Excavations in Residential Areas of Tikal--Nonelite Groups Without
Shrines is a two-volume presentation of the excavations carried out in
and near small residential structures at Tikal, Guatemala, beginning in
1961. These reports show that Tikal was more than a ceremonial center;
in addition to its numerous temples, the great Maya city was home to a
large population of people. These volumes look at the residential
structures themselves as well as domestic artifacts such as burials,
ceramic test pits, chultuns.
Tikal Report 20B is primarily analytical in nature, reviewing and
interpreting the data from Report 20A to draw new conclusions about
settlement, demography, and society at Tikal. Together, Tikal Reports
20A and 20B augment the data presented in Tikal Reports 19 and 21.
