Abstract

As numerous newspaper and magazine articles testify, U.S. public interest in the pre-Hispanic Maya of southeastern Mesoamerica is currently at an all-time high. This is attributable in large part to several recent traveling exhibitions of Maya art. The latest of these exhibitions, by far the most lavish and well promoted and therefore the most influential of the series, has generated considerable controversy among Mesoamericanists. It has done this by either explicitly or implicitly taking a position on several major scholarly and ethical issues that are today of great concern not only to Mayanists but to all scholars studying Mesoamerican art and history.
