Of apples and oranges: the case of E groups and eastern triadic architectural assemblages in the Belize River Valley / Jaime J. Awe, Julie A. Hoggarth, and James J. Aimers.
The founding of Yaxuná: Place and trade in preclassic Yucatán / Travis W. Stanton.

Conclusion: More than smoke and mirrors: Maya temple precincts and the emergence of religious institutions in Mesoamerica / Anne S. Dowd.
Epilogue: E groups and their significance to the ancient maya / Diane Z. Chase, Patricia A. McAnany, and Jeremy A. Sabloff.
"E groups" are not the fifth element but a group of structures in the temple complexes of Classic Maya City centers. In this volume from distinguished researchers of the Classic period, the E groups prove to be more than just records of the sun's passages through the years.
