  • Distant provenance of archaeological dogs in Chiapas confirms complex trade networks within Mayan societies

    Open AccessE H Paris, Clément P Bataille et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2026References: 57

    This study investigates the origin, exchange and diet of archaeological dog specimens of highland Chiapas, located on the western Maya frontier, historically well-known for its overland trade routes and merchant activity. We developed a new strontium isoscape for the Maya area based on random forest regression, using a compilation of bioavailable 87 Sr/ 86 Sr from North America augmented by 45 new bioavailable 87 Sr/ 86 Sr samples from plants col…

    Open AccessJennifer L Meanwell, E H Paris et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2025References: 56

    Greenstone is commonly used to produce culturally significant items across Mesoamerica, including axes, earspools, figurines, and beads. This research characterizes the mineralogy of greenstone materials recovered from sites in the Jovel Valley, Chiapas, Mexico, to document the range of green minerals utilized by the inhabitants. Our analysis of the objects suggests that the Late Classic and Early Postclassic Maya of the Jovel Valley had access t…

Las excavaciones arrojaron también restos de talla, alisadores de piedra, caracoles, semillas y ce…

  • Applications of Micro-CT Imaging in Age-At-Death Estimates of Maya Dogs

    Open AccessMiranda George, E H Paris et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2024References: 13

    While there are many techniques for estimating age-at-death in archaeological dogs, the pulp cavity/tooth width ratio is considered one of the most accurate methods. This study adapts this technique for application to MicroCT imaging, a non-destructive methodology that is rapidly gaining ground in faunal analysis. Mandibular first molar and upper and lower canine teeth recovered from two Late Classic-Early Postclassic period sites in the Maya hig…

  • A Funerary Cave at Moxviquil, Chiapas, Mexico

    E H Paris, Roberto López Bravo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2020Cited by: 4References: 48

    This article presents the excavation results of a funerary cave at the site of Moxviquil, located in the Jovel Valley of central highland Chiapas, Mexico. Diagnostic ceramics from funerary offerings suggest that the use of the cave spanned the principal occupation at the site, including Late Classic (a.d. 600–900) and Early Postclassic (a.d. 900–1250) periods. The offerings situate the Moxviquil cave within an extensive tradition of Mesoamerican …
