Cradled by the hilly Puuc region, Uxmal is "one of the sites in the Puuc region which presents a high degree of social modification of the environment" (7, Architectural Restoration at Uxmal 1986-1987, Rubio and Herrera). The Great Platform is the strongest indicator of this theory. The ground, which has been raised and layered, sits in stark contrast to flatter pieces of ground adapted to different buildings on Uxmal's site.
The Great Platform...social modification...
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellently worded theory. I cannot wait to see what key image you use to accompany this.
