  • Northern Yucatán Obsidian Finds
    FAMSI © 2002: Geoffrey E. Braswell Northern Yucatán Obsidian Finds - Mérida and Chichén Itzá Presented at the X Symposium of the Guatemalan Archaeology, National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Guatemala, July 25, 1996 Research Year : 1996 Culture: Maya Chronology : Terminal Classic Location : Quintana Roo, México Sites: Mérida and Chichén Itzá Table of Contents Introduction Research in México Neutron Activation Analysis of Samples Preliminary Conclusions and Continuing Research Sources Cited Introduction This report describes research funded by the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI). The project, entitled Northern Yucatán Obsidian Finds - Mérida and Chichén Itzá, was conducted in México between 15 October and 16 December 1995. A second phase, consisting of the analysis of 292 obsidian artifacts by neutron activation, should be completed by 31 October 1996. Obsidian found in the northern Maya lowlands was imported from a limited number of sources in the Guatemalan and Mexican highlands. The presence of obsidian artifacts at lowland Maya sites therefore implies participation in interregional and long-distance trade networks. Although the northern lowlands have long been an important focus of obsidian-exchange studies (e.g., Hammond, 1972; Nelson, 1985), the construction and testing of diachronic trade models has been hampered by two factors. First, the sample size of sourced artifacts from the northern lowlands has been small: only 80 pieces from contexts dating to later than A.D. 600 (Nelson, 1985: Tables 11-14). As of 1994, only six pieces of obsidian from Chichén Itzá had been attributed to geological sources through chemical analysis. These were all of unknown temporal provenience and were dredged from the Sacred Cenote, a functional context so special that it cannot be interpreted as representative of the site as a whole.

  • Maya Settlement Patterns and Land Use in Buena Vista, Cozumel, México
    FAMSI © 2004: Adolfo Iván Batún Alpuche Maya Settlement Patterns and Land Use in Buena Vista, Cozumel, México Research Year: 2003 Culture: Maya Chronology: Post Classic Location: Cozumel, México Site: Buena Vista Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Introduction Project Goals Research Design and Methods Preliminary Results Microenvironmental Zones Main Transects Transects Limiting Quadrants Selected Areas Soil Profiles Summary and Conclusion Acknowledgments List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract The Buena Vista Archaeological Project is a study of postclassic Maya settlement patterns and land use on the island of Cozumel, México. Field work carried out in the site during the months of June–August 2003 was sponsored by the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc., (FAMSI). Previous archaeological research in Buena Vista had focused in a central area of seven hectares and reported the existence of an extensive wall system and platforms at the site which was interpreted as a storage center for exchange and resupply transactions. In this interpretation, the platforms supported perishable structures used to store trade commodities, and the wall system was built to protect these trade goods from possible pirate attacks (Sabloff and Rathje 1975, Freidel and Sabloff 1984). However, the nature and extension of the wall system around the central area had not been investigated in detail. The research objectives of this project were to analyze the Buena Vista settlement pattern following a settlement ecology model (Stone 1996, Killion 1992), which seeks to understand the relationship between population and agricultural practices in an ecological setting. The project followed a program of surface survey and mapping of the wall system, related structures, and natural features located in an area of 4 km2 around the center of the site.

El intercambio de productos a través de largas distancias fue un factor básico en la homogeneidad cultural del mundo maya, jugando un papel crítico en el desarrollo de esta antigua civilización. El comercio marítimo maya se remonta al periodo Preclásico Tardío (300 a.C.-300 d.C.) Muchos puertos estaban ubicados en lugares estratégicos para el comercio, como islas, promontorios o a la entrada de ríos y en la mayoría de las veces se ubicaban en lugares protegidos del mar abierto.

  • A Regional Study
    POPULATION STRUCTURE AND INTERREGIONAL INTERACTION IN PRE- HISPANIC MESOAMERICA: A BIODISTANCE STUDY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By B. Scott Aubry, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Clark Spencer Larsen, Adviser Professor Paul Sciulli _________________________________ Adviser Professor Sam Stout Graduate Program in Anthropology Professor Robert DePhilip Copyright Bryan Scott Aubry 2009 ABSTRACT This study addresses long standing issues regarding the nature of interregional interaction between central Mexico and the Maya area through the analysis of dental variation. In total 25 sites were included in this study, from Teotihuacan and Tula, to Tikal and Chichen Itza. Many other sites were included in this study to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the biological relationships between these regions and to better estimate genetic heterozygosity for each sub-region. The scope of the present study results in a more comprehensive understanding of population interaction both within and between the sub-regions of Mesoamerica, and it allows for the assessment of differential interaction between sites on a regional scale. Both metric and non-metric data were recorded. Non-metric traits were scored according to the ASU system, and dental metrics include the mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions at the CEJ following a modification of Hillson et al. (2005). Biodistance estimates were calculated for non-metric traits using Mean Measure of Divergence. R-matrix analysis, which provides an estimate of average genetic heterozygosity, was applied to the metric data. R-matrix analysis was performed for each of the sub-regions separately in order to detect specific sites that deviate from expected levels of genetic heterozygosity in each area.

