  • 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).

  • Architectural Survey at Chichen Itza
    ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY AT CHICHEN ITZA George F. Andrews University of Oregon 1 z SITE: CHICHEN ITZA NUMBER; 16Qd(9):l DATE: 1991 BACKGROUND Although Chichen Itza is assumed to have been seen by the Spanish conquistadores as early as 1528 and several of its buildings were described by Bishop Landa (1566), its history as far as architecture is concerned properly begins with Stephens' and Catherwood's visit to the site in 1842. They were followed by Charnay (1860, 1882), LePlongeon (1879, etc.), Maudslay (1889-1902, 1906, 1910), Breton (1900-1904), and E. Seler (t^iT ). Commencing in the early 19205, the Carnegie Institution of Washington initiated a series of excavation and restoration projects at the site which involved a large number of individuals, including Jean Chariot, S.G. Morley, Earl Morris, Karl Ruppert, P.S. Martin, Gustav Stromsvik, J.R. Bolles, R.T. Smith, Oliver Ricketson, H.E.D. Pollock, J.E.S. Thompson, George Vaillant, and R. Wauchop. Overlapping with the work of this group were a number of restoration projects carried out under the auspices of INAH, Mexico. More recent studies have been carried out by Thompson (1945), Ruppert (1952), Tozzer (1957), Cohodas (1978), Lincoln (1986) and others. I first visited the site in 1960 but the bulk of my architectural data was recorded in 1973, 1981, and 1983. Because the present report is concerned primarily with the architecture at Chichen Itza, the references cited above do not include the names of those who have focussed their attention on the art, ceramics, "Toltec" and/or "Itza" historical relationships, and other areas of specialization.

  • An Example of Early Architecture at Chichen Itza
    80 THE SUBSTRUCTURE OF THE STUCCOS (5C4-I): AN EXAMPLE OF EARLY ARCHITECTURE AT CHICHEN ITZA José F. Osorio Keywords: Maya archaeology, Mexico, Yucatan, Chichen Itza, Initial Series Group, architecture, stucco-modeled figures, Preclassic period As part of the investigations conducted by the Chichen Itza Archaeological Project in the Initial Series Group, the exploration and integral restoration of Structure 5C4 or Temple of the Initial Series proved particularly important. The building gave its name to this group, located south of the Nuns Complex. The structure is located in the northeast section of the leveling that corresponds to this group. Little more than 100 years have passed since the first excavation works in this structure, and to this day, different explorations and restorations have taken place, up to where evidence permitted. Since 1998 and to our days, this structure has been the object of continued investigations, giving way to the discovery of four occupational phases very well defined in the building, of which the first corresponds to the earliest occupation of the group and is up to now the oldest architectural evidence found at the site. Throughout all these years, it was possible to define the total distribution of the group, as well as the interaction between the main buildings that integrate this residential and public complex, that no doubt belonged to some dominant lineage of the local society. BACKGROUNDS The first evidence of the building was provided by Edward Thompson, following his discovery of the lintel with the date of the Initial Series during the excavation of the upper temple of the mound.

  • 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.
