This dissertation research is a comparative study of how those Maya communities associated with the archaeological zones, Chunchucmil and Chichen Itza, negotiate and experience their roles, meanings, and claims over archaeological patrimony in the context of the implementation of cultural heritage policy by national institutions, foreign archaeological projects, and international government organizations. Through ethnographic description of Maya conceptions of space, property, and ownership, the juridical establishment and regulation of archaeological zones, and the recent efforts to establish local cultural foundations with international ties, the research considers how current endeavors on the part of archaeologists and local communities to develop and preserve cultural heritage promote "alternative privatizations" of archaeological zones. This study engages the fields of Maya studies and cultural heritage studies, providing baseline criteria by which to comparatively study how Maya communities integrate with the modernizing influences of institutional, scientific, and commercial agencies of regional, national, and international scale. In addition to training a doctoral student in cultural anthropology, the findings of this research will contribute to understanding those factors that enhance or impede efforts to nationalize and/or privatize cultural heritage.

这项论文研究是对这些玛雅社区如何与考古区，Chunchucmil和Chichen Itza相关联的比较研究，在国家机构，外国考古项目和国际政府组织实施文化遗产政策的情况下，谈判并经历了他们对考古遗产的角色，含义以及对考古遗产的主张。 通过民族志志描述太空，财产和所有权的概念，考古区的法律建立和调节，以及最近建立与国际联系的当地文化基础的努力，该研究考虑了考古学家和当地社区的当前努力如何发展和保存文化遗产的“替代私人”的私人化ZONE的替代文化。这项研究参与了玛雅研究和文化遗产研究的领域，提供了基线标准，通过这些标准，可以相对研究玛雅社区如何与地区，国家和国际规模的机构，科学和商业机构的现代化影响融合。 除了培训文化人类学的博士生外，这项研究的结果还将有助于理解那些增强或阻碍文化遗产国有化和/或私有化的因素。
