    Urban, Patricia, Edward Schortman y Marne Ausec 2000 ¿Poder sin límites?: Los acontecimientos políticos durante el Preclásico Medio en el valle de Naco, Honduras. En XIII Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, 1999 (editado por J.P. Laporte, H. Escobedo, B. Arroyo y A.C. de Suasnávar), pp.901-920. Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala (versión digital). 67 ¿PODER SIN LÍMITES?: LOS ACONTECIMIENTOS POLÍTICOS DURANTE EL PRECLÁSICO MEDIO EN EL VALLE DE NACO, HONDURAS Patricia Urban Edward Schortman Marne Ausec Este ensayo investiga la naturaleza de la complejidad socio-política en el Preclásico Medio (1100-400 AC) en el valle de Naco, al noroeste de Honduras. "Complejidad" es un concepto que consiste de variables cuyas expresiones universales están relacionadas diferencialmente en circunstancias históricas específicas (Feinman y Neitzel 1984; McGuire 1983; de Montmollin 1989; Nelson 1995; Roscoe 1993). Aquí se examinan tres de estas variables según su importancia general para modelar la complejidad y nuestra habilidad de dirigir ciertos aspectos de las variables con la información que tenemos de Naco. La centralización política se refiere hasta qué punto el poder, o la capacidad para ordenar las acciones de otros se concentra en las manos de una sola facción (Balandier 1970; Roscoe 1993:113- 114; Webster 1990). Esta variable se mide por la presencia, dimensión y número de estructuras monumentales (plataformas que tienen por lo menos 1.50 m de altura) fechadas al Preclásico Medio, que se encuentran en los sitios de Naco. El recurso de este criterio se basa en la suposición que el poder mueve a los trabajadores para levantar las estructuras asociadas con los gobernantes aspirantes y los estados que ellos anhelan gobernar.

The whole region is characterized by common geomorphologic features, constituting three different natural environments. In the Atlantic east predominates extensive lowlands cut by a multitude of branched rivers. They cover a karstic underground formed by unfolded limestone.

  • Martin Künne Y Matthias Strecker INTRODUCCION De Todas Las Manifestaciones Culturales Que Han Dejado Los Indígenas De México
    Martin Künne y Matthias Strecker INTRODUCCION De todas las manifestaciones culturales que han dejado los indígenas de México y de América Central, los grabados y pinturas rupestres han recibido la menor atención. Aunque las representaciones rupestres pertenecen a los monumentos arqueológicos más visibles, solo raras veces se las incluyó en investigaciones sistemáticas. Desde los primeros informes y noticias de la mitad del siglo XIX se dejó su documentación a menudo a aficionados e investigadores autodidactas. De la misma manera se nota que tampoco la literatura especializada actual toma en cuenta las representaciones rupestres de la región. A pesar de que el recién editado "Handbook of Rock Art Research" (Whitley 2001) comprende cuatro regiones americanas, faltan completamente Mesoamérica y América Central. Por otro lado podemos constatar que muchas documentaciones e informes sobre el arte rupestre centroamericano han sido parciales y hacen difícil una visión del conjunto. Sus enfoques se limitan normalmente a perspectivas descriptivas. Solamente algunas tienen también carácter analítico (A. Stone 1995). Entre los pocos compendios que mencionan representaciones rupestres de México y de América Central están las publicaciones "Rock Art Studies: News of the World I" (Bahn y Fossati 1996) y "Arte Prehistórico de América" (Schobinger 1997). Nuestro libro tiene carácter bibliográfico. Su propósito es ser una guía para la búsqueda de fuentes de información y ofrecer una introducción al estudio sistemático del arte rupestre en el oriente de México y en Centroamérica; ampliando y actualizando la publicación anterior "Rock Art of East Mexico and Central America" (Strecker 1979). Se dirige tanto a especialistas, estudiantes y aficionados como a propietarios o indígenas quienes asuman el rol de "custodios naturales" de sitios con representaciones rupestres.

  • A PRELIMINARY LEXICON of ULÚA MEDALLION MOTIFS a Thesis
    A PRELIMINARY LEXICON OF ULÚA MEDALLION MOTIFS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn Marie Hudson January 2012 © 2012 Kathryn Marie Hudson ABSTRACT The research presented here combines archaeological and linguistic inquiry to develop a preliminary lexical analysis of the subset of iconography that occurs as part of medallion motifs. These elements were part of the iconographic system that was developed and implemented in the Ulúa Valley of Honduras during the Classic Period (c. 300-900 AD). Medallions are an Ulúa iconographic construction in which a central element or set of elements is demarcated by framing features that separate the internal components from other iconographic elements and mark them as a cohesive textual unit. This analysis approaches medallions as a distinct iconographic form and treats the motifs that constitute them as an iconographic subset whose use was governed by rules of textuality. It creates a preliminary lexicon of these motifs and divides them into lexemes that are headed by lemmas so that future studies can more easily attempt to ascertain the rules that governed their structure and their positioning in broader iconographic compositions. The ceramics that constitute the corpus used for this analysis are housed in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. Three hundred and seven pieces were incorporated into the sample set, and each of these has at least one medallion as part of its iconography. A variety of non-medallion motifs are also attested within the iconography of the sample corpus, though these elements are not relevant to the present analysis.

  • 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).

  • I. Editorial on the History of Archaeology by Daniel Schavilzon
    I. Editorial I would like to once again survey the readership about the possbility of adding an additional section to each issue of the BHA concerning the existence and content of newlycreated primary archival collections relating to the history of archaeology. I have heard only from a few readers/contributors in this regard. This section would contain contributions from the readership/contributors in regard to primary archival materials recently housed in repositories both public and private. With the current interest by both public and private funding agencies in preserving the anthropological record, it seems advisable that the BHA should address the creation and announce the location of new primary archival collectionsas they are formed. Through this new section in each issue, the BHA would add another usable source of information that its readership could benefit from. I look forward to any and all communications on this idea.

Discourse on the History of Archaeology The History of Stratigraphic Excavation In LatinAmerican Archaeology: A New Look by Daniel Schavilzon University of Buenos Aires, Introduction: Allow me to do some history of archaeology. In 1984 and jointly with Jaime Litvak King. we organized a congress that gathered at theUNAM. Mexico, with the purpose of paying homage to Ignacio Bemal called ''The History of Archaeology in Mexico." On that occasion my paper raised heated controversies, as it revised the origins of stratigraphy in Mexico, a country in which the image of ManuelGamio was highly respected and admired, while William Holmes. in those days, happened to be a perfect nobody.
