▼ The objective of this thesis is to examine the relationship between two Maya sites, Cahal Pech and Xunantunich, during Terminal Classic (780-950 CE) through ceramic variability. Until recently the Terminal Classic (TC) was often misunderstood as a time of the “Maya collapse.” The TC period is now understood as a complex time with shifting political tides possibly due to environmental pressures. New evidence from a TC deposit at Cahal Pech known as “south of H-1” shows an abundance of a specific decorated ware known as Mount Maloney Black (MMB), a type more closely associated with the neighboring site of Xunantunich. With the close proximity between the two sites (roughly 10 km) and given that Xunantunich was a politically influential civic center during this time, one might postulate that the MMB at Cahal Pech may indicate an influx from Xunantunich due to political or economic control over the site. However, the rim forms at Cahal Pech reflect that of an earlier style of MMB. This fact may indicate an emulation of the style by the residents of Cahal Pech, suggesting multiple production sites, or an early abandonment of Cahal Pech. This thesis uses the combined strategies of microphotography through the use of a portable digital microscope as well as thin section petrographic analysis to examine MMB pottery sherds from both Cahal Pech and Xunantunich to determine if they came from the same source. These approaches to ceramic analysis allow us to compare the mineral composition of the sherds from each site and to gather information about the ‘recipes’ used to make the MMB. From the data that were collected and analyzed, I suggest that there is some statistical significance between the mineral inclusions used in the MMB between the sites. Other lines of evidence such as texture, quantity of minerals, and thickness of sherds indicate possibly more than one production site. Comparing the MMB sherds found at Plaza H of Cahal Pech to Terminal Classic MMB at Xunantunich possibly sheds light on the interactions between these two sites and give a broader understanding of regional activities during the Terminal Classic.

▼ This dissertation is focused on the development and historical implications of the Early Classic El Diablo Palace, located at the Maya site of El Zotz, Guatemala. This study demonstrates that El Diablo Palace had five construction phases, all of them dating to the Early Classic period (A.D. 250-600). The earliest structures consisted of small platforms and temples, built on top of a hill. However, after the year A.D. 378, the architecture became more monumental and was decorated with molded stucco. Its location also shifted. Prior to A.D. 378, elite architecture was commonly built on top of hills, but during the second part of the fifth century the royal family of El Zotz moved downhill, into the valley. I suggest that the motivation behind the selection of a new landscape and the construction of monumental architecture was the alliance between El Zotz and Tikal after the arrival of Sihyaj K’ahk’. To better understand the implications of this alliance, I examine two important factors related to the A.D. 378 event. First, I propose that the Gulf of Mexico commerce road that crossed the territories of at least 11 settlements, including the Parka's region, was used by Sihyaj K’ahk’. Second, I study the consequences of the conquest of Tikal by the foreign warrior, which I propose created a period of peace, or Pax Tikalensis across the central Petén region. This period of relative peace was the main reason for the selection of a less-defensive landscape at El Zotz, and also played an important role in the standardization of central Petén traditions in the Southern Maya region. Finally, in this dissertation I explain how the research at El Zotz and the arrival of Sihyaj K’ahk’ also has implications in the 21st century, due to the fact that this historical event and El Zotz were selected by the Guatemalan government as destinations for a new tourist route with the intention to reinforce a nationalistic agenda in Guatemala. May not exceed 350 words. It should be a continuous description, not disconnected notes or an outline.

▼ Triple oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis of the structurally-bound water in gypsum can provide a direct measure of past hydrologic variability. This thesis presents the development of the water extraction and isotopic measurement procedures, the calculation of the gypsum-water isotope fractionation factors, and the application of the method to constrain the palaeohydrologic conditions in two temporally and geographically disparate sites. Measurement of the isotopic composition of gypsum hydration water is used to examine the hydrological changes that occurred during the Terminal Classic Drought of the Maya lowlands (~800-1000 CE), coincident with the period when the Classic Maya Civilization of Mesoamerica collapsed. The data provide a complete and direct archive of hydrological conditions that have previously been limited to ice core records. Mean annual rainfall is shown to have decreased by between 41% and 54%, with intervals of up to 70%, compared to present-day conditions. This study has also shown for the first time that relative humidity was 2%-7% lower during the Terminal Classic Drought compared to today. The methodology is also applied to the massive gypsum deposits in the marginal and deep basins of the Mediterranean to interpret the chemical evolution of parent water bodies during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97-5.3 Ma). By combining the measurement of gypsum hydration water with other traditional (e.g. strontium) and novel (e.g. calcium and barium) isotope tracers, the hydrological changes during the deposition of Primary Lower Gypsum units of the Sorbas Basin in southeastern Spain, the Upper Gypsum units of Sicily, and deep basin deposits have been constrained. The results indicate that all deposits experienced a significant freshwater contribution to the mother fluids from which they formed. It is proposed that obliquity-controlled sea level and eccentricity-modulated precession, superimposed on longer-term tectonic restriction of the Mediterranean-Atlantic exchange, together controlled the varying depositional environments during the formation of the Messinian Salt Giant. This thesis demonstrates that the analysis of gypsum hydration water is a powerful tool for palaeoclimate reconstruction. The methodology can be applied to gypsum (and other hydrated minerals) in a wide range of settings across geological space and time, providing a rich source of information about the environmental conditions under which they formed.

