Inequality, urbanism, and governance at Coba and the Northern Maya Lowlands.
Gini coefficients for residential groups at Coba for roofed surface area, volume of architecture, and houselot space range from 0.423 to 0.551, fitting well within the range of many ancient and modern state-level cities and societies and other Mesoamerican centers. These values are also similar to o...

These values are also similar to other large, Classic period, Northern Lowland cities, such as Dzibilchaltun and Chunchucmil. These data do not support the idea that autocratic regimes exhibit greater wealth inequality. We also failed to find a pattern in which inequality grew over the course of the Classic period. The Lorenz curves for Coba and other sites do not indicate any breaks that would allow households to be sorted into wealth classes. Thus, wealth differences were fluid, continuous, and out in the open, giving these settlements the dynamism and attractiveness that helped them grow into some of the largest and most remarkable ancient Maya cities. Coeficientes Gini para grupos residenciales de Coba para espacio techado, volumen de arquitectura y área del solar abarcan desde 0,423 a 0,551, los cuales caben bien dentro de la gama de muchas ciudades antiguas y modernas y otros centros mesoamericanos. Estos valores son semejantes a dos otras ciudades grandes de la época clásica: Dzibilchaltún y Chunchucmil. Estos datos no apoyan la idea de que regímenes autocráticos exhiben más desigualdad en términos de riqueza. También fallamos en encontrar un patrón en que desigualdad creció en el transcurso de la época clásica. Las curvas de Lorenz de Coba y otros sitios no muestran ningunas quiebras que permitirían la clasificación de unidades habitacionales en grupos arreglados por riqueza. Por lo tanto, diferencias en riqueza estaban fluidas, continuas y, en el sentido de arquitectura, fácil para observar, dando a estos asentamientos el dinamismo y el atractivo que les ayudaron a crecer y convertirse en algunas de las ciudades mayas más grandes y extraordinarias. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2023 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
