For mammals, the patterns of diversification of Mesoamerican taxa still are controversial. Reasons for this include the region’s complex geologic history, and the relatively recent timing of such geological events.

Hansen Abstract Popular fi lm depictions of varied cultures, ranging from the Chinese, Africans, and Native Americans have repeatedly provided a variant perception of the culture. In works of fi ction, this fl aw cannot only provide us with entertainment, but with insights and motives in the ideological, social, or economic agendas of the authors and/or directors as well as those of the critics. Mel Gibson’s Maya epic Apocalypto has provided an interesting case study depicting indigenous warfare, environmental degradation, and ritual violence, characteristics that have been derived from multidisciplinary research, ethnohistoric studies, and other historical and archaeological investigations. The fi lm received extraordinary attention from the public, both as positive feedback and negative criticism from a wide range of observ- ers. Thus, the elements of truth, public perception, relativism, revisionism, and emic/etic perspectives coalesced into a case where truth, fi ction, and the virtues and vices of the authors and director of the fi lm as well as those of critics were exposed.

  • Population Estimates at the Ancient Maya City of Chunchucmil, Yucatán, Mexico
    Population Estimates at the Ancient Maya City of Chunchucmil, Yucatán, Mexico Aline Magnoni Department of Anthropology Tulane University New Orleans, Louisiana, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper seeks to show how GIS has become an essential tool for the recording,����������������������������������������������������������������� storing, processing, and visualization of the archaeo- logical data collected by Pakbeh Regional Economy Project at the ancient Maya city of Chunchucmil (Yucatán, Mexico). Chunchucmil, located in an agriculturally poor region but at the edge of several ecological zones, grew to become one of the most densely settled cities of the Maya area during the Classic Period (AD 400-650) thriving on commerce and trade. At the apogee of Chunchucmil, people chose to settle close to each other in residential groups delimited by boundary walls over an area of at least 25 km2. In a site where we have recorded more than 6,000 structures, GIS has enormously facilitated calculations for structure and population estimates making GIS an indispensable tool for analysis of such an extensive database. 1 Introduction The Prehispanic Mayan city of Chunchucmil, Yucatán, Curtis et al. 1996; Whitmore et al. 1996).

  • 1Rst Announcement V4
    PIARC International Seminar Risk Management for Highway Infrastructure October 9th to 11th, 2013 Mérida, Yucatán – México First Announcement/Call for Papers Introduction The International Seminar “Risk Management for Highway Infrastructure”, is organized by the World Road Association-PIARC and the Mexican Association of Road Engineering (Asociación Mexicana de Ingeniería en Vías Terrestres-AMIVTAC), in coordination with the government of Yucatán. This Seminar is part of the PIARC Program of International Seminars. Highways are key to the economy of a country. Highway infrastructure is continuously exposed to various natural disasters and phenomena including climate change, as well as man made disasters. In order to contribute to facing this important challenge, the PIARC Technical Committee TC 1.5 “Risk Management” and the Mexican Association of Road Engineering AMIVTAC, have decided to organize the international seminar “Risk Management for Highway Infrastructure”, to share the risk management techniques used around the world to solve this problem. The call for papers seeks submissions that address one or more of the following seminar session topics: 1. Role of risk management in policy development and decision- making. 2. Methodologies and tool for risk assessment and management applied to road operations. 3. Management of emergency situations. 4. Risk and emergency management for combined and large hazards. Objective The main goal of this seminar is to provide a platform for experts to share their experience and discuss topics and challenges related to highway infrastructure risk management. The Seminar is open to international road community members interested in obtaining and sharing knowledge about the best world wide practices in Risk Management for Highway Infrastructure.

  • Where Is Lowland Maya Archaeology Headed?
    Journal of Archaeological Research, Vol. 3, No. L 1995 Where Is Lowland Maya Archaeology Headed? Joyce Marcus 1 This article isolates three important trends in Lowland Maya archaeology during the last decade: (1) increased use of the conjunctive approach, with renewed appreciation of context and provenience; (2) waning use of the label "unique" to describe the Maya; and (3) an effort to use the Lowland Maya as a case study in social evolution. KEY WORDS: Maya archaeology; conjunctive approach; direct historic approach. INTRODUCTION I have been asked to review the last decade of Lowland Maya ar- chaeology and discuss any major trends that can be discerned. The task presents numerous problems, not the least of which is the fact that one has little time to deliberate on data so newly produced. I also do not want to run the risk of extolling current research at the expense of that done by our predecessors. Finally, the volume of literature on Maya archaeology has been increasing so rapidly in recent years that one cannot hope to do more than cite a fraction of it. I have tried to compensate for this by in- cluding a 400-entry bibliography at the end of the review. At least three major trends can be seen in the last decade of Lowland Maya archaeology, and I organize my presentation around them. The first trend is a substantial increase in the integration of multiple lines of evi- dence-in effect, what Walter W. Taylor (t948) called "the conjunctive ap- proach" (Carmack and Weeks, 1981; Fash and Sharer, 1991, Marcus, 1983; Sabloff, 1990).

  • Classic Maya Seaports: Uaymil, North Campeche Coast
    FAMSI © 2003: Rafael Cobos Classic Maya Seaports: Uaymil, North Campeche Coast Research Year: 2001 Culture: Maya Chronology: Terminal Classic Location: Northern Campeche, México Site: Uaymil Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Introduction Uaymil: Historical Background Uaymil: Description of the Structures Ceramics Obsidian Basalt Limestone Chert Shell Conclusion List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract The small settlement of Uaymil is located on an island or petén in the northern part of Campeche. This former seaport is 25 km north/northeast of Jaina and 2.5 km inland from the coast. Over four weeks, between June and July 2001, we mapped the whole island and collected an excellent sample of cultural remains. When we consider how strategic Uaymil’s position was on the north coast of Campeche, its internal layout, and the Terminal Classic period archaeological remains found at the site, all this suggests to us that Uaymil neither functioned as an independent coastal port nor a coastal port dependent on one political capital located inland. Rather, the evidence found at Uaymil suggests that it must have functioned as a trans-shipment station. This is to say that the function of Uaymil was to facilitate the movement of objects and merchandise that would eventually arrive at Chichén Itzá via Isla Cerritos. Apparently, Uxmal—the great capital of the western Maya northern lowlands—also benefited from the specific function that Uaymil carried out at the end of the Classic period. Resumen El pequeño asentamiento de Uaymil se localiza en una isla o petén en la porción norte de Campeche. Este antiguo puerto marino se localiza a 25 km al nor/noreste de Jaina y a 2.5 km tierra adentro desde la actual costa marina.
