Four Santa Elena monuments from Balancan museum, Tabasco, Mexico
The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that the corpus of hieroglyphic inscriptions of Santa Elena, located in the municipality of Balancan in the territory of the modern state of Tabasco, is not large, and most of the references to its rulers are taken from the texts of other monuments. The inscriptions analyzed in the study have not previously been fully introduced into scientific circulation. The aim of this study is to analyze…
The “Eclipse Glyph” in Maya Text and Iconography
The “eclipse glyph,” as it is called by most people in our field, is not referring to eclipses, but rather to the darkened sun and moon associated with heavy rainfall or darkened skies. This glyph is composed of the sun sign or moon sign (occasionally others) between two flanking fields, usually one light and one dark, and is found principally in the Postclassic divinatory almanacs of the Maya codices. Evidence for this proposal comes from iconog…
Wahil Kol. A Yucatec Maya Agricultural Ceremony
In April, 1978, a Maya agricultural ceremony known as Wahil Kol was performed in Becanchen, a town in the State of Yucatan, Mexico. This paper presents a detailed description of that ceremony, and then addresses certain questions. How does this ceremony compare with descriptions of similar ceremonies recorded by various ethnographers during the last 100 years? What are the main elements of the ceremony? Which parts of the ceremony have changed ov…

Testing the effectiveness of government transfers for agricultural revenue stabilization
The Paris Codex
The Sky in Mayan Literature
A Dresden Codex Mars Table
The proposal that the Prehispanic Maya recorded the revolutions of the planet Mars was made in the 1920s, and subsequently dismissed by Eric Thompson. Victoria Bricker and Harvey Bricker, followed by John Justeson, have rekindled the debate by proposing new lines of evidence supporting a "Mars Table" in the Dresden Codex. A review of the evidence does not support their contention and concludes that Thompson, following Seler, was essentially corre…
