Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands
J Archaeol Method Theory (2008) 15:300–337 DOI 10.1007/s10816-008-9055-7 Negotiations with the Animate Forest: Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands Linda A. Brown & Kitty F. Emery Published online: 10 October 2008 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract Ethnoarchaeological research at highland Maya hunting shrines docu- ments the material remains of interactions between two types of animate beings: humans and the forest. When either active agent enters the others’ domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions. Using the material correlates of modern hunting rituals, we explore the utility of ethnoarchaeological research in identifying negotiations with non-human agents associated with the animate forest – an active agent in many societies. Keywords Maya . Ethnoarchaeology . Hunting ceremonialism . Zooarchaeology Introduction Ethnoarchaeology, the study of modern material remains as analogs for ancient activities, can provide valuable data for inferring agency from the archaeological record. This is particularly true in the case of animistic religious practices, where one or more actors are non-physical entities or material objects not afforded agency in our own culture but active participants in other societies. In the pursuit of evidence for interactions between human and non-human agents, the material remains of repeated ceremonial negotiations are valuable. As these negotiations often occur at the boundaries between agent realms, they physically mark important thresholds where human and non-human actors interact. L. A.

PAPPAS, Assistant Editor The publications of the Museum of Zoology, The University of Michigan, consist primarily of two series—the Miscellaneous Publications and the Occasional Papers. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. Occasionally the Museum publishes contributions outside of these series; beginning in 1990 these are titled Special Publications and are numbered. All submitted manuscripts to any of the Museum’s publications receive external review. The Occasional Papers, begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, initiated in 1916, include monographic studies, papers on field and museum techniques, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, and are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes.

Inferred environmental changes are generally synchronous with archaeologically documented highland Maya cultural shifts. Population increases in the Middle Preclassic, Early Classic, and Late Postclassic are associ- ated with deforestation and soil erosion. Land abandonment in the Late Preclassic, Late Classic, and Early Postclassic is associated with evidence for reforestation and soil stabilization. Diatoms indicate relatively lower lake level and greater trophic status at times of reduced human impact, from ca. 250 B.C. to A.D. 125 and from ca. A.D. 875 to 1375. Decreased water levels were probably due to drier climate, to reforestation, or both. Lake eutrophication was caused by reduced water volume combined with a legacy of long-term agricultural activity. Our data contribute to the understanding of relations among ancient Maya culture, climate, and envi- ronment.

Archaeology of the Guatemala Pacific Coast
FAMSI © 2002: Frederick J. Bove Archaeology of the Guatemala Pacific Coast Research Year : 1999 Culture : Teotihuacán Chronology : Pre-Classic, Early Classic and Late Post Classic Location : Pacific Coast, Guatemala (this report includes several abstracts involving Oaxaca, the Gulf Coast, and Petén) Site : Escuintla Table of Contents Abstract Publishable Manuscripts Relational Database Ceramic and Other Artifact Analysis and Illustration Design and Implementation of the Regional GIS Future Goal Abstract Funding provided by FAMSI was utilized in four broad categories. These were (a) in the preparation of publishable manuscripts, (b) the design, implementation, and completion of a large relational database including sites, stratigraphic data from excavations, ceramics, obsidian, and other artifacts, (c) completion of all ceramic analysis and illustrations of key ceramic types and groups as well as other significant artifact classes such as obsidian, and (d) the design and implementation of a large GIS database encompassing all of the data collected. Each of these categories is more fully described below. Publishable Manuscripts One of the great advantages of the FAMSI funding was to provide precious time to analyze and reflect on the results of the various projects conducted over the past years. While work continued on the large ceramic, obsidian, and other artifact databases as well as the concurrent GIS project, the opportunity to initiate regional questions of potentially sweeping magnitude instead of the usual site limited reports was immensely rewarding. The assistance provided by FAMSI enabled me to take fresh looks at our data with striking results. One concerned a Teotihuacán military takeover and colonization of a great deal of the central Escuintla, Guatemala coast.

