Copy Link : https://site.bookcenterapp.com/YUMPU/1611329981 Book Synopsis : The conventional wisdom says that the devolution of Classic Maya civilization occurred because its population grew too large and dense to be supported by primitive neotropical farming methods, resulting in debilitating famines and internecine struggles. Using research on contemporary Maya farming techniques and important new archaeological research, Ford and Nigh refute this Malthusian explanation of events in ancient Central America and posit a radical alternative theory. The authors-show that ancient Maya farmers developed ingenious, sustainable woodland techniques to cultivate numerous food plants (including the staple maize)-examine both contemporary tropical farming techniques and the archaeological record (particularly regarding climate) to reach their conclusions-make the argument that these ancient techniques, still in use today, can support significant populations over long periods of time.

DESCRIPTION

The Maya Forest Garden: Eight Millennia of Sustainable Cultivation of the Tropical Woodlands (New

Frontiers in Historical Ecology)

The conventional wisdom says that the devolution of Classic Maya civilization occurred because its

population grew too large and dense to be supported by primitive neotropical farming methods, resulting

in debilitating famines and internecine struggles. Using research on contemporary Maya farming

techniques and important new archaeological research, Ford and Nigh refute this Malthusian explanation

of events in ancient Central America and posit a radical alternative theory. The authors-show that ancient

Maya farmers developed ingenious, sustainable woodland techniques to cultivate numerous food plants

(including the staple maize)-examine both contemporary tropical farming techniques and the

archaeological record (particularly regarding climate) to reach their conclusions-make the argument that

these ancient techniques, still in use today, can support significant populations over long periods of time.
