The Maya Materialization of Time, Synthesis of Themes

Abstract.  This is the fourth Maya Working Group session and the second one focused on the materialization of time. As outlined in the report on the February 2015 meeting of the Maya Working Group, all of the participants wished to meet a second time to present draft chapters on their investigations of this theme and to advance syntheses and conclusions on this fundamentally important matter in our discipline. The rationale for this theme and the remarkable enthusiasm of the participants in pursuing it are expanded on below and detailed in the summary report of the 2015 meeting.
