New at FAMSI website--Masters Thesis by Maline Diane Werness:

A series of mini-collapses shook the Maya region during the Terminal Classic 
period (700-900 CE). By the end of the Terminal Classic, inhabitants had 
begun to leave and in some cases had already completely abandoned centers 
throughout the Maya area. A period of general decline ensued, bolstered by 
the decay of many sites that were both geographically and chronologically 
distinct. During this chaotic time of change, Maya potters shifted from 
making polychrome vessels and began producing a unique ceramic type known 
today as Pabellon Molded-Carved.
