Postclassic Societies and its Architecture: El Rey, Quintana Roo
Sebastiaan Roeling

Conclusion

The evidence found at El Rey suggests that living in a society of the New Economy brought the possibility of economical and personal development for the inhabitants of Postclassic settlements. A poor descent did not necessarily mean a poor future. They were living in a society where some people had more chances than others, but where it was possible to climb the social ladder with hard work and a keen sense of business. The architectural remains make El Rey an important settlement of the New Economy.
