The use of the Xultun Lunar Table in the Lunar Series at Yaxchilan
As is known, Yaxuun B’ahlam IV [1], also known as Bird Jaguar IV, acceded to the throne of Yaxchilan on 9.16.1.0.0 11 Ajaw 8 Sek (April 29, 752). This date marks the end of the first tun after k’atun ending at 9.16.0.0.0 [2]. This critical date is recorded on at least six monuments at Yaxchilán [3]. Interestingly, Stela 11 displays twice this accession date on the base panel and a lateral side. Curiously, the date of accession is followed by two …
Ah ch'ibal canob: Rethinking celestial animals in the Paris Codex 23-24
Pages 23 and 24 of the Post-Classic Paris Codex contain figures of thirteen celestial beasts interpreted as Maya zodiacal constellations. Traditional scholarship has long attempted to identify those animals with Western zodiacal constellations. Assuming this is correct, it would mean the Maya had chosen thirteen figures or names to represent groupings of stars located on or near the ecliptic. Thus, contrary to twelve Western (Greek-Roman) zodiaca…
La vida bajo el cielo estrellado: La arqueoastronomía y etnoastronomía en Latinoamérica
Life under the starry sky is a collection of papers covering much of the most recent research in Latin American cultural astronomy. The contributors explore the astronomical knowledge and beliefs of Native American peoples, their importance for daily affairs, and reconstruct ancient calendrical and astronomical computations. This book is of particular interest to astronomers, historians, anthropologists and archaeologists, amateur astronomers, cu…
Rethinking Nahualac, Iztaccíhuatl, Mexico: Between Animism to Analogism in Mesoamerican Archaeoastronomy
The site of Nahualac (3890-3920 m asl) is situated on the western slopes of Iztaccihuatl, a well-known volcano in Central Mexico. It consists of a rectangular stone sanctuary located within the seasonally active small lagoon, and the distinct area where multiple deposits of ritual pottery were found. The piles of stone situated on the borders of the lagoon produce alignments towards the nearby and distant landforms offering broad vistas towards t…

Los ciclos en el derarrollo sociocultural en Mesoamérica: Estudios de caso en las tierras bajas mayas
El autor aplica los conceptos de estructuras disipativas y del equilibrio punteado al estudio de cuatro sitios mayas (Uaxactún, Altar de Sacrificios, Seibal y Piedras Negras). La estabilidad del sistema sociocultural se mide por el ritmo de aparición de las innovaciones. En cada sitio se observan periodos largos con pocas innovaciones, que sugieren la mayor estabilidad del sistema local y periodos cortos con numerosas innovaciones que denotan su …
La orientación de la estructura 33 de Yaxchilán: Una reevaluación
A finales de los años ochenta y principios de los noventa Carolyn Tate analizó una serie de rituales, descritos en las inscripciones de Yaxchilán, que sucedían al término del mes Yaxkin, el cual corresponde con las fechas cercanas al solsticio de verano en el calendario juliano, y surgió que existió una relación entre estos rituales y el evento solar. Parte de la evidencia textual fue plasmada en los dinteles de la Estructura 33. Además de presen…
De la astroarqueología a la astronomía cultural
El autor bosqueja las relaciones entre el estudio de las prácticas calendáricas y astronómicas y el contexto sociocultural al que corresponden durante los últimos treinta años. Los diversos cambios experimentados pueden simbolizarse en los nombres de la astroarqueología. la astronomía megalítica, la arqueoastronomía. la etnoastronomía y la astronomía cultural. El autor describe, además, el estado actual de esta disciplina y proporciona una amplia…
Archaeology and Archaeoastronomy of Mount Tlaloc, Mexico: A Reconsideration
This paper reevaluates the architectural remains atop Mount Tlaloc in light of recent contributions by Aveni et al. (1988), Broda (1989, 1991a, 1991b), and Townsend (1991). Evidence suggests that there were at least two phases of architectural activity on the mountain. An archaeoastronomical analysis of the ceremonial enclosure leads to the suggestion that the orientation of the structure reveals a paradigm marking out specific days by denoting p…
