Maya Urban Activities during the Terminal Classic Collapse (AD 760–1000)
During the Terminal Classic period (AD 760–1000), Maya communities underwent a brief and violent political collapse, followed by a protracted period of instability that apparently culminated in an urban collapse as distinct from the earlier, political one. Rather than taking the kingdom or polity as the analytical unit, we propose to study the cities as actors in the collapse using the large and rich Terminal Classic datasets. A comprehensive dat…
Stories of Quarries
Maya quarries were sites of resource extraction. We cannot forget that they were also sites of labor, collaboration, and personal relationships. In this paper, we explore two case studies: quarrying and transporting limestone at Early Classic Naachtun of Petén, Guatemala, and extracting sascab (powdered limestone) at Late Classic Xunantunich, Belize. We offer quantitative analyses of these tasks using the methodology known as architectural energe…
Dealing with Uniqueness
This article describes a unique patolli board found in a large residential compound at the Classic period Maya site of Naachtun (Petén, Guatemala) and discusses its implications. While dozens of patolli engraved in stucco floors and benches are known, the example from Naachtun has divisions outlined with sherds inlaid in the fresh mortar. This way of creating the board may provide a fresh perspective on the way the game was played, as it indicate…
Historical trajectories and individual lives
In the analysis of funerary practices, burials that deviate from apparent standards always attract particular attention. In the Maya area, due to the regional variability of these practices, it may be tempting to attribute such anomalies to individuals of foreign origin. However, other possibilities exist. Recent advances in the understanding of the history and dynamics of the Maya city of Naachtun (Guatemala) provide an opportunity to examine th…
The contribution of 3D models to the study of stone monuments in the Maya area
The Maya area is known for its numerous monuments sculpted in limestone, which suffered severe erosion over time. The Mayas used soft limestone, which is sensitive to weathering, to carve iconographic motives and inscriptions on stelae, altars and panels. A systematic program of documentation was developed for monuments considered plain-without reliefs visible to the naked eye. Thanks to photogrammetry and various treatments generated from photog…
Estimation of Early Classic Maya Population
Most population estimates for Maya sites are for the Late Classic period, a time of peak population in the Central Maya Lowlands. At Naachtun, Guatemala, a major city during the Early Classic that continued into the Late Classic period, researchers recently carried out an ambitious program of test pitting in residential areas; its aim was to model the growth of residential units during the entire Classic period and so better contextualize the ris…
