Excavaciones en Dzibilchaltún, Yucatán
La zona arqueológica de Dzibilchaltún se encuentra a unos catorce kilómetros al norte de Mérida, Yucatán, casi a la mitad del camino entre esta ciudad y la ciénaga de la costa. Es uno de los más grandes conjuntos conocidos de ruinas precolombinas, que abarca un área de unos 4 X 12 kilómetros y presenta una densidad de construcciones aborígenes muy superior a las más fuertemente pobladas del norte de Yucatán. La extensión de las ruinas refleja en …

The Northern Maya Collapse and Its Aftermath
Recent adjustments to the chronology of the northern Maya Lowlands have brought about a closer alignment of the decline of Terminal Classic/Early Postclassic Yucatecan polities with the collapse of the southern Maya states. The collapse of the entire Classic-period societal structure throughout the lowlands can now be compressed into a 200- or 250-year period and seen as a progressive chain of events that began in the south and culminated with th…

Stanley Harding Boggs 1914-1991
of El Salvador, died suddenly of a stroke on December 30, 1991, at the age of 77. He is survived by his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Boggs de Cornejo, and several grandchildren. Stan was actively involved in the archaeology of his adopted country until the very end of his life, planning new investigations, remaining in contact with colleagues by travel and correspondence, and opening his home, as always, to archaeologists and other scholars with an i…
Doris Zemurray Stone 1909–1994
The death of Doris Stone 1 shortly before her 85th birthday, on October 21, 1994, marks the end of an era in Central American anthropology. Her interest in the archaeology and ethnology of Honduras began in the 1920s, and her contributions continued unabated until the end of her life. She is best known for her pioneering studies in the archaeology of Honduras and Costa Rica and for her comprehensive, synthetic volumes on prehispanic Central Ameri…
Continuity and Change in a Royal Maya Residential Complex at Copan
Excavation of the large elite structures around the Structure 10L-32 plaza at the northeast corner of Group 10L-2, at the south edge of the Acropolis at Copan, supports the view that this group was the residence of the royal family during the Late and Terminal Classic Coner phase. During the hundred years of construction at the uppermost plaza level, structure change and growth follows two patterns: (1) a tendency for subsequent buildings in one …
Redefinition of the Swasey Phase at Cuello, Belize
Calibrated radiocarbon dates of 19 samples excavated since 1976 at the site of Cuello, in northern Belize, place the Swasey phase (11 dates) and Bladen phase (8 dates) in the Middle Formative period, rather than in the Early Formative, as 10 dates on charcoal excavated in 1975 and 1976 indicated. The post-1976 dates for both phases fall between about 1100 and 400 B.C., and the two sets do not appear to differ significantly. All except 3 of the 35…

The Inscription on Stela 38, Piedras Negras, El Peten, Guatemala
In connection with a reconnaissance of southwestern Campeche and Tabasco undertaken for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the writer was able to make a brief visit to the ruins of Piedras Negras in the Department of Peten, Guatemala, in January, 1940. At the time of this visit, he encountered a fragment with hieroglyphic text on the raised basal terrace at the corner of Structure K-5, close to but not in direct association with the fragment…

Glyphs Z and Y of the Maya Supplementary Series
The Supplementary Series at Yaxchilan is characterized by the presence of two glyphs usually absent at other sites. The two are commonly known as the 'extraneous glyphs,' but this is rather a misnomer, for at this site they form an apparently integral part of the lunar count. In this paper, we are assigning the letter Z and Y as names for the two glyphs

Rush and Straw Crosses; Ancient Emblems of Sun Worship
In MAN, 1920, 45, Mr. Armstrong has described a gold solar disc found at Lattoon, Co. Cavan, which he connects with sun worship in the bronze age in Ireland.I should like to draw attention to the rush and straw crosses put up in many parts of that country, which are, I believe, a survival of this ancient cult.The significance of the rush cross was first pointed out to me by the late Lady Huggins, who showed me one, saying it had come from Ireland…
