"A much-needed example of complete archaeological study from which a richly textured history of an ancient community can be understood."
--Nicoletta Maestri, About.com

"I recommend the book to true Mayanists and look forward for the next stage of debates on social, political and historical issues in Maya archaeology."
--IMS Explorer

"A very unusual take on Maya studies… In a pleasant, matter-of-fact way, the editors consider Maya society in the same way we look at Ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, or China." "A vital book."
--Book News

"Features synthetic but also data-rich chapters from a wide variety of specialists."
--Antiquity

"Foias, Emery, and their colleagues are to be applauded. Motul de San José joins a group of edited volumes published in recent years that offer state-of-the-art synthetic overviews of the archeology of a site or region in the Maya area...among these volumes Motul de San José is remarkable in the range of data presented and the syntheses attempted."
--Journal of Anthropological Research

"Superb… an invaluable work replete with the richness and variety present in Late Classic Maya society."
--Current Anthropology
