Digital reconstruction of a serpent column at Chichen Itza's El Castillo
Atop El Castillo, the largest pyramid within the Maya site of Chichen Itza, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, stand two ruined columns that once portrayed the feathered serpent deity K'uk'ulkan. 3D-imaging technologies have identified scattered sculptural fragments belonging to these columns, allowing a digital reconstruction that opens new possibilities for their conservation

A Reassessment of the Middle Preclassic in Northern Quintana Roo
The Proyecto Costa Escondida
Although Maya scholars have referenced coastal settlements in the more general discourse on past landscapes, coastal landscapes have only rarely been the explicit focus of research programs. Coastal peoples, however, faced distinct challenges and opportunities not shared by their inland neighbors. These had material ramifications in terms of the specific decisions coastal inhabitants made over time while trying to take advantage of opportunities …
The Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda
The authors explore a novel interdisciplinary approach to researching, collecting and communicating local site-specific data on recent sea-level rise using persistent black-zone biotic levels evident on historical coastal stone structures by a stable community of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. Photographs taken at the Dockyard in 1870, 2007 and 2017 show an upward shift in this living cyanobacterial commu…
Flexibility of Dense 3D Data Capture
The knowledge and study of built heritage is now deeply connected to methodologies associated with the capture of surface details via the production of point-data. These methodologies enable researchers to gather a wider range of information, which is increasingly more connected to technological advances. Such approaches influence the management of data, and these data are often redundant due to the ways in which they are captured. Massive data c…
In the Realm of Rain Gods
Regional rock art studies have provided insight into the role of caves in Maya ideology and worldview. In addition to the content of the imagery itself, the placement or siting of rock art with respect to natural and cultural features within the cave environment can reveal much about the function and meaning of cave use practices. This comparative analysis of rock art emphasizes contextual considerations with a discussion on the spatial and symbo…
Shallow geophysical exploration at the ancient maritime Maya site of Vista Alegre, Yucatan Mexico
Geophysical methods are of great value when investigating or searching for archaeological sites because of their ability to cover a large area in a short time and reveal features and aspects of unexcavated locations. In submerged archaeological sites, the use of seismic survey methods is especially important, as the excavation process is more complicated than at typical terrestrial sites. While the terrestrial portion of the maritime Maya site of…
Interregional Interaction in Terminal Classic Yucatan
We use ceramic and obsidian data from the ancient Maya port site of Vista Alegre to discuss long-distance exchange during the Terminal Classic (c. AD 850-1100) period. This is a time often associated with increased international trade relations and the growth of Chichen Itza as a dominant regional power in the northern Maya lowlands. Critical to the increased volume of international trade were the merchants who transported goods along the coast o…
Late Pleistocene Human Skeleton and mtDNA Link Paleoamericans and Modern Native Americans
American Beauty Modern Native American ancestry traces back to an East Asian migration across Beringia. However, some Native American skeletons from the late Pleistocene show phenotypic characteristics more similar to other, more geographically distant, human populations. Chatters et al. (p. 750 ) describe a skeleton with a Paleoamerican phenotype from the eastern Yucatan, dating to approximately 12 to 13 thousand years ago, with a relatively com…
El Proyecto Costa Escondida
El Proyecto Costa Escondida iniciado en 2006 se dise para investigar las culturas martimas previas y posteriores al contacto espaol, as como para estudiar el paisaje del norte de Quintana Roo, Pennsula de Yucatn, Mxico. Este proyecto no promueve una agenda de desarrollo "tradicional", sino que se inserta en la crtica del desarrollo para ampliar los lmites del compromiso comunitario a travs del aprendizaje social. Al encontrarse lejos de los princ…
A Reappraisal of Ancient Maya Cave Mining
Throughout the world caves are often important sacred landmarks whose dark zones tend to be restricted spaces reserved for religious rituals. The function and meaning of activities conducted within these spaces are categorically different than physically similar activities conducted at the surface. Archaeology has been slow to integrate this fact into the analysis of cave features. Recently discovered evidence of extractive activities within Maya…
