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.

The carved monuments of the Toledo and Stann Creek Districts of southern Belize are perhaps one of the least understood corpuses in the entire Maya Lowlands and are best known today because of their unusual style of hieroglyphic syntax and iconographic themes. Recent archaeological and epigraphic evidence now suggests that this region may have played a critical role in the overall development, expansion, and decline of Classic Maya civilization (see Dunham et al.

  • Mapping Environmental Services in Highland Guatemala Public Disclosure Authorized
    PES Learning Paper 2007-4 Mapping Environmental Services in Highland Guatemala Public Disclosure Authorized Stefano Pagiola, Wei Zhang, and Ale Colom Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized December 2007 Public Disclosure Authorized Latin America and Caribbean Sustainable Development Department World Bank Washington DC, USA Abstract This paper uses data from Guatemala to map areas that are important for the provision of indirect ecosystem services—services whose benefits are enjoyed at some distance from the ecosystem that provides them, such as watershed services (enjoyed downstream) or biodiversity conservation (enjoyed globally). These services are usually externalities from the perspective of land users, and so tend to be under-provided. Mapping the areas that supply such services links the supply and demand of ecosystem services in a spatially explicit way, allows the identification and prioritization of areas of conservation interest. Authors Stefano Pagiola is senior environmental economist and Wei Zhang is consultant in the Environment Department, World Bank. Ale Colom is an independent consultant. Keywords Environmental services, mapping, watershed, biodiversity, Guatemala Acknowledgements Work on this paper was financed in part by a grant from the Norwegian Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development. The opinions expressed in this paper are the authors’ own and do not necessarily represent those of the World Bank Group or the Government of Norway. Cover photo Volcán del Fuego, Guatemala (Stefano Pagiola). PES Learning Papers PES Learning Papers draw on the World Bank’s extensive experience in supporting programs of Payments for Environmental Services (PES). They are part of a larger effort by the World Bank to provide open access to its research and make a contribution to development policy discussions around the world.

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.

  • 6 Dispersión Y Estructura De Las Ciudades Del Sureste De Petén, Guatemala
    6 DISPERSIÓN Y ESTRUCTURA DE LAS CIUDADES DEL SURESTE DE PETÉN, GUATEMALA Juan Pedro LAPORTE Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala Recientemente se viene formando un nuevo plano arqueológico del de- partamento de Petén en Guatemala, una de las zonas más importantes para el estudio de la cultura maya prehispánica. Las amplias zonas que aŭn no han sido reconocidas en la bŭsqueda del asentamiento arqueológico dejan entrever grandes lagunas y muestran abiertamente que nos falta mucho por conocer de este territorio antes de exponer modelos teóricos que conduzcan hacia inter- pretaciones conclusivas acerca del asentamiento y el consecuente urbanismo Maya, con lo cual la mejor táctica es la cautela y el planteamiento objetivo de la información. La actividad de reconocimiento arqueológico llevada a cabo durante la pasa- da década en las Tierras Bajas de Petén y Belice ha demostrado que el tipo de asentamiento que caracteriza al territorio es uno que refiere a m ŭltiples nŭcleos, muy diferente a aquel que por lo general se ha presentado con base en las ciuda- des mayores bien estructuradas que dominaban amplias zonas periféricas com- puestas por asentamientos de composición dispersa, en donde no existían otros nŭcleos que pudieran ser considerados como urbanos. Aunque algunos investigadores prefieren pensar que este nuevo fenómeno de asentamiento está ligado solamente con zonas consideradas periféricas, lo cierto es que la extraordinaria dispersión y la propia estructura intema de las poblacio- nes que se desarrollan en tales áreas periféricas apuntan más bien hacia un fenó- meno específico dentro de la organización politica y social que define a tales re- giones desde el asentamiento formativo.
