  • Archaeomagnetic Insights into Pre-Hispanic Mayan Lime Production

    Open AccessJocelyne Martínez Landín, A Goguitchaichvili et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2025

    The Yucatán Peninsula, a key region of the ancient Maya civilization, has long presented challenges in establishing absolute chronological frameworks for its cultural practices. While the central regions of Mesoamerica have been extensively studied, the southern areas, including the Yucatán, remain underexplored. Limekilns, integral to lime production in pre-Hispanic Maya society, are well suited for archaeomagnetic studies due to the high temper…

  • Human-Stone Interactions in the Precolonial Maya Maya Lowlands

    Open AccessCéline Gillot, Kenneth E Seligson et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2025Referencias: 71

    This paper considers the complex entanglements from which stones and stone craftspeople emerged in the precolonial Maya world. Drawing from recent scholarship that emphasizes the relational and processual nature of making and knowing, it adopts a multi-practice perspective to explore how humans transformed limestone into knowable and workable materials and how, in turn, limestone transformed humans into knowledgeable and skilled individuals. Geoa…

  • Archaeological Perspectives on Confronting Social Change at the Sixteenth-Century Visita Town of Hunacti, Yucatán

    Open AccessCarlos Peraza Lopes, M A Masson et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2025Referencias: 43

    How did resource use, trade, and patterns of everyday life change at visita mission towns in the early decades of the colonial period in northern Yucatán, Mexico? We consider this question with an analysis of archaeological material assemblages from the site of Hunacti, occupied from 1557 to 1572. Household archaeology performed at three elite residences and investigations at the central plaza and church provide evidence of continuity, change, an…

    This article addresses Postclassic Maya population recovery in the aftermath of the collapse of Terminal Classic period political centers by 1100 CE in northern Yucatan, Mexico.

We analyze survey data from …

  • Effigy Censer and Figurine Production at the Postclassic Maya City of Mayapan, Mexico

    Open AccessCarlos Peraza Lopes, M A Masson et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 45

    The spatial contexts of effigy censer and figurine molds at Mayapan, Yucatan, Mexico suggest a tightly controlled industry in which elite representatives of state government and religious orders exerted oversight over production and distribution. Attached artisans at Mayapan made these and other restricted goods for residents of palaces and patrons of the city's public buildings. The study of effigy ceramic production reveals that, like earlier, …

  • Social Identity and Dental Modification at the Postclassic Maya Urban Centre of Mayapan

    Open AccessStanley Serafin, M A Masson et al.ARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 56

    Dental modification represents one interesting aspect of corporeal adornment in human history that directly reflects personal social identity. Tooth filing choices distinguished certain individuals at the urban, Maya political capital of Mayapan from 1150 to 1450 ad , along with cranial modification, nose and ear piercings, tattoos and body paint. Here we examine how filing teeth, considered a beautification practice for women at Spanish Contact …

  • The Origins of Maya Stingless Beekeeping

    Open AccessE H Paris, Veronica Briseño Castrejon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2020

    Beekeeping among the modern Maya of Yucatan, Mexico, reflects an intricate network of symbiotic relationships between bees, flowering plants, humans, and the managed landscape, which includes both settlements ( kaaj, [kah]) and the cultivated and fallow farmlands surrounding them ( k'ax). Native stingless bees are valued today both for the honey and wax they produce and the crops they pollinate. This study utilizes the ethnobiology of modern Maya…
