Mayan Art Achaeology Links
To aid the visitor interested in pre-Columbian art in general and Mayan art in general this index provides a helpful guide to all the other pages in the web site www.maya-art-books. Covers Mayan pyramids, temples, ballcourts, archaeology, as well as the photography and digital imaging equipment and software that facilitates research and publication on prehispanic civilizations. For additional links on Maya art and archaeology from an additional web site, check out the complete index for www.maya-archaeology.org
