  • Baking Pot Codex Restoration Project, Belize

Audet Baking Pot Codex Restoration Project, Belize Research Year: 2003 Culture: Maya Chronology: Late Classic Location: Belize Site: Baking Pot Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Section I Discovery of Tomb 2, Baking Pot, Belize Tomb 2 Section II - Harriet Beaubien Excavation of the Artifacts Goals of Conservation and Technical Analysis Description of the Artifacts Goals of the Project Artifact Conservation Stabilization for Transport List of Components Conservation of Artifact R at SCMRE Technical Study of Paint Flakes Paint Layer Composition Ground Layer Composition Painting Technique and Decorative Scheme Indicators of the Original Substrate(s) Preliminary Interpretation of the Artifacts Object Types Contributions to Technical Studies of Maya Painting Traditions List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract During the 2002 field season a decayed stuccoed artifact was uncovered in a tomb at the site of Baking Pot. 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.

  • 16 La Cuenca Del Río Mopan-Belice
    Laporte, Juan Pedro 1996 La cuenca del río Mopan-Belice: Una sub-región cultural de las Tierras Bajas Mayas centrales. En IX Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, 1995 (editado por J.P. Laporte y H. Escobedo), pp.223-251. Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala (versión digital). 16 LA CUENCA DEL RÍO MOPAN-BELICE: UNA SUB-REGIÓN CULTURAL DE LAS TIERRAS BAJAS MAYAS CENTRALES Juan Pedro Laporte Recientemente, el proceso de investigación arqueológica en Guatemala ha llegado a zonas no tradicionales. Son ahora más usuales los trabajos efectuados en las áridas tierras del oriente, en la región de Izabal y la costa del Atlántico. Otro territorio que ha entrado ahora en juego es la sección del sur de Petén, en especial el límite con Belice. A partir de 1987, el Atlas Arqueológico de Guatemala viene desarrollando un programa de reconocimiento en el sureste de Petén, relacionado a los actuales municipios de San Luis, Poptun y Dolores (Figura 1). Este amplio territorio, de más de 5000 km² (se aproxima a 140 km norte-sur y 40 km este-oeste), presenta varios factores de interés para la investigación del asentamiento arqueológico, principalmente la diversidad ambiental y fisiográfica, así como la prácticamente nula exploración de la cual había sido objeto. El trazo de una ruta parcialmente nueva desde Izabal hacia el centro de Petén y los nuevos asentamientos humanos que ha traído consigo el programa de colonización promovido en las últimas décadas, hizo viable el desarrollo de un proyecto arqueológico en un área en donde las ruinas, de tamaño modesto, no son rivales de los inmensos centros del norte de Petén, como Tikal o Uaxactun, en donde, como todos sabemos, se había definido el carácter de la actividad arqueológica Maya, especialmente en Guatemala.

  • Itinerary & Program
    Overview Explore Belize in Central America in all of its natural beauty while embarking on incredible tropical adventures. Over nine days, this tour will explore beautiful rainforests, Mayan ruins and archeology, and islands of this tropical paradise. Some highlights include an amazing tour of the Actun Tunichil Muknal (“Cave of the Crystal Maiden”), also known at ATM cave; snorkeling the second largest barrier reef in the world, the critically endangered Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, at the tropical paradise of South Water Caye; touring Xunantunich Mayan ruin (“Sculpture of Lady”); and enjoying a boat ride on the New River to the remote Mayan village of Lamanai. Throughout this tour, we’ll have the expertise of Luis Godoy from Belize Nature Travel, a native Mayan and one of Belize’s premier licensed guides, to lead us on some amazing excursions and share in Belize’s heritage. We’ll also stay at locally owned hotels and resorts and dine at local restaurants so we can truly experience the warm and welcoming culture of Belize. UWSP Adventure Tours leaders Sue and Don Kissinger are ready to return to Belize to share the many experiences and adventures they’ve had in this beautiful country over the years. If you ask Sue if this is the perfect adventure travel opportunity for you she’ll say, “If you have an adventurous spirit, YOU BETTER BELIZE IT!” Tour Leaders Sue and Don Kissinger Sue and Don have travelled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Central America, Africa and Europe. They met 36 years ago as UW-Stevens Point students on an international trip and just celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary.

Hoggarth 2012 iii SOCIAL REORGANIZATION AND HOUSEHOLD ADAPTATION IN THE AFTERMATH OF COLLAPSE AT BAKING POT, BELIZE Julie A. Hoggarth, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This dissertation focuses on the adaptations of ancient Maya households to the processes of social reorganization in the aftermath of collapse of Classic Maya rulership at Baking Pot, a small kingdom in the upper Belize River Valley of western Belize. With the depopulation of the central and southern Maya lowlands at the end of the Late Classic period, residents in Settlement Cluster C at Baking Pot persisted following the abandonment of the palace complex in the Terminal Classic period (A.D. 800-900). Results from this study indicate that noble and commoner households in Settlement Cluster C continued to live at Baking Pot, developing strategies of adaptation including expanding interregional mercantile exchange and hosting community feasts in the Terminal Classic and Early Postclassic periods.

  • The Capital Caver Number Four June, 2007
    The Capital Caver Number Four June, 2007 Challenge of Small Caves Saj Pierson in entrance to Hackberry Hole The Capital Caver Number 4 The Capital Caver is published very irregularly by the Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA) to inform TCMA members about issues involving Texas caves and karst. This issue of the Capital Caver contains an editorial to remind cavers that by no means have all Texas Caves been discovered. There are many more caves still to be found, and many sections of known caves have not been well checked. Then the relatively unstudied biology of the Barton Springs Segment of the Edwards Aquifer is considered, and the Barton Springs Segment is divided into four potential habitat zones based on food energy input and aquifer characteristics. The principal concern of this issue is how to report and compile cave information. In the past the TSS has provided information on all caves in a relatively large area through printed reports. But, advances in digital publishing and distribution have made other options attractive, and these alternatives are examined. The issues examined in the Capital Caver are the responsibility of the editor, and the opinions expressed are the responsibility of the authors of the individual articles, and do not necessarily represent the opinions or concerns of the Texas Cave Management Association. Unsigned articles are the responsibility of the editor. Material in the Capital Caver is not reviewed or authorized by the TCMA. Table of Contents Exploration and Caving . 2 Habitat Zones in the Barton Springs Segment of the Edwards Aquifer. 3 Caver FAQ's .
