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. -

Baking Pot Codex Restoration Project, Belize

Initially, we believed that the painted stucco could be the remains of an ancient Maya codex. After funds were secured, Harriet Beaubien traveled to Belize to recover the material and bring it to the Smithsonian Institute for conservation and analysis. After more than a year of painstaking study Beaubien determined that the artifact was not a codex, but rather a number of smaller artifacts, similar in style and composition to gourds found at Cerén, El Salvador. Resumen Durante la temporada 2002, se encontró un artefacto de estuco en mal estado de preservación en una tumba de Baking Pot. En un principio, pensamos que el estuco pintado podrían ser los restos de un códice maya. Una vez asegurados los fondos necesarios, Harriet Beaubien viajó a Belice para recuperar el material y llevarlo al Instituto de Conservación de la Smithsonian para su conservación y análisis. -
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. -

Ancient Maya Territorial Organisation of Central Belize: Confluence of Archaeological and Epigraphic Data
Contributions in New World Archaeology 4: 59–90 ANCIENT Maya Territorial Organisation OF CENTRAL BELIZE: CONFLUENCE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND EPIGRAPHIC Data CHRISTOPHE HELMKE1, JAIME AWE2 1 University of Copenhagen, Denmark 2 Institute of Archaeology, Belize Abstract The models proposed for ancient Maya territorial organization in central Belize differ significantly from one researcher to another. Due to the relative dearth of hieroglyphic data, most models have been formulated on the basis of archaeological data alone and are predominantly site-specific assessments. Investigations in central Belize over the past four decades have, however, brought to light several key pieces of epigraphic data, including Emblem Glyphs. When viewed in conjunction, the archaeological and epigraphic data provide a new vantage for determining the structure of the Classic-period socio-political landscape of the Belize Valley. Resumen Los modelos propuestos para la organización territorial de los mayas del Período Clásico en Belice Central difieren significativamente de un investigador a otro. Debido a la escasez de datos jeroglíficos, la mayoría de los modelos se han formulado teniendo en cuenta tan solo datos arqueológicos y se centran predominantemente sobre cada sitio investigado. Las exploraciones en Belice Central de las cuatro últimas décadas, sin embargo, han sacado a la luz numerosas piezas clave que aportan datos epigráficos, incluyendo Glifos Emblema. Vistos en conjunto, los datos arqueológicos y epigráficos proporcionan una posición más ventajosa en la determinación de la estructura del paisaje socio-político del Período Clásico del Valle de Belice. INTRODUCTION A variety of models of ancient Maya territorial organisation have been proposed for the Belize Valley over the past four decades. -
