  • 11 Archaeological Salvage and Restoration at Corozal
    11 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SALVAGE AND RESTORATION AT COROZAL TORRE AND NARANJITO, PETÉN Varinia Matute Raúl Noriega Keywords: Maya archaeology, Guatemala, Petén, Corozal Torre, Naranjito, Quemada Corozal, restoration, looting Guatemala is a land rich in archaeological relics, spread throughout the entire national territory. In certain areas concentrations are larger, and range from small residential settlements and modest ceremonial groups, to massive cities such as Tikal, Naranjo, Mirador, Río Azul and many others. Petén could be placed among the regions with the largest concentration of archaeological sites, most of which have not been documented so far, while the presence of abundant additional examples lost in the dense forest or within plots and rural establishments throughout the territory, still remain to be discovered (Figures 1 and 2). Figure 1. Location of the area of study on a general map. 1 The Instituto de Antropología e Historia, through the “Archaeological Sites from Northeastern Petén Protection Program” is currently conducting works at three monumental sites –Yaxha, Nakum and Naranjo-; in addition, the organization of the Project includes other components, such as an Intersite Program and a Salvage Program. Here, we shall refer only to the results achieved to this day by the Salvage Program. The primary purpose of this effort is to create a regional coverage of the built patrimony, by documenting sites and buildings, and by assessing the different degrees of deterioration to further come forth with an intervention proposal, be it for the completion of preventive conservation works, or else for accomplishing permanent interventions that will help stabilizing the buildings. To this day, the Salvage Program has recorded over 100 archaeological sites, with schematic maps that record looting trenches and damages suffered by the visible architecture and a modest photographic record (Figure 2).

ABSTRACT Guatemala has many archaeological sites from pre-colombian times. This characteristic creates a paradoji- cal and complex situation to Guatemala as a society. On one side, there exists a feeling of proud when sites like Tikal, Mirador or Yaxha are mentioned, but on the other side, also exits uncertainty on private lands due to the fear for expropriation from the State when archaeological sites occur in their terrain. Different forms for cultural preservation are presented and how this has developed through time in Guatemala.

The analysis suggests a pattern of production in which unslipped utilitarian vessels, slipped serving vessels, and Mars Orange fine paste serving vessels were produced using different paste recipes. While unslipped utilitarian vessels and slipped serving vessels may have been produced and consumed locally, Mars Orange fine paste serving vessels were likely produced in or around Holtun but consumed more widely. Results of this research suggest the Late Middle Preclassic-period ceramic economy at Holtun was characterized by incipient specialized production, and exchange of at least one ceramic ware.

  • Refflectance Transformation Imaging: Documenting Incised Graffiti in the Maya Lowlands
    REFFLECTANCE TRANSFORMATION IMAGING: DOCUMENTING INCISED GRAFFITI IN THE MAYA LOWLANDS by RACHEL GILL B.A. Boston University, 2016 A thesis submitted 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 Spring Term 2018 ABSTRACT In the late 19th century, explorers identified graffiti etched in stucco walls of residences, palaces, and temples in the Maya Lowlands. By the mid-20th century, scholars acknowledged that the ancient Maya produced these incised images. Today, archaeologists struggle with documenting these instances of graffiti with precision and accuracy, often relying solely on to- scale line drawings to best represent the graffitied image they see before them. These images can be complex, multilayered, and difficult to see so identifying the sequence of creation of the incisions can be challenging. Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) is a method that uses a moving light source and photography in order to visualize, interact with, and analyze a three- dimensional object in a two-dimensional image. Performed on a series of 20 unique graffiti from the Maya archaeological site of Holtun, RTI showed promise as a viable technique for documenting and preserving graffiti as cultural heritage and for providing new information about an enigmatic aspect of Maya archaeology. Additionally, RTI is compared to other common methods used to document incised graffiti in the Maya lowland area including to-scale line drawing, tracing, photogrammetry, and scanning to show the new and unique information and data that can be gathered from this method.
