The Great Maya center of Tikal, in Guatemala, is famous for its
well-preserved architecture. This book presents descriptions of nine
structures that line the Plaza of the Seven Temples, which sits
immediately west of the South Acropolis of Central Tikal. These
structures were surveyed with little or no excavation as part of the
Tikal Project Standing Architecture Survey. This report is the primary
record of these structures in Tikal's urban landscape, and it provides
clear, precise, and usable architectural analyses for Mayanists,
archaeologists, art historians, architectural historians, urbanists, and
those interested in construction techniques and in the uses of Maya
buildings.
