Archaeological Research at the Lowland Maya City of Rio Azul
Five seasons of archaeological fieldwork at the Maya lowland site of Rio Azul are summarized. The site is an urban center located on the Rio Azul. The locality was occupied from at least 900 B.C. to ca. A.D. 800. Farming villages gave way ca. 150 B.C. to communities that built large platforms, and the urban center was established about A.D. 200. Rio Azul apparently was conquered by Tikal ca. A.D. 380 and became a frontier city and commercial cent…
Cacao Residues in Ancient Maya Vessels from Rio Azul, Guatemala
Results of chemical analyses on residues collected from ceramic vessels found in an Early Classic period Maya tomb revealed that certain of the residues contained theobromine and caffeine, a clear indication that the corresponding vessels once contained cacao in some form. One of the vessels yielding cacao residues is decorated with hieroglyphs, two of which we believe have the phonetic values for the word 'cacao' in the Mayan language. These fin…

Climatic change, culture, and civilization in North America
Analysis of modern climatic data suggests a pattern of response to global cooling for precipitation in Mesoamerica and North America. Also research in palaeoclimatology has defined a series of globally warm and cold periods for the Holocene. This paper joins the study of modern and palaeoclimate into a time‐series model which appears to explain some of the florescences and declines of civilizations in the region during the last 3,000 years. Econo…

Sabloff attributes agreement by Adams to his interpretation of evidence from the Pasion River. Adams still dissents on evidential grounds from Sabloff's views, and offers an alternative
Reply to Haviland
Haviland's assertion that cognatic kinship organization is typical of Late Classic Maya is examined and matrilineal and double descent alternatives suggested. Lineages are suggested as represented in small residential groups at Tikal rather than clans

Maya Archaeology 1958-1968, A Review
This paper is a survey of Maya archaeology of the last ten years. A brief historical examination of the years prior to 1958 is made. There follows an intensive look at fieldwork from 1958 to 1968. An examination is made of the state of the field with respect to research design and analytical techniques along with a consideration of data contributed by collateral fields. On the level of explanation and synthesis, there is an examination of the maj…
A Refutation of R. G. Baker's Thesis of Recarving and Alteration of Maya Monuments
Citation in a reputable publication of the idea put forth by R. G. Baker (1962) that Maya monuments were altered and recarved from time to time makes it necessary to evaluate the thesis. Examination of the evidence presented by Baker leads to the conclusion that most of the putative alterations are the result of differential weathering, and unfamiliarity with Maya sculpture. In addition, Baker has interpreted 19th-century mutilation as being anci…
