  • Metaphors of Relative Elevation, Position and Ranking in Popol Vuh
    METAPHORS OF RELATIVE ELEVATION, POSITION AND RANKING IN POPOL VUH Nathaniel TARN and Martin PRECHTEL Rutgers University This paper is an account of work very much in progress on the textual analysis of Popol V uh, and is one study among others (since this theme is attracting a number of students today) of inter-con­ nections and mutual illuminations between Popol Vuh and the con­ temporary ethnographic record in Highland Guatemala and Chiapas. For some considerable time now Popol Vuh has been considered as the major extant text of the Mesoamerican literary traditions, and as one of the most remarkable of all human creation stories, both for its beauty and for the complexity of its cosmological and mythical messages. While it may or may not have had a hieroglyphic original, the present alphabetic version of Po pol V uh wars written down some­ where between 1545 and 1558 by an anonymous member of the Cavek lineage of the Quiche Maya of Guatemala. This lineage had been a ruling house until it fell to the Spaniards in 1524. The manu­ script was copied by Francisco de Ximenez, a Spanish priest, some 150 years later. While there are references to Christianity in the text, these are few and it is generally regarded as one of the purest extant accounts of prehispanic Maya world-view. At the end of the hook, what we call mythical history shades into the historical history of the Quiche, so that the hook can serve as an illustration of the extent to which these two kinds of history are not held a,part by Maya generally.

The ritual act of portioning and layering created spatial order and was used to organize everything from the heavens to the layout of altars.

Snow Professor of Anthropology Chair of the Graduate Program in Anthropology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This thesis summarizes an examination of the Uapala-Usulután Ceramic Sphere using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Usulután pottery is found at sites within chiefdoms throughout El Salvador and portions of Honduras during the Late Formative to Early Classic transition (400 BC – AD 250). Usulután pottery can be divided into two type-varieties: Izalco Usulután and Bolo Orange. Both type-varieties distinctive for their burnished surface and orange on cream resist decoration. Izalco Usulután is made with fine textured cream colored clays. Bolo Orange is made with medium to fine texture buff to orange colored clays. Although they are similar in appearance, each type has a different pattern of distribution throughout this region. These patterns of distribution have lead researchers to argue for increased interaction among the chiefdoms. The region marked by this interaction is called the Uapala Ceramic Sphere.

En IV Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, 1990 (editado por J.P. Laporte, H. Escobedo y S. Brady), pp.107-118. Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala. 10 EL VALLE DE SACUL EN LAS MONTAÑAS MAYAS DE GUATEMALA Juan Pedro Laporte Rolando Torres Héctor Escobedo Paulino Morales La presente plática enfoca los resultados del programa Atlas Arqueológico de Guatemala en un sector del sureste de Petén, en donde se vienen desarrollando reconocimientos intensivos para la determinación y registro de los distintos centros arqueológicos de la región a partir de 1985. El valle de Sacul es parte del sector norte de las Montañas Mayas guatemaltecas, a 16 km del límite con Belice (Figura 1). Sacul es uno de la serie de valles y mesetas que conforman la región sureste de Petén, en un paisaje más escarpado que los sectores de meseta de Dolores y Poptun, con alturas que oscilan entre 450 y 650 m sobre el nivel del mar. El río Sacul surca este valle en dirección norte; pertenece al sistema de drenaje del alto río Mopan. Llega a resumirse conjuntamente con los ríos Xa´an y Mopan para luego resurgir en forma navegable, cruzando las sabanas y llanuras de Ucanal hasta llegar a Melchor de Mencos como río Mopan y al Caribe como río Belice. Los picos montañosos que rodean el valle de Sacul sostienen bosque primario, mientras que tierras más aptas están cultivadas con milpería y habilitadas para potrero.
