For mammals, the patterns of diversification of Mesoamerican taxa still are controversial. Reasons for this include the region’s complex geologic history, and the relatively recent timing of such geological events.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Chapter 8 Relativism, Revisionism, Aboriginalism, and Emic/Etic Truth: The Case Study of Apocalypto Richard D. Hansen Abstract Popular fi lm depictions of varied cultures, ranging from the Chinese, Africans, and Native Americans have repeatedly provided a variant perception of the culture. In works of fi ction, this fl aw cannot only provide us with entertainment, but with insights and motives in the ideological, social, or economic agendas of the authors and/or directors as well as those of the critics. Mel Gibson’s Maya epic Apocalypto has provided an interesting case study depicting indigenous warfare, environmental degradation, and ritual violence, characteristics that have been derived from multidisciplinary research, ethnohistoric studies, and other historical and archaeological investigations. The fi lm received extraordinary attention from the public, both as positive feedback and negative criticism from a wide range of observ- ers. Thus, the elements of truth, public perception, relativism, revisionism, and emic/etic perspectives coalesced into a case where truth, fi ction, and the virtues and vices of the authors and director of the fi lm as well as those of critics were exposed.

  • Site Q: the Case for a Classic Maya Super-Polity
    Site Q: The Case for a Classic Maya Super-Polity Simon Martin 1993 As the historical record left to us by the Classic Maya is slowly pieced together from various epigraphic clues, a single political entity, the state Peter Mathews has dubbed "Site Q", shows an ever greater presence. Over the last few years, and certainly since Mathews' original manuscript discussing Site Q (1979), a great deal of new data has emerged. These come not only from new finds provided by archaeological investigations, but more general advances in epigraphic research that have allowed us to reassess well-known texts, giving a fuller picture of Site Q's place in the political geography of the Classic Period. The original Mayan name of the Site Q polity, expressed in its Emblem Glyph, was Kan "snake". Glyphically, it is usually preceded by the phonetic complement ka and often followed by the nominal ending -al to give K'ul Kanal Ahaw as a full reading for the compound (the suffix is not apparent in all examples and it is not clear whether this is an optional feature or was always read by context). In this, it joins Piedras Negras (Yokib), Yaxha (Yaxha), Palenque (Bak), Caracol (K'an-tu-mak), Pomona (Pakab) and Ucanal (K'an Witz­ Nal) in having a readable ancient name. It is tempting to use Kan or Kanal instead of 'Site Q', since it avoids the difficulty of assigning this Emblem to any single site and will be equally relevant when Site Q is identified and the term becomes redundant, but for this present study I will stick with the Mathews moniker.

  • 30 Explorations at the Site of Nacimiento, Petexbatún, Petén
    30 EXPLORATIONS AT THE SITE OF NACIMIENTO, PETEXBATÚN, PETÉN Markus Eberl Claudia Vela Keywords: Maya archaeology, Guatemala, Petén, Petexbatún, Nacimiento, minor architecture In the 2004 season the archaeological excavations at the site of Nacimiento, in the Petexbatún region, continued. The site of Nacimento, or more precisely, Nacimiento de Aguateca, to make a proper distinction with other sites and towns with the same name, is located approximately 2.5 km south of the site of Aguateca (Figure 1). The hieroglyphic inscriptions of Aguateca and other neighbor sites like Dos Pilas, narrate the history of the Petexbatún region during the Classic period. One crucial event was the entering of the Dos Pilas dynasty in the region in the VII century AD. The Dos Pilas dynasty substituted the dynasty of Tamarindito and Arroyo de Piedra as a regional power. In which way did this political change affect the population of the Petexbatún region? This is the question that guided archaeological investigations conducted at the minor site of Nacimiento, occupied before and after the arrival of the Dos Pilas dynasty. Extensive excavations conducted at residential groups in Nacimiento have made it possible to analyze the effect that this political shift exerted on local inhabitants. Figure 1. Map of the Petexbatún region (by M. Eberl). 1 During 2003 a structure was excavated, nearby presumed agricultural terraces. This season work continued with the extensive excavation of two structures from two residential groups located at the core of Nacimiento. THEORETICAL FRAME The investigation at Nacimiento was carried out as part of the Aguateca Archaeological Project, whose second phase, under the direction of Daniela Triadan, was initiated on June of 2004.

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.

  • Zooarchaeological Habitat Analysis of Ancient Maya Landscape Changes
    Journal of Ethnobiology 28(2): 154–178 Fall/Winter 2008 ZOOARCHAEOLOGICAL HABITAT ANALYSIS OF ANCIENT MAYA LANDSCAPE CHANGES KITTY F. EMERYa and ERIN KENNEDY THORNTONb a Environmental Archaeology, Florida Museum of Natural History, Dickinson Hall, Museum Road, 117800 University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 ^[email protected]& b Department of Anthropology, 117305 University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7305 ^[email protected]& ABSTRACT.—Consensus has not yet been reached regarding the role of human- caused environmental change in the history of Classic Maya civilization. On one side of the debate, researchers argue that growing populations and agricultural expansion resulted in environmental over-exploitation that contributedto societal collapse. Researchers on the other side of the debate propose more gradual environmental change resulting from intentional and sustainable landscape management practices. In this study, we use zooarchaeological data from 23 archaeological sites in 11 inland drainage systems to evaluate the hypothesis of reduction of forest cover due to anthropogenic activities across the temporal and spatial span of the ancient Maya world. Habitat fidelity statistics derived from zooarchaeological data are presented as a proxy for the abundance of various habitat types across the landscape. The results of this analysis do not support a model of extensive land clearance and instead suggest considerable chronological and regional stability in the presence of animals from both mature and secondary forest habitats. Despite relative stability, some chronological variation in land cover was observed, but the variation does not fit expected patterns of increased forest disturbance during periods of greatest population expansion. These findings indicate a complex relationship between the ancient Maya and the forested landscape.

ABSTRACT In 1962 Richard Adams discovered at Altar de Sacrificios a ceramic vessel that would become transcendent for our understanding of the animic conceptions among the ancient Maya. Such vase (K3120), now at the Museo Nacional de Arquoelogía y Etnología, has become an emblematic piece for Guatemalan archaeo- logy. The history of such vessel will be reviewed in this paper, from its production to its ritual deposition. The iconographic motifs will be analyzed as well as the epigraphic texts. A microhistoric study is inten- ded to know some aspects of the regional political situation (represented through the so called “emblem glyphs”), as well as the Maya conceptions about animic entities. The study of the context of production of the piece, its intention, mobility and the represented themes in it can reveal us deep aspects of Maya cosmology and politics during the Late Classic.
