  • Palygorskite from Sacalum, Yucatán in Maya Blue From the Eastern Maya Lowlands

    Open AccessDean E Arnold, Joseph W Ball et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2025Referencias: 49

    Maya Blue is a unique hybrid pigment created by combining organic indigo with the inorganic clay mineral palygorskite. First used for architectonic decoration in the Terminal Preclassic, it became widespread in the Late Classic on figurines, murals, and elite ceramics. Unlike indigo, it is notable for its durability and resistance to degradation by acids, alkalines, organic solvents and fading. The authors analyzed 17 samples of Maya Blue on pott…

  • The Materiality of Social Memory

    Dean E Arnold, Hayley Schumacher Wynne et al.ARTICLEEthnoarchaeology2013Citada por: 4Referencias: 14

    This paper explores the means by which potters in Ticul, Yucatán, Mexico, materialized their social memory in the gremio festival to honor a 'Black Christ.' The gremio's 'Black Christ' is associated with the emergence of a unique indigenous Yucatecan identity in the 17th century, but the gremio activities also materially express occupation, social class, kinds of social relations, and multiple levels of social identity in their performance and in…

  • The first direct evidence for the production of Maya Blue

    Open AccessDean E Arnold, Jason R Branden et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2008Citada por: 5Referencias: 25

    Maya Blue is a colour that is more than a pigment; it had roles in status, ritual and performance, being daubed onto pots and people before sacrifice. Here researchers use experimental and historical evidence to discover how it was made, including direct scientific analysis of Maya Blue on a pot thrown into the sacred well at Chichén Itzá. The results indicate that the formation of the colour was actually part of the ritual

  • Sourcing the Palygorskite Used in Maya Blue

    Open AccessDean E Arnold, Hector Neff et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2007Citada por: 21Referencias: 24

    Maya Blue is an unusual blue pigment consisting of a clay-organic complex of indigo and the unusual clay mineral palygorskite (also called attapulgite). Used on pottery, sculpture, and murals from the Preclassic to Late Colonial periods largely in Mesoamerica, blue was the color of sacrifice and ritual. Did the palygorskite used to make Maya Blue come from a restricted source in Yucatán like Shepard, Arnold, Arnold and Bohor believed, or from wid…

  • Maya Blue and Palygorskite

    Open AccessDean E ArnoldARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica2005Citada por: 11Referencias: 17

    Maya Blue is an unusual blue pigment used on pottery, sculpture, and murals from the Preclassic to the Colonial period. Until the late 1960s, its composition was unknown, but chemists working in Spain, Belgium, Mexico, and the United States identified Maya Blue as a combination of indigo and the unusual clay mineral palygorskite (also called attapulgite). A source of palygorskite in the Maya area was unknown for years; then ethnoarchaeological re…

    Contemporary pottery and raw materials (N= 170) from three workshops in Ticul, Yucatán, were analysed by neutron activation to test the hypothesis that individual workshops that used their own clay sources could be identified by their pottery. Although the data failed to confirm the hypothesis, the results reinforced previous conclusions about the relationship of local communities of potters to the chemical patterning of pottery made in these com…
