It also highlights how the acceptance of a contested history is the first step in envisioning a shared future under the banner of reconciliation.” The finest museums in La Antigua Guatemala are found at the Paseo de los Museos inside the Hotel Casa Santo Domingo. The Colonial Museum, the Silver Museum, the pre-Columbi- an & Modern Glass Museum, exhibits at the Marco Antonio Quiroa Galleries, and the Archaeology exhibit are part of this spectacular visit, as are two crypts–one complete with a mu- ral painting–and much more. The Colegio de Santo Tomás, owned by the University of San Carlos of Guatemala, is also part of the Paseos, or Promenade. The Q48 per person admis- sion is well worth a visit and allows for plenty of time to enjoy a very pleasant surprise. The first exhibits opened at the Colonial Museum in 2000 and other museums followed. When Philippe Malgouyres, 16 from the Louvre Museum in Paris, visited Guatemala in July 2013, he noted that two of the finest Guatemalan colonial sculptures are found at the Paseo. One is the baby Jesus sculp- ture (photo, left center) on the second floor of the Museo Colonial which received a 9 out of a 10 rating worldwide. It is made out of cedar, covered with a fine coat of plaster, special paint and varnish. The detail and glass eyes are exquisite and show how Guatemalan colonial sculpture–after 1650–is the finest in Spanish America! While little has been written about Guatemalan colonial silver works, Guatemala also surpasses other Spanish American countries with some of the finest workmanship and design. Josefina Alonso de Rodríguez (1979) put together a detailed list of Guatemalan colonial silver artists who created religious works beginning in the 16th century. The Guatemalan High- lands near Quetzaltenango were also a center for silver artists who created chandeliers, lecterns, crowns for sculptures, mon- strances and chalices to mention a few items. Guatemalans from various backgrounds–blacks, Maya, the racially mixed and “Spanish,” many of whom were born in Guatemala–cre- ated lovely religious works of art for the colonial homes and churches.

    Instituto Politécnico de Tomar – Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Departamento de Geologia da UTAD – Departamento de Território, Arqueologia e Património do IPT) Master Erasmus Mundus em QUATERNARIO E PRÉ-HISTÓRIA Dissertação final: LAS OFRENDAS DE COTZUMALGUAPA, GUATEMALA, EN EL CLÁSICO TARDÍO (650/700-1000 d.C.) ERIKA MAGALI GÓMEZ GONZÁLEZ Orientador: Prof. Davide Delfino Co-Orientador: Dr. Oswaldo Chinchilla Júri: Ano académico 2010/2011 RESUMEN Se estudió un conjunto de artefactos que conforman las ofrendas de las estructuras y espacios de patios, de un conjunto arquitectónico descubierto en las inmediaciones del sitio El Baúl, localizado en la Zona arqueológica de Cotzumalguapa, departamento de Escuintla, Guatemala. Las 21 ofrendas tratadas, constituyen el primer hallazgo relativamente masivo de este tipo, localizado en esta zona, gracias a las excavaciones realizadas por el Proyecto Arqueológico Cotzumalguapa durante los años 2002, 2006 y 2007. Aquellas son manifestaciones de los comportamientos rituales de una parte de la sociedad costeña del sur, durante el periodo Clásico Tardío (650/700-1000 d.C.). Estos objetos habían sido tratados en forma breve en un artículo reciente (Méndez y Chinchilla s.f.). Sin embargo, la presente investigación se concentró en ciertos aspectos del propio contexto y en su comparación con los de otras áreas, para tratar de entender la intencionalidad de los depósitos. Existe variedad en los artefactos componentes de cada ofrenda. Se trata entonces de objetos de cerámica, en su mayoría vasijas, de servicio y en menor cantidad hay formas utilitarias, además de una figurilla. También hay objetos de obsidiana, exceptuando un núcleo prismático todos los demás son navajas prismáticas.
