Los grupos mayas actuales conservan una riqueza de conocimientos para manejar y utilizar los recursos naturales de su entorno y de prácticas y sistemas para la producción. El acercamiento a sus formas de vida nos permitió aproximarnos al entendimiento de las Estrategias autóctonas de apropiación de un ecosistema tropical que aplicaron los habitantes de Oxtankah, ya que las investigaciones arqueológicas demuestran su permanencia en la ciudad donde desarrollaron su cultura por más de 1500 años.
La ciudad de Oxtankah desempeñó un papel crucial sociopolítico establecido por las comunidades en la porción sur del actual estado de Quintana Roo, con lo cual se concluye que sus habitantes lograron un alto grado de sustentabilidad ecológica que les permitió diversificar la economía local, basada en la explotación de recursos marinos, costeros y lacustres, al igual que en la agricultura, recolección, cacería, apicultura y producción de sal, entre otros.

How did the breakdown of Roman rule in the Iberian Peninsula eventually result in the formation of a Visigothic kingdom with authority centralised in Toledo? This collection of essays challenges the view that local powers were straightforwardly subjugated to the expanding central power of the monarchy. Rather than interpret countervailing events as mere 'delays' in this inevitable process, the contributors to this book interrogate where these events came from, which causes can be uncovered and how much influence individual actors had in this process. What emerges is a story of contested interests seeking cooperation through institutions and social practices that were flexible enough to stabilise a system that was hierarchical yet mutually beneficial for multiple social groups. By examining the Visigothic settlement, the interplay between central and local power, the use of ethnic identity, projections of authority, and the role of the Church, this book articulates a model for understanding the formation of a large and important early medieval kingdom.
The first work to address the end of Roman Hispania and the emergence of Medieval Spain from a principally archaeological perspective
