The northern Maya region of the Yucatan Peninsula has been the site of urban development for over 1,000 years. Some of the greatest Precolumbian cities in the New World were built in the area and today the Yucatan peninsula still hosts a vibrant Maya culture. The Yucatan peninsula is therefore a place rich in history, and the exceptional preservation of many of its Precolumbian cities provides excellent opportunity for art historical and archaeological study. Unfortunately, however, study of the region has too often been eclipsed by research dedicated to Maya cities in Chiapas, Mexico, the Peten of Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize. In response to the relative lack of information we have for Postclassic (12th through 16th centuries) urbanism in Yucatan, the present study focuses on the influential city of Mayapan. Located in the interior of the peninsula, Mayapan rose to power in the 13 th century and fell roughly seventy years before the Spanish arrived. It was the most powerful Maya city of its day with extensive trading networks reaching as far as Guatemala, the Gulf Coast and central Mexico. Mayapan's urban identity is marked by such internationalism, especially in the city's ritual core. There, structures and art reference both Maya and central Mexican worlds. Its major buildings, for example, are close copies of those at earlier Maya centers and many of its murals and sculptures are similar to those from central Mexican cities. However, Mayapan was far more than a reference to other places. It was, instead, a center into which outside elements were anchored and physically bound. As this dissertation explores, it was the landscape upon and through which Mayapan was built that ultimately dictated Mayapan's urban design and formalized the city's visual identity.
