Military and political expansion of Uaxactun in the beginning of the Early Classic (4th century AD)
The subject of the study is related to the study of the dynastic history of Uaxactun, one of the most important political centers of the ancient Maya of the Late Formative and Early Classic periods. The relevance of the study is due to a new analysis of hieroglyphic inscriptions, conducted within the framework of a comprehensive program of redocumentation of Uaxactun monuments, carried out by the Regional Archaeological Project under the directio…
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…
Early State Formation in the Maya Lowlands in the Preclassic (1000 BCE - 150 CE)
The emergence of the state was one of the crucial moments in human history. Ancient Mesoamerica was one of two main areas of the state formation in the New World in pre-Columbian epoch. Archaeological projects in the Maya Lowlands during last decades shed new light on the early stages of the Maya politogenesis in the Preclassic period. Recent trend in the study of Mesoamerican complex polities consists in defining them just as ‘kingdoms’ without …

Appealing to the Gods and Ancestors: Ancient Maya Conch Shell Trumpets as Ritual Instruments
The use of trumpets made from the conch shells of large marine mollusks was one of the peculiar traits of Mesoamerican culture. The earliest evidence of this practice can be placed in the Middle Formative (I mil. BC), but this tradition persisted among the native population of Mexico until the 20 th century. Conch shell trumpets were excavated in many Maya sites (Uaxactun, Kaminaljuyu, Mayapan, Tikal, Dzibilchaltun etc.). Since the 1960s it was b…
A Syllabic Sign for [pe] in the Classic Maya Inscriptions
El artículo está dedicado al desciframiento del signo “cabeza de conejo” en la escritura jeroglífica maya del período clásico. Se puede identificar su valor de lectura como la sílaba pe gracias a dos observaciones – el signo se combina con el silabograma ‘e en el nombre de La Mar y parece a la letra “p” del alfabeto de Diego de Landa. Este valor silábico pe resulta en la lectura del nombre de La Mar como pe[pe]’tuun y en la identificación de dos …
Uaxactun After the Conquest by Teotihuacanos as Told by the Mural From Palace B-Xiii
The present study deals with the mural of Structure B-XIII of the archaeological site of Uaxactun in Guatemala. Although this mural was found in 1937 and initially aroused much interest, it does not appear in recent works, given its destruction a few years after its discovery. Many new discoveries in the Maya area have been made and this old one has been burdened with interpretations that are far from the current state of the art. So, we have dec…

Archaeological Survey in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico
We summarize the 3,000-year period of Prehispanic settlement in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico, based on our regional surveys. We focus on episodic transitions to compare regional trajectories in the Mixteca Alta and elsewhere in Oaxaca. The regularities in settlement pattern changes over so large an area suggest a common causal chain. The project was a full-coverage survey that recorded over 1000 sites in a 10-valley macroregion. The project…
