An exhaustive analysis of political and economic change right through the sequence of Maya civilization, based on the direct evidence of chipped stone assemblages from a wide variety of contexts in two regions. The acquisition of raw materials, the production of tools, and the use of tools are all fully considered for what they can tell us about long-distance political and economic relations and local economic organization. An unexpected bonus of the study was information on the use of chipped stone in warfare. The full dataset is provided electronically. Complete text in English and Spanish.

Una antigua leyenda cuenta la historia de un lugar llamado Cámara Averna, situada en las entrañas de la tierra, cientos de metros por debajo de una iglesia. La leyenda cuenta que dicha cámara está llena de tesoros, uno de los cuales, la Llave del Averno, sirve para abrir una de las puertas del infierno hacia la tierra. La mayoría de quienes conocían la historia creían que se trataba sólo de un mito, hasta que una serie de extraños decesos empieza a llamar la atención de la Policía de Investigaciones y de miembros del arzobispado de Santiago. "Cámara Averna" es una nivola (novela breve) en que los protagonistas luchan desde sus trincheras para acabar con un enemigo que en un principio parecía estar radicado en una comunidad ecológica que ocultaba en sus filas a un grupo de seguidores del demonio, pero que luego revela su verdadero trasfondo.
