Early Maya Monumentalism
The time period ∼1200-1000 BCE was pivotal in the Maya area, which witnessed the adoption of ceramics, changes in subsistence practices, a decrease in mobility, and the first monumental constructions. These first monumental building efforts were on a landscape scale and emphasized horizonal monumentality through the construction of massive artificial plateaus and platforms and standardized architectural complexes. Complex and multifaceted interre…
An isotopic examination of Maya Preclassic and Classic animal and human diets at Ceibal, Guatemala
This study examines the carbon (δ13C), oxygen (δ18O), and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes from the dental enamel of 63 animals and compares these data to the carbon signatures from 21 humans from the Maya site of Ceibal, Guatemala. Comparing both domestic dogs and non-domestic species over a history spanning two millennia, we find that subsistence strategies and interregional relationships between Ceibal and other areas changed over time, likely b…
Politicizing belonging
People are often assumed to expand existing mechanisms—kinship in particular—to include others when they form communities. These models (con)fuse similarity with sameness, as we argue based on Husserl's concept of empathy. People recognize others without overlooking differences. They form community by negotiating belonging. We ask how individuals materialize community, how they create unity in a political process, and how they employ bordering an…
Classic Maya figurines as materials of socialization
Radiocarbon dates of burials from Ceibal and other Pasión Maya sites, Guatemala, and the examination of freshwater reservoir effect through diet reconstruction
Origins and spread of formal ceremonial complexes in the Olmec and Maya regions revealed by airborne lidar
Monumental architecture at Aguada Fénix and the rise of Maya civilization
Sourcing Chihuahuan Polychrome Ceramics
Traditionally, the wide distribution of distinctive Chihuahuan polychrome ceramics has been interpreted as evidence for the extensive interaction sphere of Casas Grandes, or Paquime. The role of the major center of Paquime in the political and economic system is a crucial question in defining the nature and intensity of interactions in the Casas Grandes region and the extent of intraregional social and political integration. A large-scale, region…
Early Maya Ritual Practices and Craft Production
This article examines Preclassic Maya ritual practices and craft production by means of a study of ritual deposits containing obsidian artifacts dated mostly to the late Middle Preclassic period (700–350 b.c.) at Ceibal, Guatemala. New ritual practices developed at Ceibal during this period, possibly through political interactions and negotiation involving emerging elites and other diverse community members. Common objects in ritual deposits in t…
Mortuary Rituals and Cranial Modifications at Ceibal
Skeletal remains excavated from the lowland Maya site of Ceibal, representing approximately 117 individuals, provide significant data for the study of changes in bodily treatments and mortuary practices from 1000b.c.toa.d.900. The early Middle Preclassic residents of Ceibal apparently did not bury their dead inside residential structures, which represents a burial practice different from those found at contemporaneous Belizean sites. During this …
Social Transformations in a Middle Preclassic Community
Excavations in large platforms in the center of Ceibal revealed extensive early Middle Preclassic constructions. They consisted of extensive clay platforms that supported low basal structural platforms. Although the function of the earliest platform, Sulul, during the Real-Xe 1 and 2 phases (950–775b.c.) is not clear, the one built during the Real-Xe 3 phase (775–700b.c.) likely supported multiple residential buildings. The emphasis on elevating …
After 40 Years
The Ceibal-Petexbatun Archaeological Project has been conducting field investigations at the lowland Maya site of Ceibal since 2005. 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 hy…
Development of sedentary communities in the Maya lowlands
Significance The results of our research at the lowland Maya site of Ceibal add to the growing archaeological understanding that the transition to sedentism did not necessarily occur simultaneously across different social groups within a region and that monumental constructions did not always postdate fully established sedentism. Whereas sedentary and mobile populations are, in many cases, interpreted to have maintained separate communities, our …

Early Ceremonial Constructions at Ceibal, Guatemala, and the Origins of Lowland Maya Civilization
Early Mayan Architects Lowland Mayan civilizations began to construct dramatic pyramids beginning about 900 BCE. The cultural origins of these civilizations have been uncertain, particularly the connection to earlier Olmec cultures along the Gulf of Mexico. Inomata et al. (p. 467 ; see the cover; see the News story by Pringle ) describe excavations and extensive radiocarbon dating at the early Mayan city of Ceibal in Guatamala. The site shows inc…
Culture and Practice of War in Maya Society
Warriors, Nobles, Commoners and Beasts
Figurines and figurine fragments excavated at Aguateca, Petén, Guatemala, have unprecedented contextual information. Because the site's epicenter was rapidly abandoned, we have recovered whole and reconstructible figurines from floor contexts in elite residences. In contrast to most Maya sites, these figurines are part of assemblages that were in use or storage when the structures were abandoned, providing a unique opportunity to investigate thei…
The Political Geography and Territoriality of 14th-Century Settlements in the Mogollon Highlands of East-Central Arizona
Domestic and Political Lives of Classic Maya Elites
The Aguateca Archaeological Project conducted extensive excavations of elite residences at the Maya center of Aguateca, which was attacked by enemies and abandoned rapidly at the end of the Classic period. Burned buildings contained rich floor assemblages, providing extraordinary information on the domestic and political lives of Classic Maya elites. Each elite residence served for a wide range of domestic work, including the storage, preparation…
In the Palace of the Fallen king
The Aguateca Archaeological Project extensively excavated two structures (M7-22 andM7-32) in the Palace Group of the Late Classic Maya (A.C. 600–830) center of Aguateca, Guatemala. Multiple lines of evidence, including site layout, architectural features, soil chemistry, objects stored in a sealed room, and abandonment processes, suggest that these were the buildings where the ruler and his family lived and worked. The use of space in these struc…
Ceramic Evidence for Community Reorganization and Change in East-Central Arizona
We present a brief synthesis of current ceramic research in the Grasshopper region of east-central Arizona. Through a detailed analysis of ceramic technology and composition, coupled with observations of archaeological formation processes, we argue that the late Pueblo III-Pueblo IV period ceramic assemblages in the region document an instance of rapid change in manufacture and circulation patterns. Intensification and diversification of ceramic …
Ceramic Commodities and Common Containers
For more than a century, the study of ceramics has been a fundamental base for archaeological research and anthropological interpretaion in the American Southwest. The widely distributed White Mountain Red Ware has frequently been used by archaeologists to reconstruct late 13th and 14th century Western Pueblo sociopolitical and socioeconomic organization. Relying primarily on stylistic analyses and the relative abundance of this ceramic ware in s…

The Canyon Creek Turquoise Mine, Arizona
Turquoise mines near Canyon Creek Ruin (AZ V:2:100 [ASM]), on the escarpment of the Grasshopper plateau in east-central Arizona, provide a supply-side perspective on the production and distribution of one of Precolumbian North America's most highly valued commodities. Although a minimum of 1,000 work days were spent by prehistoric peoples in quarrying at Canyon Creek, the site has been overlooked as a significant turquoise source. Compositional a…