Anthropology

The dissertation examines the political organization of the ancient Maya during the Terminal Classic Period in the Cochuah Region of Quintana Roo. It evaluates the architecture and site layout of the secondary sites of Sacalaca and San Felipe, and tertiary and quaternary sites surrounding them in order to test political models. Our understanding of the ancient Maya political organization largely comes from Classic Period hieroglyphic texts recorded by Maya kings on public monuments. This reliance on only these kinds of data creates a limitation on the interpretation of political organization, and does not address the local scale of political institution within Maya polities. It also creates the illusion of a centralization of political organization and biases towards primary sites where hieroglyphic monuments are located. The alternative data available for the evaluation of political organization are the regional settlement pattern, individual site layouts and site architecture. Certain types of architecture such as acropoli, mortuary temples, formal plazas and ballcourts, are representative of the institutions of rulership permitting to determine the type of political organization. The distribution of this architecture within the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary sites will correlate to respective political models. Three models were chosen to be tested after reviewing the various models proposed for the political organization of the ancient Maya. These models are Dynastic Kingship, Mul Tepal, and the Segmentary State. The archaeological correlates of these models are identified and compared with the evidence provided by twenty sites in the Cochuah Region for both the early Terminal Classic Period -the Florescent Phase and the late Terminal Classic Period -the Post Florescent Phase. The conclusion is made that during the Florescent Phase the political organization in the Cochuah Region was a Segmentary State. In the Segmentary State the institution of rulership is found in sites occupying different levels in the settlement hierarchy. Sacalaca and San Felipe and their satellites exhibit a duplication of the institutions of rulership on a smaller scale. During the Post Florescent Phase data indicate the absence of authorities capable of providing order or enforcing laws and perhaps the absence of rulers during this time in the region. This case study demonstrates that some types of political organizations would be only visible through examination of secondary sites and their satellites. Also, this approach addresses the problem of relying on hieroglyphic texts and helps to overcome a bias of centralized political organization created by investigation limited to the primary centers.

▼ With an occupation that lasted almost 2000 years (1100 BC-AD 930), the ancient Maya center of Ceibal, located in the Maya lowlands of Guatemala, offers an important opportunity to expand our understanding of how increasing political centralization and social inequality are reflected in diet and migration patterns. Ceibal was occupied during several critical periods of social change in the Maya lowlands, including the development of sedentary communities during the Early and Middle Preclassic, and the emergence and decline of political regimens during the Late Preclassic and Classic periods. My research discusses the results of the isotopic analysis on 84 human burials excavated from Ceibal dating to 1100 BC–AD 950. Isotopes are chemical elements found in soil, food, and water, and are incorporated into the human body through ingestion. These materials leave an isotopic imprint, which is preserved in the teeth and bones and reflects the landscape where people live and the food they eat. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes were used to analyze the dietary practices at Ceibal, whereas oxygen, strontium, and lead were used to detect movements across the landscape. The earliest evidence of human remains at Ceibal dates to the end of the Early Preclassic (1100 BC), before the adoption of ceramics in the area. My research indicates that the Preceramic individuals buried at Ceibal consumed moderate amounts of maize along with meat and aquatic resources. No evidence of residential structures have been identified at Ceibal within this time period; however, around 1000 BC, people who lived in or frequented the area built the first version of a formal ceremonial space composed of a plaza and two pyramids in an east-west arrangement. The archeological investigations at Ceibal uncovered multiple greenstone axe caches buried along the central axes of these ceremonial structures, findings which suggest that a series of public rituals were conducted by the Ceibal Middle Preclassic community. The public rituals at Ceibal were probably attended by semi-mobile people, and they may characterize one of the earliest attempts of political centralization in the Maya lowlands. However, the isotopic composition does not support the idea that during the Early Preclassic or Middle Preclassic period Ceibal received migrants from the Olmec area. None of the Ceibal burials dating to these periods show strontium isotopes ratios suggesting a Gulf Coast, Pacific Coast, or Chiapa de Corzo origin. In contrast, the results from the isotope study indicate that the development of the Early and Middle Preclassic community at Ceibal likely originated from external social relations involving individuals from different regions of the southern lowlands, such as Peten, southeast Chiapas, south Belize, and southeast Tabasco. On the other hand, the isotope analysis also indicates that after the adoption of ceramics at Ceibal (around 1000 BC) maize consumption did not increase, and terrestrial and freshwater wild resources continued to be part of Ceibal residents’ diet.… Advisors/Committee Members: Inomata, Takeshi (advisor), Triadan, Daniela (advisor), Wright, Lori E.

