Lindley ii ABSTRACT Iconography encapsulates the cultural knowledge of a civilization. The ancient Maya of Mesoamerica utilized iconography to express ideological beliefs, as well as political events and histories. An ideology heavily based on the presence of an Otherworld is visible in elaborate Maya iconography. Motifs and themes can be manipulated to convey different meanings based on context.

    Foias, Antonia E. y Ronald L. Bishop 1994 El colapso Clásico Maya y las vajillas de Pasta Fina en la región de Petexbatun. En VII Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, 1993 (editado por J.P. Laporte y H. Escobedo), pp.469-489. Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala. 42 EL COLAPSO CLÁSICO MAYA Y LAS VAJILLAS DE PASTA FINA EN LA REGIÓN DE PETEXBATUN Antonia E. Foias Ronald L. Bishop Una teoría prominente sobre el Colapso Clásico Maya de las Tierras Bajas Centrales se refiere a invasiones extranjeras de la región del río Pasión. Clave a esta hipótesis de invasiones extranjeras es un grupo de cerámica llamado vajillas de pasta fina: Gris Fino y Naranja Fino. Se propuso que estas vajillas fueron traídas del área de la Chontalpa por los invasores Putunes (Thompson 1970; Adams 1971, 1973; Sabloff 1973, 1975; Kowalski 1989; Ball y Taschek 1989; Schele y Freidel 1990). Este grupo viajó por el Usumacinta y después por el Pasión donde conquistaron los dos sitios de Ceibal y Altar de Sacrificios. La importancia de estas pastas finas queda entonces como marcador de esta invasión extranjera en las Tierras Bajas Mayas del Oeste. Seguidamente, presentamos nuevos datos sobre estas vajillas (Naranja Fino y Gris Fino) en la región de Petexbatun y discutiremos su significado dentro del problema del colapso en el drenaje del río Pasión. La región Petexbatun se localiza en el suroeste de Petén, Guatemala, entre el río Petexbatun al este, el río Pasión al norte y el río Chixoy-Salinas al oeste (Figura 1). Esta región ha sido el enfoque del Proyecto Arqueológico Regional Petexbatun de la Universidad de Vanderbilt y de la Fundación Mario Dary, bajo la dirección general de Dr.

  • “Charlie Chaplin” Figures of the Maya Lowlands
    RITUAL USE OF THE HUMAN FORM: A CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE “CHARLIE CHAPLIN” FIGURES OF THE MAYA LOWLANDS by LISA M. LOMITOLA B.A. University of Central Florida, 2008 A thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2012 ©2012 Lisa M. Lomitola ii ABSTRACT Small anthropomorphic figures, most often referred to as “Charlie Chaplins,” appear in ritual deposits throughout the ancient Maya sites of Belize during the late Preclassic and Early Classic Periods and later, throughout the Petén region of Guatemala. Often these figures appear within similar cache assemblages and are carved from “exotic” materials such as shell or jade. This thesis examines the contexts in which these figures appear and considers the wider implications for commonly held ritual practices throughout the Maya lowlands during the Classic Period and the similarities between “Charlie Chaplin” figures and anthropomorphic figures found in ritual contexts outside of the Maya area. iii Dedicated to Corbin and Maya Lomitola iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Drs. Arlen and Diane Chase for the many opportunities they have given me both in the field and within the University of Central Florida. Their encouragement and guidance made this research possible. My experiences at the site of Caracol, Belize have instilled a love for archaeology in me that will last a lifetime. Thank you Dr. Barber for the advice and continual positivity; your passion and joy of archaeology inspires me. In addition, James Crandall and Jorge Garcia, thank you for your feedback, patience, and support; your friendship and experience are invaluable.

  • Baking Pot Codex Restoration Project, Belize

Audet Baking Pot Codex Restoration Project, Belize Research Year: 2003 Culture: Maya Chronology: Late Classic Location: Belize Site: Baking Pot Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Section I Discovery of Tomb 2, Baking Pot, Belize Tomb 2 Section II - Harriet Beaubien Excavation of the Artifacts Goals of Conservation and Technical Analysis Description of the Artifacts Goals of the Project Artifact Conservation Stabilization for Transport List of Components Conservation of Artifact R at SCMRE Technical Study of Paint Flakes Paint Layer Composition Ground Layer Composition Painting Technique and Decorative Scheme Indicators of the Original Substrate(s) Preliminary Interpretation of the Artifacts Object Types Contributions to Technical Studies of Maya Painting Traditions List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract During the 2002 field season a decayed stuccoed artifact was uncovered in a tomb at the site of Baking Pot. Initially, we believed that the painted stucco could be the remains of an ancient Maya codex. After funds were secured, Harriet Beaubien traveled to Belize to recover the material and bring it to the Smithsonian Institute for conservation and analysis. After more than a year of painstaking study Beaubien determined that the artifact was not a codex, but rather a number of smaller artifacts, similar in style and composition to gourds found at Cerén, El Salvador. Resumen Durante la temporada 2002, se encontró un artefacto de estuco en mal estado de preservación en una tumba de Baking Pot. En un principio, pensamos que el estuco pintado podrían ser los restos de un códice maya. Una vez asegurados los fondos necesarios, Harriet Beaubien viajó a Belice para recuperar el material y llevarlo al Instituto de Conservación de la Smithsonian para su conservación y análisis.

The Ventrally Placed, Legs Flexed (VPLF) burials at the site of Lamanai in Belize, dating to the Postclassic period (1000 - 1544), have been recorded as a Maya mortuary pattern since the late 1970’s.

  • 16 La Cuenca Del Río Mopan-Belice
    Laporte, Juan Pedro 1996 La cuenca del río Mopan-Belice: Una sub-región cultural de las Tierras Bajas Mayas centrales. En IX Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, 1995 (editado por J.P. Laporte y H. Escobedo), pp.223-251. Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala (versión digital). 16 LA CUENCA DEL RÍO MOPAN-BELICE: UNA SUB-REGIÓN CULTURAL DE LAS TIERRAS BAJAS MAYAS CENTRALES Juan Pedro Laporte Recientemente, el proceso de investigación arqueológica en Guatemala ha llegado a zonas no tradicionales. Son ahora más usuales los trabajos efectuados en las áridas tierras del oriente, en la región de Izabal y la costa del Atlántico. Otro territorio que ha entrado ahora en juego es la sección del sur de Petén, en especial el límite con Belice. A partir de 1987, el Atlas Arqueológico de Guatemala viene desarrollando un programa de reconocimiento en el sureste de Petén, relacionado a los actuales municipios de San Luis, Poptun y Dolores (Figura 1). Este amplio territorio, de más de 5000 km² (se aproxima a 140 km norte-sur y 40 km este-oeste), presenta varios factores de interés para la investigación del asentamiento arqueológico, principalmente la diversidad ambiental y fisiográfica, así como la prácticamente nula exploración de la cual había sido objeto. El trazo de una ruta parcialmente nueva desde Izabal hacia el centro de Petén y los nuevos asentamientos humanos que ha traído consigo el programa de colonización promovido en las últimas décadas, hizo viable el desarrollo de un proyecto arqueológico en un área en donde las ruinas, de tamaño modesto, no son rivales de los inmensos centros del norte de Petén, como Tikal o Uaxactun, en donde, como todos sabemos, se había definido el carácter de la actividad arqueológica Maya, especialmente en Guatemala.
