The Terminal Classic in the Maya Lowlands: Collapse, Transition, and Transformation, ed. Arthur Demarest, Prudence Rice and Don Rice, 2004

et al. 1995; May Hau et al. 1990). At its peak during the Classic period, the territory under the direct control of the k’uhul kan ajawob, as the kings of the Calakmul polity were known, extended over an area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers (Figure 9.1; DomÃnguez Carrasco et al. 1997; Folan 1988; Marcus 1973, 1976). In fact, the kingdom of Calakmul was at least as large in area and population as any other Late Classic state of the central Maya lowlands, including Tikal (Fletcher and Gann 1992; Folan 1988).

was conducted during the period from November 1978 to August 1979.
As specified in the contract, the project area is contained within
the boundaries of the Fire Island National Seashore which is limited to a stretch of barrier beach approximately thirty-two miles long between Fire Island Inlet on the west and Moriches Inlet on the
east (Fig. 1).
The aim of the study is to provide infonnation about the history of the project area, to indicate the archeological, architectural
and historic resources in the Fire Island National Seashore and to make reconmendations, when applicable, for specific intensive cultural resource studies. The inventory of known cultural resources and
zones of potential archeological resources can be consulted by the National Park Service in the evaluation of the impact of proposed construction projects or land modification activities.
En este articulo se resumen las caracteristicas mas generales de cada periodo de la secuencia arqueol6gica de Gran Nicoya, con base en un esquema cronol6gico revisado y una nueva nomenclatura. Se estiman los limites geograficos de las desarrollos culturales ocurridos en cada periodo. Otras categorias de datos discutidas son: subsistencia, patrones de asentamiento, organizaci6n sociodemografica, contactos foraneos , ceramica y litica. Se incluyen, ademas, recomendaciones e hip6tesis que sirvan de referencia hacia futuros investigaciones en Gran Nicoya .
