Exploring the Societal Effects of Settled Agriculture in the Classical Mayan Era

This resource delves into the societal side effects of settled agriculture during the Classical Age (300-900 C.E.) in the Yucatan Peninsula, particularly through the lens of Mayan civilization. Students will create a cause-and-effect map identifying three significant societal ramifications, including shifts in social hierarchy, architecture developments, and advancements in astronomy and mathematics, culminating in the Civilizational Collapse around 900 C.E. This study emphasizes the interplay of agriculture, societal structure, and environmental challenges faced by the Mayans.
