  • The Investigation of Classic Period Maya Warfare at Caracol, Belice

  • Geplünderte Maya-Monumente Aus La Naya, Petén, Guatemala
    Karl Herbert Mayer Geplünderte Maya-Monumente aus La Naya, Petén, Guatemala Resumen: En el pequeño sitio arqueológico La Naya había original- mente algunas estelas del clásico temprano y del clásico tardío. En su estilo local, las estelas se parecen a monumentos del clásico temprano del sitio El Zapote que se encuentra a tan solo 18 km al oeste de La Naya. Las semejanzas iconográficas aparecen, particularmente, en las decoraciones de cabeza y en el vestido. La única estela en La Naya la que está en buenas condiciones, la Estela 1, menciona, en su epigrafía, una relación dinástica con la ciudad de Yaxhá, centro maya que está ubicado al este de La Naya. Summary: At the small archaeological site of La Naya there were, originally, several stelae dating to the Early and Late Classic period. The stelae show a regional style related to the Early Classic stone monuments from the site of El Zapote, located only 18 kilometers west of La Naya; the iconographical similarities are particularly evident in the headdresses and costumes. The text on the best preserved monument from La Naya, Stela 1, commemorates dynastic relations to the city of Yaxhá , a Maya center east of La Naya. Einführung Der archäologische Fundort La Naya liegt im Nordosten des guatemaltekischen Departements Petén, etwa 8 Kilometer nördlich des Dorfes Las Viñas, das sich an der Straße, die die Hauptstadt Flores mit der Grenzstation nach Belize, Melchor de Mencos, verbindet, befindet. La Naya ist ein kleiner, dichtbebauter Ort nahe der großen Wasserstelle Aguada oder Laguna del Tigre. Es gibt keine stehenden Bauwerke mehr und die Siedlungshügel sind nicht sehr hoch.

We examine the strengths and weaknesses of these data sets, both in terms of identifying general trends and specific events. We then use these data to develop a model based on adaptive cycles that addresses both environmental and cultural changes that occurred in the Terminal Preclassic and the Terminal Classic periods in several areas of the Maya Lowlands.

  • 12 the Terminal Classic in the Area of the Yaxha Lagoon
    12 THE TERMINAL CLASSIC IN THE AREA OF THE YAXHA LAGOON, PETÉN Bernard Hermes Gustavo Martínez Keywords: Maya archaeology, Guatemala, Petén, Yaxha, Topoxte, Terminal Classic period The time span comprised approximately between AD 850 and AD 950 has been denominated Terminal Classic in the Central Petén area. The archaeological evidence suggests that this period witnessed several upheavals which affected most of the cities that flourished during the Late Classic period. However, in the area of the Yaxha Lagoon, evidence provided by archaeological works conducted there suggests that the situation had a different development than that of some other centers investigated so far. The information gathered through the analysis of archaeological materials suggests that during the Terminal Classic period, the site was inhabited by a hierarchical society, led by an elite group that tried to maintain the sociopolitical system of the Late Classic rulers. Yaxha lies in the northwestern region of Petén. Located on the northern bank of the lagoon with the same name, it extends along a large scarp that runs parallel to the lagoon bank along a distance of 3 km. It includes a number of buildings, plazas and causeways built after the ground was arranged through leveling and terracing, in a descending east-to-west order. The occupation of the site began in the Middle Preclassic period, and just like all the other sites from Central Peten, it witnessed a strong development during the Late Preclassic, which extended throughout the first half of the Early Classic period. The poor evidence of activity during the second half of this period and the first half of the Late Classic period, allows for presuming that the site underwent a hiatus, which came to an end around the beginning of the second half of the Late Classic, when the city achieved its largest proportions.

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.
