Drawing first blood from Maya ceramics at Copán, Honduras
Residue analysis yielded trace blood residues on inside surfaces of four vessels of the Ventaron ceramic type from the Maya site of Copn, Honduras. Microscopy, biochemical detection of the heme subunit of hemoglobin/myoglobin and an immunological test all confirm the presence of blood. This identification supports the hypothesis that the Ventaron vessel type was used for blood ritual purposes during the Classic period
A Spectroscopic Investigation of Pigment and Ceramic Samples From Copán, Honduras
A combination of micro‐Raman spectroscopy, micro‐infrared spectroscopy and SEM–EDX was employed to characterize decorative pigments on Classic Maya ceramics from Copán, Honduras. Variation in red paint mixtures was correlated with changing ceramic types and improvements in process and firing techniques. We have confirmed the use of specular hematite on Coner ceramics by the difference in intensities of Raman bands. Different compositions of brown…
Raman microprobe analysis of stucco samples from the buildings of Maya Classic Copan
The Pectorals of Altar Q and Structure 11
The internal structure of Maya governing elites has been much debated over the last decade. In the perspective of that debate, I propose a model of political organization at Copán at the end of the Late Classic (A. D. 750-800) based on a reinterpretation of two monuments that depict members of the governing elite, each one wearing a pectoral. The analysis of the pectorals leads to the identification of two functional groups, priests and warriors.…
