elevation areas proved more resilient to environmental and cultural perturbations than those in the higher elevation interior 2013 artículo científico 0719-2681 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=371334532011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3713 Diálogo Andino.
