A Chol (Mayan) Vocabulary from 1789
The earliest known Chol (Mayan) vocabulary was recorded in Tila, Chiapas (Mexico), in 1789 (Fernández 1892). Chol is absent from the sixteenth- and seventeenth‐century Relaciones Geográficas (Harvey 1972), and there are no known catechisms, confessionaries, or grammars from the Colonial period. The next significant collection of Chol lexicon was made in the late nineteenth century (Stoll [1884] 1938). The 1789 list is thus the only extensive sour…
The Missing Heir at Yaxchilán
The site of Yaxchilán (Chiapas, Mexico) is one of the best-known Classic Maya cities, despite relatively little stratigraphic excavation. The dynastic history of the site is recorded in numerous legible inscriptions and was worked out more than 30 years ago by Tatiana Proskouriakoff (1963, 1964) in her epoch-making historical interpretations. A historical puzzle left by Proskouriakoff and later investigators is a 10-year gap (A.D. 742-752) betwee…

Early Agriculture in the Maya Lowlands
Wetland research in northern Belize provides the earliest evidence for development of agriculture in the Maya Lowlands. Pollen data confirm the introduction of maize and manioc before 3000 B.C. Dramatic deforestation, beginning ca. 2500 B.C. and intensifying in wetland environments ca. 1500-1300 B.C., marks an expansion of agriculture, which occurred in the context of a mixed foraging economy. By 1000 B.C. a rise in groundwater levels led farmers…
Participant Tracking in Maya Hieroglyphic Texts
Advances in the decipherment of Classic Period (A.D. 300-900) Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions have made it possible to use discourse analysis to investigate the literary style of Maya monuments. This article discusses the identification of protagonists whose names have been deleted from key passages for dramatic effect, using current knowledge of Classic Maya discourse, including verb morphology, syntax, episodic structure of narrative texts, the …
