My thesis focuses on the simple lattice or cross-stitch motif that is present throughout the design program at the Classic Maya site of Uxmal. I use the Nunnery Quadrangle building group to address imposed gender association that have evolved during its study. I argue that the layering of craft practices referenced in the facades' making have been under-considered and point to an alternative interpretation of Classic Maya gender and relationships that call Western-derived gender categories and power structures into question.
