Good articles that summarize and critique theories of collapse include Marilyn A. Masson, “Maya Collapse Cycles,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 109, no. 45 (2012): 18237–18238 and B. L. Turner and Jeremy A. Sabloff, “Classic Period Collapse of the Central Maya Lowlands: Insights about HumanEnvironment Relationships for Sustainability,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 109, no. 35 (2012): 13908–13914.

The focus on systemic collapse, rather than some particular cause, has deep roots in archaeology. Publications from the 1970s came to similar conclusions, including T. Patrick Culbert, ed., The Classic Maya Collapse. School of American Research Books. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1973).