The Horned Guan in Mexico and Guatemala
THE CONDOR VOLUME 69 MARCH-APRIL, 1967 NUMBER 2 , I THE HORNED GUAN IN MfiXICO AND GUA’TEMALA ROBERT F. ANDRLE Since its discovery in Guatemala in the first half of the nineteenth century, the Horned Guan (Oreophasis derbianus) has remained one of the lesser-known mem- bers of the Cracidae. This lack of knowledge is partially accounted for by the difficulty of access to its mountain habitat and the fact that few ornithologists have had an opportunity to observe the species. The guan’s ability to conceal itself in dense forest vegetation and its decrease in abundance have also been contributing factors. Subsequent to the Horned Guan’s first description and picture by Gray and Mitchell in 1844, most published references to the species either have involved locality records or have been descriptive and taxonomic accounts. Sclater and Salvin (1859), Salvin and Sclater (1860), Salvin (1860), Salvin and Godman (1902), and Griscom’s (1932) relatively brief comments were the only published data available on aspects of the species’ habitat, behavior, and food until the appearance of Wagner’s (1953) paper dealing with some facets of its biology and habitat in Chiapas. Leopold (1959) summarized some of the previously published information on the species. During March and April 1965, in cooperation with the Directors of the Instituto de Historia Natural in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, and the Mu& National de Historia Natural in Guatemala City, I conducted preliminary investigations on the Horned Guan in Mexico in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and in Guatemala, chiefly on Volcan Tajumulco. This field study was an attempt to secure additional informa- tion on the guan’s life history and ecology, and to learn more about its present status with respect to preservation of the species and its habitat in the two countries.

Gis Analysis of Obsidian Artifact Distributions at Holtun from the Preclassic Through the Classic Periods
GIS ANALYSIS OF OBSIDIAN ARTIFACT DISTRIBUTIONS AT HOLTUN FROM THE PRECLASSIC THROUGH THE CLASSIC PERIODS by MELVIN RODRIGO GUZMAN PIEDRASANTA B.A. Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2017 © 2017 Melvin Rodrigo Guzman Piedrasanta ii ABSTRACT The nature of social organization at an archaeological site can be interpreted from many types of material remains. Exotic goods are particularly useful for making inferences about social organization because of their scarcity, utilitarian demand, and symbolic characteristics. Obsidian artifacts are some of the most abundant exotic goods among the Lowland Maya. The acquisition of these artifacts was the result of a wide net of commerce from the highlands of Guatemala and central Mexico into the Maya lowlands. The patterns of consumption and distribution of obsidian artifacts vary according the time and location. This variation is seen as the result of complex dynamics of trade and social interactions among the ancient Maya. Therefore, I argue that there is variability perceptible in the patterns of consumption and local distribution of obsidian between the elite residential groups at the site of Holtun. This study presents a descriptive and comparative analysis of the patterns of obsidian consumption observed in the samples from the excavations performed by the Holtun Archaeological Project from 2011 through 2016. The analysis contributes to the understanding of local processes in association with regional socioeconomic and political dynamics in the Maya Lowlands.

Previous research at this site by Harvard University allowed us to develop detailed research designs geared toward specific research questions. A particularly important focus was the question of how lowland Maya civilization emerged and developed. Comparison with contemporaneous sites in central Chiapas led us to hypothesize that the residents of Ceibal established a formal spatial pattern similar to those of the Chiapas centers during the Middle Preclassic period (1000–350 b.c.). Through excavations of important elements of this spatial pattern, including a probable E-Group assemblage and large platforms, we examined how the Ceibal residents participated in interregional interactions with Chiapas, the Gulf Coast, and other areas, and how construction activities and architecture shaped the course of social change. INTRODUCTION The Ceibal-Petexbatun Archaeological Project has been examin- ing this question through field work at Ceibal since 2005.
