A.D. 850-950), GUATEMALA Laura Lucía Gámez Díaz, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This study of domestic ritual and symbolism centers on the ancient Maya kingdom of Yaxha in northeastern Guatemala, during the last part of the Classic period (A.D. 850-950/1000). Classic Maya high- culture functioned within a dynastic cosmology that framed royalty’s power. The central question in this dissertation is ‘how did the non-royal population participate and interact with this dynastic cosmology?’ Exploring some possible ways in which ancient Yaxhaeans participated and interacted with the local dynastic cosmology, I have hypothesized three possible behaviors derived from ethnographic studies: active engagement, resistance, and passive compliance. A comparative study of ritual practices and symbolism in ten residences of different social ranks provides the grounds for the discussion.

I would like to thank Antonia Foias, Matt Moriarty, Arthur Demarest, Tomás Barrientos, Elizabeth Graham, Wendy Teeter, Diane Chase, Arlen Chase, and the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia de Guatemala (IDAEH) for granting permission to analyze the zooarchaeological remains used in this study. I would also like to thank Ann Heatherington, George Kamenov, John Krigbaum and Ben Valentine from the University of Florida for their assistance with the strontium isotope analysis. Appreciation is also extended to the Florida Museum of Natural History (Gainesville, Florida) for providing access to the modern comparative collections used to identify the zooarchaeological assemblages. I am indebted to my superb advisor, Kitty Emery, for her constant patience, support, guidance and friendship throughout my graduate career. Her insights and advice were invaluable. She also generously involved me in her own research projects, which provided not only additional research and museum experience, but also paid employment, which allowed me to continue my graduate studies when other sources of funding were unavailable. I also extend my gratitude to my other committee members Susan deFrance, Susan Milbrath, John Krigbaum and Mel Sunquist for their valuable feedback regarding various aspects of my research.

  • Ruins of Polol and Other Archaeological Discoveries in the Department of Peten, Guatemala
    Mesoweb Publications CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY, NO. 8 RUINS OF POLOL AND OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PETEN, GUATEMALA By CYRUS LONGWORTH LUNDELL With nine plates and four text-figures [Issued March 1934] The 1933 Biological Expedition of the Carnegie Institution and the University of Michigan to the Maya region established its field headquarters in the village of La Libertad in the western portion of the savanna country of the Department of Peten, Guatemala (fig. 1). Archaeological discoveries were made in that region during the course of the botanical explorations and several new sites were located. CHAKANTUN Seven kilometers south of La Libertad evidences of former habitations were encountered in the open country on March 29, 1933. Exploration revealed numerous low mounds, terraces, stone paved plazas and courts extending over an area more than 3 kilometers long (Plate 1a). The remains consist chiefly of stone foundations and floors of round and rectangular structures. The majority of the structures were doubtless of the thatch, pole and stucco type similar to those found in the Maya area today. The site lies south of the aviation field in the San Francisco, Santa Teresa and Chicha Sabanas (fig 2). In the preliminary survey, no stelae were encountered, nor is it probable that such will be found here, since this site is probably to be referred to the New Maya Empire. The mounds and stone remains lying in the open savanna suggest the name Chakantun for the site. In Maya, chakan means savanna, and tun means stone. 2005(1934) Ruins of Polol and Other Archaeological Discoveries in the Department of Peten, Guatemala.

Guenter,b and Phillip J. Wanyerkac aInstitute of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen, Karen Blixens Plads 8, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark bFoundation for Archaeological Research and Environmental Studies, 164 W 400 N, Rupert, Idaho 83350 cDepartment of Criminology, Anthropology, and Sociology, Cleveland State University, 2121 Euclid Ave. RT 932, Cleveland, Ohio 44115 ABSTRACT The importance of emblem glyphs to Maya studies has long been recognized. Among these are emblems that have yet to be conclusively matched to archaeological sites. The Water Scroll emblem glyph is one such example, although it appears numerous times in the Classic Maya written corpus between the sixth and the eighth centuries. These many references are found at a variety of sites across the lowlands, attesting to the importance of this ancient kingdom and the kings who carried this title. In the present paper, we review the epigraphic and archaeological evidence and propose that this may be the royal title of the kings who reigned from Altun Ha, in the east central Maya lowlands, in what is now Belize. In so doing, we also begin to reconstruct the dynastic history of the Water Scroll kings, from the vantage of both local and foreign sources.
