Work Creator notes (display):
Refers to the style and culture of a group of Meso-American Indians occupying a nearly continuous territory in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and northern Belize. The ancient Maya settled in villages by ca. 1500 BCE. They used advanced irrigation technology to become successful agriculturalists. Their art included ceramics, sculpture, architecture, murals, and books. Modern Maya people produce art that combines traditional patterns with Spanish forms and stye. (AAT)

Work Creator Multiple Roles (display):
References in Maya and central Mexican historical sources identify those responsible for these artistic innovations as the Toltecs and/or the Itzá. The Toltec arrival was traditionally ascribed to a date in the Long Count system corresponding to CE 968–987, and Toltec–Maya architecture was thought to postdate the Puuc-style Chichén–Maya buildings at the site. More recent scholarship, however, indicates that some Toltec–Maya traits may have appeared at the site by CE 900 and thus chronologically overlap the Chichén–Maya style. Ultimately, creator attribution could be considered uncertain. (Oxford Art Online, "Chichén Itzá")
