The Great Maya center of Tikal in Guatemala is famous for its
well-preserved architecture. This book presents detailed descriptions of
a selection of unexcavated standing structures in the forests around the
site center that complement the Museum's Architectural Survey conducted
from 1960 to 1970. The survey produced measured drawings--plans,
sections, elevations, and details--supplemented by descriptive text and
quantitative tables for each structure. All structures are vaulted, and
some are major works.
TR 23 A is the primary record of important parts of Tikal's urban
landscape, with clear, precise, and usable architectural analyses for
Mayanists, archaeologists, art historians, architectural historians,
urbanists, and those interested in construction techniques and in uses
of Maya buildings.
