Years without Count: Building the Chronology of the Narratives on El Resbalón Hieroglyphic Stairways
This report discusses the chronology of the sixth-century hieroglyphic stairways of El Resbalón that has confounded prior investigations. These narratives contain historical and deep-time sections. The former follow regular chronological and syntactical conventions. The deep-time sections of the texts present multiple aberrations that appear to be rhetorical or ritual devices, rather than calculation mistakes. The departure from the conventional …
A Closer Look at Classic Maya Urbanism at Dzibanche/Kaanu'l through Airborne Lidar Mapping
A 103 km2 aerial lidar survey of Dzibanche/Kaanu'l, Mexico, reveals the city's settlement to be more populous and well-organized than previously thought. The sprawling settlement incorporated the early center of Ichkabal in a network of smaller peri-urban civic-ceremonial nodes. The density and complexity of the Kaanu'l settlement is consistent with its extraordinary political reach as a multiregional hegemonic state. The city and settlement grew…
The rise of the Kaanuˀl kingdom and the city of Dzibanche
The Kaanuˀl dynasty ruled a hegemonic state with political influence over much of the Classic Maya Lowlands between a.d. 520 and 751. The present article introduces the subject for a special section of the journal, which refocuses attention on the archaeological zone of Dzibanche in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, where new data are emerging about the origins of the Kaanuˀl dynasty, its urban organization, and its connections to neighboring center…
New data, new interpretations: Dzibanche monuments through the lenses of a 3D scanner
This article presents some preliminary results of the first field season of 3D documentation of buildings, monuments, and portable artifacts from the archaeological site of Dzibanche in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Documentation took place at Dzibanche, in the INAH regional research center in Chetumal, and in the Maya Museum of Cancun. Part of the resultant corpus of imagery and inscriptions has not been previously disseminated in academic literature. T…
El estilo Río Bec visto desde Dzibanché y Kohunlich
Hallazgos recientes (2009) en Dzibanché arrojan nueva luz sobre la relación de este sitio con su vecino más cercano, Kohunlich, y la región Río Bec. Nuevas hipótesis permiten explicar la penetración del estilo arquitectónico Río Bec en un sitio tan distante como Kohunlich, especialmente si se considera la cercanía con Dzibanché, un sitio qué, por su tamaño, fué el sitio de gran dominio. Así mismo se proponen nuevas ideas sobre la dinastía Kan dur…
