We are very appreciative of Patricia McAnany’s and Sarah Newman’s responses to our article. Their thoughtful comments challenge us to clarify and extend our thinking on this topic. Additionally, the meaningful intersections between our work and McAnany’s and Newman’s significant research contributions to the field of Maya studies point towards several important areas that need to be grappled with further. In our reply, we focus on three thematic areas, while also incorporating specific responses to some (though, for reasons of space, not all) of the comments and critiques raised by McAnany and Newman. We organize our response around three vignettes. These brief scenes provide openings for discussion of issues raised by the commenters, related to three questions: Are we ‘countermapping’ in the sense that it is widely understood? To what extent does our undertaking successfully frame dynamic, relational, or multiple knowledge in productive, non-binary ways? And, how do we position the impact of this work, and, in particular, our methodological choices? 1. WHAT ARE WE DOING?

“所有这些岩石……都在互相交谈”：考古学家工作的三个场景

我们非常感谢 Patricia McAnany 和 Sarah Newman 对我们文章的回应。他们深思熟虑的评论挑战我们澄清和扩展我们对这个话题的思考。此外，我们的工作与 McAnany 和 Newman 对 Maya 研究领域的重要研究贡献之间有意义的交叉点指向了需要进一步解决的几个重要领域。在我们的答复中，我们专注于三个主题领域，同时还结合了对 McAnany 和 Newman 提出的一些（但由于篇幅原因，并非全部）评论和批评的具体回应。我们围绕三个小插曲来组织我们的回应。这些简短的场景为评论者提出的问题提供了讨论的机会，涉及三个问题：我们是不是在被广泛理解的意义上“反制图”？我们的事业在多大程度上以富有成效的、非二元的方式成功地构建了动态的、相关的或多元的知识？而且，我们如何定位这项工作的影响，尤其是我们的方法选择？1. 我们在做什么？
