"Anthropomorphizing the Cosmos explores the sociocultural significance of more than three hundred Middle Preclassic Maya figurines uncovered at the site of Nixtun-Ch'ich' on Lake Petén Itzá in northern Guatemala.

Rice engages with a broad swath of theory and comparative data on Maya ritual practice"--Provided by publisher.
