""! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank Michael D. Carrasco for sharing this magnificent corpus of objects with me and for opening my eyes to the art of the Highlands. His endless support and encouragement made this project not only possible, but enjoyable. Elin Danien’s enthusiasm for this project and insightful comments have benefitted me greatly and I would like to thank her for serving on this committee. The final two members of my committee, Stephanie Leitch and Nancy de Grummond, provided valuable advice at the beginning of this investigation and again during the defense of this project. Their participation is much appreciated. This thesis would not have been possible without the support of a Penelope E. Mason Summer Research Travel grant from the Department of Art History at Florida State University. I would like to express my gratitude to Oswaldo Chinchilla for discussing these objects with me on multiple occasions and for allowing me to photograph the many urns in his museum’s collection. Alex Pezzati made it possible for me to view the papers of Mary Butler Lewis and kindly provided me with photocopies of her reports. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, Ralph and Gail McCampbell, who are always supportive of me even when they are hiking behind me in the heat of Guatemala. ! """!

Unfortunately, much of the material currently utilized for interpretations about the ancient Maya comes from publications written after contact by the Spanish or from artifacts with no context, likely looted items. Both sources of information can be problematic and can skew interpretations. Cosmological tales documented after the Spanish invasion show evidence of the religious conversion that was underway. Noncontextual artifacts are often altered in order to make them more marketable. An example of an iconographic theme that is incorporated into the surviving media of the ancient Maya, but that is not mentioned in ethnographically-recorded myths or represented in the iconography from most noncontextual objects, are the “travelers”: a group of gods, humans, and animals who occupy a unique niche in the ancient Maya cosmology.

He came to Guatemala as part of the Carnegie Institution and carried out investigations at various sites including Tikal, Uaxactún, Copán, Mayapán, among many others. He further established his residence in Guatemala where he continued an active role in archaeology. The archive donated by Dr. Shook to Universidad del Valle de Guatemala in 1998 contains his field notes, Guatemala archaeological site records, photographs, documents, and illustrations. They were stored at the Department of Archaeology for several years until we obtained FAMSI’s support to start the conservation and protection of the archive. Basic conservation techniques were implemented to protect the archive from further damage. This report lists several sets of materials prepared by Dr. Shook throughout his fieldwork experience. Through these data sets, people interested in Shook’s work can know what materials are available for study at the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. Resumen El archivo Edwin M.

  • Determination of Late Postclassic Kaqchikel Maya Diet, Disease, and Cause of Death Through Analysis of Skeletons from Iximché, Guatemala
    FAMSI © 1999: Stephen L. Whittington Determination of Late Postclassic Kaqchikel Maya Diet, Disease, and Cause of Death through Analysis of Skeletons from Iximché, Guatemala Research Year : 1995 Culture : Maya Chronology : Late Postclassic Location : Guatemala Site : Iximché Table of Contents Introduction Fieldwork Analysis List of Figures Sources Cited Introduction Iximché was the capital of the Kaqchikel realm, founded by refugees from the Quiché kingdom in the 1470s or 1480s ( Figure 1 ). The Quiché attacked and tried to conquer the city at least once. This attempt met with failure and the Kaqchikel captured many Quiché warriors. Spaniards under Pedro de Alvarado arrived in the highlands in 1524. With the Kaqchikel as allies, they conquered the Guatemalan polities which had been enemies of Iximché. On July 25, Alvarado founded the first colonial capital of Guatemala near Iximché. This action led to the outbreak of hostilities between the Kaqchikel and the Spanish and the ultimate destruction and abandonment of Iximché in 1526. George Guillemin, a Swiss archaeologist, excavated Iximché between the late 1950s and the early 1970s. His main interest was architecture, and his crews uncovered large expanses of the site, exposing and then restoring plazas, palaces, altars, and temples. Unfortunately, Guillemin was much less interested in analyzing the large amounts of materials that came from the digging. His excavation notes, archived at the Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de Mesoamerica (CIRMA) in Antigua, do not mention the location, associated artifacts, or basic layout of some complete skeletons. Even worse, for years the excavated materials were stored in what was essentially a chicken coop. Bags broke open, artifacts and bones from various contexts became mixed together, and tags with provenience information rotted away or became separated from their bags.

  • The Political, Ideological, and Economic Significance of Ancient Maya Iron-Ore Mirrors
    SURFACES AND BEYOND: THE POLITICAL, IDEOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF ANCIENT MAYA IRON-ORE MIRRORS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Marc Gordon Blainey Anthropology M.A. Program June 2007 ABSTRACT Surfaces and Beyond: The Political, Ideological, and Economic Significance of Ancient Maya Iron-ore Mirrors Marc Gordon Blainey This thesis examines archaeological evidence pertaining to composite lithic artifacts of the ancient Maya termed “mirrors.” These objects, typically consisting of flat, shiny iron-ore fragments fitted in a mosaic to a backing of stone, ceramic, or wood, are assessed concerning their political, ideological, and economic implications within ancient Maya society. The evidence, including detailed archaeological proveniences and instances of mirrors in iconography, epigraphy, and ethnohistory, is considered from the theoretical standpoints of cognitive archaeology, from the perspectives of shamanism, and a renewed conjunctive approach. Endeavouring to reveal the emic significance mirrors held for the ancient Maya who made and used them, the role of these mirrors is situated within the broader ideological framework of a reflective surface complex. Although prior interpretations are largely correct in designating mirrors as implements for “divinatory scrying,” it is concluded that the evidence allows for a much more refined elucidation than has heretofore been provided. Keywords: ancient Maya, mirrors, iron-ore, archaeology, shamanism, scrying, prestige goods ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my family, particularly my parents, John and Sue Blainey.

  • Kahk' Uti' Chan Yopat
    Glyph Dwellers Report 57 September 2017 A New Teotiwa Lord of the South: K’ahk’ Uti’ Chan Yopat (578-628 C.E.) and the Renaissance of Copan Péter Bíró Independent Scholar Classic Maya inscriptions recorded political discourse commissioned by title-holding elite, typically rulers of a given city. The subject of the inscriptions was manifold, but most of them described various period- ending ceremonies connected to the passage of time. Within this general framework, statements contained information about the most culturally significant life-events of their commissioners. This information was organized according to discursive norms involving the application of literary devices such as parallel structures, difrasismos, ellipsis, etc. Each center had its own variations and preferences in applying such norms, which changed during the six centuries of Classic Maya civilization. Epigraphers have thus far rarely investigated Classic Maya political discourse in general and its regional-, site-, and period-specific features in particular. It is possible to posit very general variations, for example the presence or absence of secondary elite inscriptions, which makes the Western Maya region different from other areas of the Maya Lowlands (Bíró 2011). There are many other discursive differences not yet thoroughly investigated. It is still debated whether these regional (and according to some) temporal discursive differences related to social phenomena or whether they strictly express literary variation (see Zender 2004). The resolution of this question has several implications for historical solutions such as the collapse of Classic Maya civilization or the hypothesis of status rivalry, war, and the role of the secondary elite. There are indications of ruler-specific textual strategies when inscriptions are relatively uniform; that is, they contain the same information, and their organization is similar.
