  • The Rulers of Palenque a Beginner’S Guide
    The Rulers of Palenque A Beginner’s Guide By Joel Skidmore With illustrations by Merle Greene Robertson Citation: 2008 The Rulers of Palenque: A Beginner’s Guide. Third edition. Mesoweb: www. mesoweb.com/palenque/resources/rulers/PalenqueRulers-03.pdf. Publication history: The first edition of this work, in html format, was published in 2000. The second was published in 2007, when the revised edition of Martin and Grube’s Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens was still in press, and this third conforms to the final publica- tion (Martin and Grube 2008). To check for a more recent edition, see: www.mesoweb.com/palenque/resources/rulers/rulers.html. Copyright notice: All drawings by Merle Greene Robertson unless otherwise noted. Mesoweb Publications The Rulers of Palenque INTRODUCTION The unsung pioneer in the study of Palenque’s dynastic history is Heinrich Berlin, who in three seminal studies (Berlin 1959, 1965, 1968) provided the essential outline of the dynasty and explicitly identified the name glyphs and likely accession dates of the major Early and Late Classic rulers (Stuart 2005:148-149). More prominent and well deserved credit has gone to Linda Schele and Peter Mathews (1974), who summarized the rulers of Palenque’s Late Classic and gave them working names in Ch’ol Mayan (Stuart 2005:149). The present work is partly based on the transcript by Phil Wanyerka of a hieroglyphic workshop presented by Schele and Mathews at the 1993 Maya Meet- ings at Texas (Schele and Mathews 1993). Essential recourse has also been made to the insights and decipherments of David Stuart, who made his first Palenque Round Table presentation in 1978 at the age of twelve (Stuart 1979) and has recently advanced our understanding of Palenque and its rulers immeasurably (Stuart 2005).

  • Mexico), a Riverine Settlement in the Usumacinta Region
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE From Movement to Mobility: The Archaeology of Boca Chinikihá (Mexico), a Riverine Settlement in the Usumacinta Region A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Nicoletta Maestri June 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Wendy Ashmore, Chairperson Dr. Scott L. Fedick Dr. Karl A. Taube Copyright by Nicoletta Maestri 2018 The Dissertation of Nicoletta Maestri is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation talks about the importance of movement and – curiously enough – it is the result of a journey that started long ago and far away. Throughout this journey, several people, in the US, Mexico and Italy, helped me grow personally and professionally and contributed to this accomplishment. First and foremost, I wish to thank the members of my dissertation committee: Wendy Ashmore, Scott Fedick and Karl Taube. Since I first met Wendy, at a conference in Mexico City in 2005, she became the major advocate of me pursuing a graduate career at UCR. I couldn’t have hoped for a warmer and more engaged and encouraging mentor. Despite the rough start and longer path of my graduate adventure, she never lost faith in me and steadily supported my decisions. Thank you, Wendy, for your guidance and for being a constant inspiration. During my graduate studies and in developing my dissertation research, Scott and Karl offered valuable advice, shared their knowledge on Mesoamerican cultures and peoples and provided a term of reference for rigorous and professional work. Aside from my committee, I especially thank Tom Patterson for his guidance and patience in our “one-to-one” core theory meetings.

The study spans El Lacandón’s foundation in the Late Preclassic period (300 B.C. -A.D. 150), its abandonment as part of its assimilation into the Palenque polity at the beginning of the Classic period (ca. A.D. 150), and its re-foundation as a 2nd level community in the political hierarchy of the Palenque polity at the end of the Late Classic (A.D. 750-850). Economic analyses consider patterns of production and consumption.

  • A Glimpse from Edzna's Hieroglyphics
    Contributions in New World Archaeology 4: 89–110 A GLIMPSE FROM EDZNA’S hieroglyphics: MIDDLE, Late AND TERMINAL CLASSIC PROCESSES OF Cultural INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SOUTHERN, Northern AND WESTERN LOWLANDS CARLOS PALLÁN GAYOL Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, Mexico and University of Bonn, Germany Abstract From its advantageous location, Edzna readily interacted with different cultural regions of the lowlands and beyond. After four years of research, a new documentation and decipherment of its large hieroglyphic corpus (including over 32 stelae and two hieroglyphic stairways) has yielded important results, including the definition of a dynastic sequence comprising ten rulers and the 7th century “arrival” of a lady possibly from the Petexbatún region. In addition, further evidence detailing the role that Yuhknoom the Great could have exerted as an “overlord” of Edzna will be discussed, along with formulae of subordination possibly linking Edzna to the vast political orbit of Calakmul. Under such an alliance, Edzna may have raised itself to a “golden age” as a major regional capital within an extended Puuc area. Emic geopolitical models discovered at both Tikal and Altar de los Reyes will be examined, within which Edzna appears to be mentioned along with other great lowland centers. The last part will deal with a series of wars waged against an enemy whose identity is preliminary explored. Such events may have provoked Edzna to plunge into a possible “sculptural-hiatus”, a period ended only by another “arrival”, this time led by an individual whose very name and associated portraiture strongly evoke foreign origins within the western Gulf-coastal plains.
