  • The identification and work of an eighth-century Maya mathematician

    Open AccessFranco D Rossi, David Stuart et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026

    Maya glyphic texts from the Classic period (250–900 CE) typically chronicle the exploits of historical or divine characters; everyday or functional records are rare. Here, the authors offer a reconstruction and transcription of a ‘microtext’ painted on an interior wall of Structure 10K-2 at the site of Xultun, Guatemala. The text records a unique astronomical formula that concludes with a name, attributing the work to an individual named Sak Tahn…

  • The Fox and the Armadillo

    Open AccessSarah Newman, Franco D Rossi et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2023Cited by: 1References: 38

    This article investigates Classic Maya understandings of two particular animal species: the (gray) fox and the armadillo. We use these species as a point of entry into Classic Maya categorizations of the non-human animal world, examining the salient biological and physical characteristics of those animals that Classic-period artists and scribes chose to highlight. Rather than accepting the creatures depicted on painted pottery or referenced in hi…

  • Reckoning with the Popular Uptake of Alien Archaeology

    Franco D Rossi, Franco RossiARTICLEPublic Archaeology2019References: 7

    This article summarizes my experience at Baltimore AlienCon in 2018. The programme offered a curious blend of themes explored in Ancient Aliens and similar programming, alongside other domains of ‘pseudoscience’, ‘rogue’ archaeology, and conspiracy theory, with an added touch of science-fiction fandom and marketing for Prometheus Entertainment. Framed by the event, this article considers aliens, heritage, and belonging in the United States at a m…

  • Changing Stages

    William Saturno, Franco D Rossi et al.CHAPTER2018

  • Pedagogy and State

    Open AccessFranco D Rossi, Franco RossiARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal2018Cited by: 1

    Education is notoriously difficult to identify archaeologically, but crucial for understanding the inner workings of any society. Strikingly, in Mesoamerican archaeology, more seems to be known about the transmission of crafting skills than about practices of statecraft. Elsewhere in the ancient world, much evidence speaks to various social and institutional contexts in which specialized knowledge of histories, literacies, civics, and sciences wa…

  • Time to Rule

    William A Saturno, William Saturno et al.CHAPTERMaya E Groups2017

    This chapter presents an archaeology of the Las Pinturas complex at the site of San Bartolo, Guatemala, where recent excavations have revealed three well-known architectural forms overlaid in close context—a ballcourt, an E Group, and a triadic complex. The developmental sequence of these architectural complexes highlights both significant changes and continuities in ceremonial expression during the final four centuries of the Preclassic Period (…

  • A Mayacuria Regis

    Open AccessWilliam Saturno, Franco D Rossi et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2017Cited by: 6References: 23

    This article presents an in-depth analysis of an important mural painting discovered within Structure 10K2 of the Los Sabios Group at the Classic Maya site of Xultun, Guatemala. We first discuss the composition of the mural scene and its central protagonist, a Late Classic period (a.d.550–900) ruler of Xultun named Yax We'nel Chan K'inich, suggesting that it presents a ritual performance associated with an ancient New Year ceremony. Several atten…

  • Maya Codex Book Production and the Politics of Expertise

    Open AccessFranco D Rossi, Franco Rossi et al.ARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist2015Cited by: 12References: 59

    The discovery of mural paintings at the Classic Maya site of Xultun, Guatemala, provides an important context for the study of ancient literacy and writing in practice. The mural chamber was a place of writing where the hands of multiple scribes recorded events and astronomical tabulations on walls that were also painted with portraits of ritual specialists and the reigning king. We present evidence suggesting that creation and inscription of ind…
