Abstract
AbstractThe idea of collective or social memory is explored in this paper as a way to understand ancient Maya ritual behavior. The theoretical characteristics of collective memory are defined and a strategy to operationalize the theory of collective memory using archaeological remains is presented.

Finally, the social motivations that underlie this behavior are examined.
