  • A Lowland Maya Calendar Round-Long Count Conversion Computer Program

    Open AccessClifford M Krowne, Raymond V Sidrys et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1979References: 3

    A Fortran computer program is presented that converts Lowland Maya Calendar Round dates to their equivalent Long Count dates, and the reverse, for the period 1139 B.C. - A.D. 2012 [5.0.0.0.0 to 13.0.0.0.0.]. Additional features include a calculation of the number of days that separate the submitted Long Count date from the completion dates of the prior three important calendric cycles [Sacred Round, Civil Year, and Calendar Round]. This program s…

  • High-Precision Chemical Characterization of Major Obsidian Sources in Guatemala

    Open AccessFrank Asaro, Helen V Michel et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1978Cited by: 25References: 7

    The important Mesoamerican obsidian source El Chayal has been carefully explored and sampled. Forty new source specimens have been subjected to neutron activation analysis, and the composition patterns are recorded and compared. The westernmost of the known Guatemalan obsidian sources, Tajamulco, has also been studied. Precise analytical data are also reported for the important Ixtepeque and Rio Pixcaya sources. In addition, the complete analytic…

  • Classic Maya Obsidian Trade

    Open AccessRaymond V SidrysARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1976Cited by: 22References: 15

    The obsidian artifact distribution in some 13,000 m3 of excavated fill from 17 Maya sites is analyzed. Large regional centers, characterized by abundant monumental art and architecture, have five times more obsidian per capita than do smaller centers. Central place redistribution, rather than central place market exchange (Rathje 1971), appears to be the best organizational mode for this long-distance trade. That is, obsidian in the Late Preclass…

  • A Lowland Maya Long Count/Gregorian Conversion Computer Program

    Open AccessRaymond V Sidrys, Clifford M Krowne et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1975Cited by: 4References: 4

    A Fortran computer program is presented which converts Lowland Maya Long Count dates into their equivalent Gregorian dates, and the reverse, for the period post-A.D. 100. The program uses the Modified Thompson 2 Correlation Constant, but other Correlation Constants can also be employed. This program does not offer a new correlation hypothesis
