Their subjects include the drumming and generative categories of ancient Andean funeral processions, the changing meanings of daily performances at Catalhoyuk, Urartian political images of performance, the social and political complexities of dance and impersonation amongst the classical Maya, the causes and effects of religious dancing rituals in the prehistoric North American Southwest, the link between politics and theatrical behavior in Mayan society, onstage replications of Inca power, the acts of exclusion and integration that shaped ancient Egyptian public ceremonies, and the use of sight and sound as symbols of the sovereignty of the early Merina state.
