The Sacbe System
When Shook was able to join the project, he immediately began to scout the outlying terrain and to investigate the background that allowed the development of so pretentious a city. Water supply was a point of interest, and of course pottery collection was in our minds at all times. The Indian laborers reported a cenote called Xtompul, some distance to the east, where pottery fragments were plentiful, and Shook promptly visited it, obtaining a goo…

Lesser Structures
At This stage of our knowledge of Aké it is premature to classify many mounds and platforms as “minor structures” even though our use of the designation “major structures” for the most conspicuous mounds makes such a classification logical. We designate these less spectacular mounds as “lesser structures” in an effort to avoid making judgments that we could not support with field data. Our visit to Aké was too brief to do more than record a few n…

Architectural Miscellany
Accounts of the monumental architecture occupy much of our text because features of lesser magnitude have suffered deterioration from weather, agriculture, and quarrying for recent building activity. A number of terrace façades are observable on some pyramids. The clearest of these appear in the north side of Str. 2 where the staircase is Hanked by terrace walls embellished with four large panels recessed nearly a half meter into the wall (Figs. …
Major Structures
The Major structures include: the large colonnaded platform recorded by Stephens and Charnay (Str. 1), a terraced pyramid with later Puuc-like remains (Str. 2), the Akabná with its intact corbeled vaults (Str. 11), a large superstructure on a high masonry platform (Str. 19), a superstructure on a platform (Str. 3), a very large pyramid (Str. 6), a high pyramid with a summit building (Str. 10), an acropolis complex (Str. 14), another high pyramid …
The Archaeology of the Cave of the Owls in the Upper Montana of Peru
Collections from an unusual cave site in the Peruvian Montaña near Tingo María are placed on record along with the circumstances under which they were obtained. The ceramic materials seem to represent two components. The more common of these, designated Cave of the Owls Fine Ware, would appear to have been contemporary with Kotosh II in the Huánuco Basin and with Late Tutishcainyo of the long ceramic sequence established for Yarinacocha near Puca…
