The construction and transformation of identity at Iximche was investigated using ethnohistoric sources and theoretical concepts derived from landscape archaeology. In addition, oxygen isotope compositions of tooth enamel from sacrificial victims recovered at Iximche's ceremonial centre were used to examine the geographic identities of these particular individuals. Significant aspects of the natural, built and imagined landscapes are used to interpret the isotopic data and provide new understanding of community and individual identity at the Late Postclassic period site.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
