| Izvleček: | The city of Tikal played a pre-eminent role in the Central Lowlands of the Maya area from the beginning of the Classic period until the fall of its dynasty (250-after 869 CE). At the heart of a heterarchical network of city-states, it established itself as a regional capital from the start of the Early Classic period, then as a key actor in the political, cultural, artistic, and commercial spheres. As a major religious center, Tikal’s influence on its vassals, allies by marriage, diplomatic partners, or enemies is assessed using the exhaustive corpus of ritual deposits from 9 regional capitals and 18 secondary centers or satellite sites. As a result, it will be possible to define the modalities of cultural sharing in the religious field, if any: radiating hegemony from Tikal, mutual interpenetration of beliefs and practices, or local traditions without exchanges? |
