Archaeologist Lisa Lucero has been investigating at the Maya site of
Yalbec in Belize. She now believes that Maya rulers were not the only
people sponsoring and building Late Classic temples. Nobles, priests
and commoners may have built temples. This may be why there are many
temples in most centers. Temples were built by different agents to
worship different gods and represent different parts of Maya society
Lucero now believes.

Lucero's latest findings are detailed in the journal Latin American
Antiquity in an article titled "Classic Maya Temples, Politics, and
the Voice of the People."
