Not only were they placed under the domination of a people uninterested in their ancient ways, but their religion was proscribed, they were removed from their familiar settlements into new areas. --- In spite of these ordeals the Maya have clung closely to the old ways --- ***Topics discussed include Putun Maya expansion in Yucatan and the Pasion drainage, the depopulation of the Maya central area at the time of the Conquest on account of newly introduced diseases, the location of the controversial eastern boundary of the Maya area, trade relations between the highlands and the lowlands, the use of hallucinatory drugs and tobacco, lowlands Maya religion, and the creation myths of the Maya in relation to those of other Middle American cultures. ---***---.