▼ The research presented in this dissertation concerns preindustrial economic systems, specifically Classic Maya (A.D. 600-900) economic systems, using the site of Cancuen, Guatemala as a case study. The site of Cancuen was strategically located at the interface between the volcanic highlands and tropical lowlands of Guatemala, creating the ideal situation for the passage of highland trade goods, especially stone, on the way to the lowlands. The primary goal of this study was to explore the nature of craft specialization and exchange in the Classic Maya world through the analysis of stone tools and adornments, including jade, pyrite, obsidian, and chert. The nature of specialization and exchange was investigated through the typological, distributional, and sourcing analysis of lithic artifacts from Cancuen. The manufacturing sequences of these artifacts were then compared between households across the site, establishing the degree of control and power derived by the various social groups involved in craft production and exchange. The data at Cancuen indicate that production of prestige/ritual goods was completed in the early stages by domestic nonelite producers and then transferred to elite producers in domestic contexts who transformed them into ritually charged objects for circulation in the political economy. Elites afforded control over distribution of these prestige/ritual objects through a monopoly on esoteric knowledge and social prescriptions, such as sumptuary laws. Although elites did control the right of alienation and distribution of prestige goods and derived power from the ownership and gifting of those inalienable possessions, other social groups were able to challenge the existing power structure and gain power and prestige through the participation in the segmented production of those goods. Ritualized production of lithic artifacts was an important determinant of social identity for all status groups at Cancuen. Advisors/Committee Members: Barbara J. Mills (committee member), William R.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to describe the grammatical system of Classical Ch'olti', the language of the Classic Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions, as attested in inscriptions of the Early Classic (approximately AD 200-600). Around 300 Lowland Maya Hieroglyphic inscriptions have been dated to the Early Classic or before, nearly one third of these remain unpublished. Previous work on the monumental inscriptions of the Early Classic (Mathews 1985; Proskouriakoff 1950) has examined Early Classic monuments primarily as works of art. Mora-Marin (2001) examined the language of inscriptions found on early portable texts, a small subset of the corpus here examined. In great part, however, this study of the language of Early Classic inscriptions breaks new ground. The body of the thesis consists of a description of the linguistic system attested in Early Classic texts, with particular emphasis on morphology. The corpus is divided into three general sections according to date: Cycle 8 Texts, including all texts which date prior to the end of the Eighth Baktun in AD 435; Early Ninth Baktun Texts, covering the years between AD 435 and AD 534 (9.0.0.0.0-9.5.0.0.0 in the Maya Long Count), and ‘Terminal Early Classic’ Texts, which includes texts from between AD 534 and AD 633 (9.5.0.0.0-9.10.0.0.0). With these divisions it is possible to track the development of the attested linguistic system of the Early Classic inscriptions. It is discovered that the core elements of that system are already in place by the end of the Baktun 8. The morphological features first attested during the Eighth Baktun continue in use for the duration of the Early Classic, though in both of the subsequent time periods new features are added to the inventory of Early Classic morphemes. The static nature of the language, as suggested by its apparent continuity throughout the centuries which comprise the Early Classic, is consistent with the prestige status proposed for that language by Houston et al. (2000).

▼

Dès les débuts de l’archéologie préhispanique, au XIXe siècle, le temple maya sous sa forme commune de pyramide est devenu la figure de proue d’une discipline qui s’est construite dans un contexte intellectuel bien particulier. Entre la redécouverte du patrimoine archéologique italien et égyptien et l’esprit romantique des premiers explorateurs, les constructions mayas perdues dans la végétation du Yucatán et du Petén ont su enflammer l’imagination. L’étude du monde méso-américain a donc pris naissance dans le creuset de l’évolutionnisme européen et de la tradition chrétienne, dès la Conquête espagnole, au XVIe siècle. En réalité, la pensée cosmographique maya, née du fonds culturel méso-américain formé à l’époque olmèque, est beaucoup plus complexe, et l’on ne peut se contenter d’interprétations consensuelles. Le temple maya, réitération du macrocosme, est l’une des expressions spécifiques d’une conception de l’univers qui se manifeste au travers d’un véritable discours d’imbrication et de démultiplication interne de signes. Fondée sur l’examen précis et systématique d’un vaste corpus de sites des Basses Terres de la péninsule yucatèque et du Petén, datés du IIIe au Xe siècle (époque III ou Classique), cette étude use de la sémiologie comme outil d’analyse de l’organisation spatiale des centres urbains mayas. Elle se propose d’apporter une nouvelle lecture du processus intellectuel et matériel de construction, afin de révéler l’ensemble de la sémantique formulée par le temple et l’architecture rituelle et sacrificielle mayas.

