  • Middle Preclassic Pottery Production and Exchange in the Northern Maya Lowlands: An Icp-MS Analysis

    Open AccessEvan Parker, George J Bey et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2022Cited by: 2

    Evidence of complex and widespread occupations during the Middle Preclassic (1000–350 b.c.) have been identified throughout the Northern Maya Lowlands and are associated with both Mamom and pre-Mamom ceramics. Beyond typological information based on the visual examination of paste, slip, and surface treatment, archaeologists know little about the technology or economics of pottery production and exchange of this period. In this study, we analyze …

  • Reexamining the Role of Conflict in the Development of Puuc Maya Society

    George J Bey, George J Bey III et al.CHAPTERSeeking Conflict in Mesoamerica2019

    It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.(Pratchett and Gaiman 1990, 39) For decades prior to the 1980s, when our ability to read ancient texts became more fully developed, the narrative of the ancient Maya as peaceful stargazers dominated and even directed early stud…

  • Lime Powder Production in the Maya Puuc Region (A.D. 600–950): An Experimental Pit-Kiln

    Kenneth Seligson, Kenneth E Seligson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2017Cited by: 5References: 15

    Powdered lime was one of the most significant materials in the daily lives of the Prehispanic Maya, yet archaeologists have uncovered relatively little evidence of production methods or locales prior to the Spanish conquest. The recent identification of a series of pit-kilns dating to the Late and Terminal Classic periods (ca. a.d. 650–950) in and around the site of Kiuic in the Puuc region of the northern lowlands of the Yucatán Peninsula provid…

  • Using Multiple Lines of Evidence to Identify Prehispanic Maya Burnt-Lime Kilns in the Northern Yucatán Peninsula

    Open AccessKenneth E Seligson, Tomás Gallareta Negrón et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2017Cited by: 5References: 17

    This study discusses the investigation of a series of pit-kilns in and around the prehispanic site of Kiuic in the Puuc region of the northern Maya lowlands and presents the multiple lines of evidence that identify these structures as lime production features. The study reports the results of systematic excavations, archaeometric analyses, archaeological experiments, ethnographic inquiries, and spatial analyses. Burnt lime has been used for archi…

  • Evidence from Escalera al Cielo: Abandonment of a Terminal Classic Puuc Maya hill complex in Yucatán, Mexico

    Stephanie R Simms, Stephanie Simms et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2012Cited by: 7References: 25

    Excavations at the hilltop site of Escalera al Cielo, located in the Puuc Maya region of Yucatán, Mexico, have uncovered evidence of a planned abandonment at the end of the Terminal Classic period (a.d. 800–950). Six buildings investigated among three residential groups contain rich floor assemblages similar to those known from only a few rapidly abandoned sites in the Maya area. Through an analysis of de facto refuse—most of which was recovered …

  • Warfare, Ceramic Economy, and the Itza: A Reconsideration of the Itza Polity in Ancient Yucatan

    Open AccessTravis W Stanton, Tomás Gallareta NegrónARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2001Cited by: 14

    Models of polity organization in the northern Maya lowlands are often based on the distribution of ceramic types. These models do not account for crucial links between the processes of ceramic production, distribution, use, and discard and sociopolitical relationships. We discuss several models of ceramic economy. These models suggest that the distribution of some serving vessels may encode information concerning sociopolitical relationships. The…

  • The Return of Quetzalcoatl: Evidence for the spread of a world religion during the Epiclassic period

    Open AccessWilliam M Ringle, Tomás Gallareta Negrón et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica1998Cited by: 95References: 61

    Continuing analysis of the site of Chichen Itza suggests that its construction dates primarily to the Late Classic period, ca.a.d.700–1000, rather than the Early Postclassic. This paper examines the implications of this redating for the well-known “Toltec” problem. Since Chichen largely antedated Tollan-phase Tula, we conclude that what is usually identified as Toltec imagery in fact dates to an earlier Epiclassic horizon extending from Morelos a…
