- W2737689968 abstract "The burials and burial customs were analysed in order to learn moreabout some social and religious aspects of the Classic lowland Maya.The Maya did not seem to have buried their dead in cemeteries.Instead, burials were made beneath, or adjacent to, their homes. However,buildings that were usually located on the eastern perimeter of residentialplazas were built with the sole intention of housing burials. These arecalled household shrines, and were constructed to accommodate interments ofthe more eminent inhabitants of these plazas. Residents of the most eminentwealth and status had their burial reserved for temples. The burials of 9known, and several suspected, Maya kings have been found in temples. Inalmost every instance of a temple and household shrine burial, some sort ofconstruction, ranging in size from an altar or stair block to an entiretemple, was erected as a memorial. Rituals were then conducted on thesememorials to commemorate the person buried below. This is apparently aform of ancestor worship or veneration. There are so many buildings andconstructions in ceremonial centres associated with interments that, forthe Maya at least, monumental architecture was related to the venerationof ancestors.Evidence also exists for the practice of human sacrifice. Not justone, but four different forms of sacrifice were found. All four may havebeen related to, and involved with, ancestor veneration. This evidenceconfirms recent interpretations about sacrifice that were based on ancientart and iconography.In total, some 20 different burial customs are identified as beingPan Maya. Identification of regional customs was more difficult, andthough a few may exist, they are best considered unusually high or lowinstances of Pan Maya practices." @default.
