PS: info or links on the "Maya hiatus"? I found this:

    This boundary is associated with the "Maya Hiatus", which lasted between 530 and 630 AD. The Maya Hiatus was marked by a sharp decline in monument carving, abandonment in some areas and social upheaval. This event may have been drought-related. During the next 200 years from 600 to 800 AD, the late Classic Maya flourished and reached their cultural and artistic apex.

Do we know anything else really?