From the beginning of pre-Hispanic archaeology, in the end of the 19th century, the Maya temple as a pyramid has become the figurehead of a discipline built in a very specific intellectual context. Between the rediscovery of the Italian and Egyptian archaeological heritage and the Romantic spirit of the early explorers, Maya buildings lost in the forest of Yucatán and Petén were able to fire the imagination. The study of the Mesoamerican world has thus been formed based on European evolutionism and Christian tradition, starting from the Spanish Conquest in the 16th century. Actually, the Mayas’ cosmographic thought, born of the Mesoamerican cultural unit – first formed by the Olmecs – is so much more complex that we can not just settle for consensual explanations. Not only is the Maya temple a reiteration of the macrocosm, but also a particuliar expression of their conception of the universe which is a true speech made of internal multiplication and interweaving signs. Built on a systematic and accurate observation of a huge site corpus of the Lowlands of the Yucatecan peninsula and Petén (3rd to 10th century, Classic period), this study uses semiology as a real tool for analysing the spatial organization of Maya cities. Its aim is to provide a new understanding of both the intellectual and material construction process, in order to reveal the whole semantics behind the temple and the Maya ritual and sacrificial architecture.

▼ During the Classic Period, c. A.D. 250-889, Tikal was the capital of a state in the core area of the Southern Maya Lowlands. Its residents were a socially stratified society composed of a small class of elite and a large class of commoners. From 1956 to 1970 the city was excavated by the Tikal Project of the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania. This dissertation links a sample of material culture recovered by Tikal Project excavations to the social groups that made and used them, and constructs the stages by which durable materials moved through the cultural system. Six categories of material included both artifacts and production debitage: chert and bone, predominantly from local sources, and obsidian, jade, slate, and shell, which had to be imported. Three variables in the distribution of artifacts and debitage were investigated: (1) type of associated structure group, (2) distance from the center of the city, and (3) recovery context. Three material culture complexes were defined: two status complexes consisting of ornaments and ritual objects associated with (1) the highest-ranking elite and (2) lower-ranking elite or high-ranking commoners, and (3) a domestic complex of primarily utilitarian artifacts that could be used by everyone. There was a minor expedient industry of local chert. Otherwise, quality of workmanship and standardization of form indicate specialized artifact production. Most craft specialists lived and worked in small structure groups surrounding the civic-ceremonial heart of the city. Little evidence of production was recorded beyond a radius of about two kilometers from the center of the site. Distributions also indicate that different types of structure groups were economically, as well as socially, diverse. Debitage quantities and recovery contexts suggest that (1) most craft production was on a part-time basis and (2) production for the elite of artifacts of both the domestic and higher status complexes was by attached or patronized specialists, some of whom may have worked on a full-time basis.

▼ Anthropologists have long sought to understand the political organization of complex societies. Investigations into the inter-site hierarchy of the Late and Terminal Classic in the Belize Valley have revealed evidence of political success fueled by economic prosperity. This dissertation addresses the degree to which hierarchy was centralized across the landscape and how centers in the core region of Petén affected the political and economic prosperity of the peripheral centers to the east. Data from three sites within the Belize Valley permit the analysis of relationships among centers of differing size, economic position, and populations. Evidence from architecture, tombs, caches, and glyphic inscriptions point to uneasy hierarchical relationships among centers as elites strove to increase their prestige and power. Models of political interaction as applied in the Maya region are used to facilitate the understanding of the new data. Evidence suggests Baking Pot, Cahal Pech, and Xunantunich had tense political relationships with higher-level centers in the Petén, power struggles often leaving peripheral regions under the political and economic control of militaristic polities. Within the Belize Valley, there are three types of centers; medium size sites with monumental architecture, small villages with minimal public architecture, and small hamlets with no elite activity. Throughout the Late and Terminal Classic periods these small villages and hamlets had little political power, as they fell under the authority of medium sized centers, which in turn answered to larger polities. Naranjo periodically exercised political control over the Belize Valley as evidenced through epigraphic and archaeological data. Calakmul dominated Naranjo, indicating at least a four tier hierarchy within the Maya Lowlands during periods of greatest political centralization.