  • Guide of Main Archaeological Sites
    MAIN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES RIVERA MAYA AND VALLADOLID 998 139 1007 998 164 9829 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES NEAR VALLADOLID 998 139 1007 998 164 9829 EK BALAM Ek Balam is a Mayan archaeological site in Yucatan, Mexico. It is located 30 km north of the city of Valladolid, 2 km from the current Mayan town of Ek Balam. Ek Balam is formed by the words ek ’, with which the color black is called and also means “star” and balam, which means "jaguar". It can be translated as "jaguar- dark-or black". Also some Mayan speakers in the region translate it as “lúcero-jaguar”. In the Ek ’Balam List, written in 1579 by Juan Gutiérrez Picón, it is mentioned that the name of the site comes from a great lord named Ek Balam or Coch Cal Balam, who founded and governed for 40 years. Archaeological evidence has not provided us with any evidence of the existence of such a character. While in the emblem found in stone monument called Hieroglyphic Serpents, it is mentioned just like the name of the site. 998 139 1007 998 164 9829 COBÁ Cobá means 'waters stirred by wind' or 'ruffled waters' as the Mayan city is located on five lagoons. In this site you can see two of them: the Cobá Lagoon which can be seen as you drive up to the ruins entrance and Macamxoc Lagoon which can be viewed once you enter the ruin site. Those lakes were a fundamental factor for its development and subsistence. With approximately 70km2 of extension, the city was communicated by extensive raised stone paths, known in the Mayan language as sacbé (white road), of variable length and width.

  • Architectural Survey at Chichen Itza
    ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY AT CHICHEN ITZA George F. Andrews University of Oregon 1 z SITE: CHICHEN ITZA NUMBER; 16Qd(9):l DATE: 1991 BACKGROUND Although Chichen Itza is assumed to have been seen by the Spanish conquistadores as early as 1528 and several of its buildings were described by Bishop Landa (1566), its history as far as architecture is concerned properly begins with Stephens' and Catherwood's visit to the site in 1842. They were followed by Charnay (1860, 1882), LePlongeon (1879, etc.), Maudslay (1889-1902, 1906, 1910), Breton (1900-1904), and E. Seler (t^iT ). Commencing in the early 19205, the Carnegie Institution of Washington initiated a series of excavation and restoration projects at the site which involved a large number of individuals, including Jean Chariot, S.G. Morley, Earl Morris, Karl Ruppert, P.S. Martin, Gustav Stromsvik, J.R. Bolles, R.T. Smith, Oliver Ricketson, H.E.D. Pollock, J.E.S. Thompson, George Vaillant, and R. Wauchop. Overlapping with the work of this group were a number of restoration projects carried out under the auspices of INAH, Mexico. More recent studies have been carried out by Thompson (1945), Ruppert (1952), Tozzer (1957), Cohodas (1978), Lincoln (1986) and others. I first visited the site in 1960 but the bulk of my architectural data was recorded in 1973, 1981, and 1983. Because the present report is concerned primarily with the architecture at Chichen Itza, the references cited above do not include the names of those who have focussed their attention on the art, ceramics, "Toltec" and/or "Itza" historical relationships, and other areas of specialization.

I maya vi giunsero tra il 3000 e il 1000 a.C. entrando in contatto con la civiltà Olmeca, considerata da molti studiosi come la civiltà madre della Mesoamerica. Verso il 2000 a.C. è documentata la diffusione, dal Guatemala, della coltivazione del mais, mentre i primi reperti archeologici che indicano la presenza di una cultura evoluta risalgono al 1500 a.C. Questa data, universalmente accettata dagli archeologi, segna l’inizio del periodo formativo o pre-classico, che vede il suo sviluppo nella regione dell’altopiano guatemalteco, dove sono stati ritrovati i primi esempi di scrittura, di falso-arco e di struttura stele-altare, che caratterizzano la civiltà maya classica. Dopo questo periodo iniziale di rapido sviluppo, però, la regione dell’altopiano non dà più alcun contributo al progresso della cultura maya, che comincia invece a fiorire nelle pianure. Dal 292 d.C., anno riportato sulla stele di Tikal (il più antico monumento datato che sia stato ritrovato nella regione centrale) inizia il periodo classico, quello di maggior splendore, che si protrae fino al 900 d.C.
