Verapaz Statistics
Open AccessLawrence H FeldmanARTICLEEstudios de Cultura Maya2013
The Alta Verapaz of Guatemala is unique in Mesoamerica because of the lack of a violent hispanic conquest and subsequent encomendero exploitation (cf. Saint-Lu, 1968). The absence of such a conquest allows it to be used as a model against which one can test other theories of population decline and change in the Colonial period. The purpose of this paper is to provide data allowing those who wish to prepare these type of models using the Kekchi (G…

Padrones may provide a measure of the degree of interaction between ceramic producers and their neighbors. Relaciones have descriptions of the manufacture of ceramic artifacts plus details on function and appearance. Vocabularios provide an inventory of the ceramic artifacts in use at …

The Earliest Lowland Maya? Definition of the Swasey Phase
Open AccessNorman Hammond, Duncan Pring et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1979Cited by: 20References: 8
Recent excavations in Belize have resulted in the discovery of an earlier period of sedentary occupation than has hitherto been documented in the Maya Lowlands. The Swasey phase is stratigraphically antecedent to occupations of the early Middle Formative, the earliest horizon located until now, and associated radiocarbon dates suggest a persistence from 2000-1000 b.c./2500-1300 B.C. The ceramic and lithic material culture of the phase are describ…

Axes of Stone and Metal Indices for a Time of Transition
Open AccessLawrence H FeldmanARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1974
The beginning of the end of the dominance of stone tools, in Europe, began with the spread of the use of metallic axes. A suggestion is made that in Mesoamerica, as in Europe, the metallic axe was replacing those of stone, while other stone tools remained in common use

Recently, an article appeared in American Antiquity that attempted to correct and supplement Don E. Crabtree's ethnohistoric discussion of obsidian blade making. Unfortunately, this article did not probe as deeply as was possible into the available source material. As a supplement to a supplement, this note traces the antecedents of the sources given and provides relevant portions of those earlier texts
