“…The cist contains two burials with relatively rich offerings (5 elegant and complete pots and 70 jade and shell ornaments). The mercury alongside the burial cist most likely indexes cinnabar (mercuric sulfide) deposited on the burials, a common high status mortuary treatment among the Classic Maya that has no ethnoarchaeological analogue [7,12,60].

ABSTRACT. We report a study of central Maya lowland dynastic information networks, i.e., six cities' external elite ceramic influences, and how they reflect the decision-making practices of Maya elites over 3000 years. Forest cover, i.e., Moraceae family pollen, was added to the network analysis to provide ecological boundary conditions, thus ecologically moderated information networks. Principal components analysis revealed three dominant patterns. First, the networking of interior cities into powerful polities in the Late Preclassic and Classic periods (400 BCE-800 CE). In a second pattern, coastal cities emerged as key entrepôts based on marine navigation (Terminal and Postclassic periods, 800-1500 CE). Climate dynamics and sustainability considerations facilitated the transition. Forest cover, a measure of ecosystem health, shows interior forests diminished as interior cities networked but rebounded as their networks declined. By contrast, coastal forests flourished with networks implying that the marine-based economy was sustainable. Third, in the Classic, the network-dominant coast, west or east, changed with interior polities' political struggles, the critical transition occurring after 695 CE as Tikal gained dominance over the Calakmul-Caracol alliance. Beginning with the Late Preclassic about 2000 years ago, it is possible to assign names to the decision makers by referencing the growing literature on written Maya records. Although the detectable decision sequence evident in this analysis is very basic, we believe it does open possible avenues to much deeper understanding as the study proceeds into the future. The Integrated History and Future of People on Earth-Maya working group that sponsored the analysis anticipates that it will provide actionable social science intelligence for future decision making at the global scale. Key Words: central Maya lowlands; ceramics; complex-adaptive systems; distribution analysis; forest cover; principal components analysis INTRODUCTIONA network analysis of elite pottery types associated with the archaeological records of multiple sites in the central Maya lowlands can be used to illustrate changing degrees of connectedness between these sites over time. We assume that tracking degrees and duration of connectedness are a means to understand the sustainability of systems that operated at these sites. The method that was utilized collected a uniform data set on information exchange among a sample of communities across the region. Principal components analysis (PCA) was then used to determine changing patterns of network cooperation across space and time as mirrored in material culture. This quantitative analysis is further amplified through the use of Maya historical records that provide information relative to decision making over the same temporal span. Based on the patterns observed in these data sets, it is possible to (1) clarify the kind and strength of relations among communities in the central Maya lowlands and communities outside the region; (2) understand how...

“…Funcionalmente, semejante a la expresión yuhkno'm, existe otro segmento nominal que es característico de los Kanu'l. Una máscara funeraria de Calakmul -probablemente de Yihch'aak K'ahk' (Carrasco Vargas et al, 1999;Martin y Grube, 2000: 109)-lleva un texto corto que empieza con la expresión ubaah, 'la imagen de', seguida por el nombre de Yuhkno'm Ch'e'n, el cual aquí incluye el teónimo asociado a la Serpiente Acuática yax chit juun witz' [naah kan] (Stuart, 2007). Martin (2008b) recientemente identificó a otro señor de los Kanu'l con un nombre parecido, […] Naah Kan, en el Monumento 2 (Fragmentos 3 y 40) de Calakmul, el cual lleva el GE correspondiente, pero sin el clasificador k'uhul.…”

Resumen: Los nombres personales son un elemento importante de los textos jeroglífi-cos mayas del período Clásico (250-900 d.C.) y su análisis aporta información sobre la configuración social y política de esta época. De interés primordial es el nombre colectivo conocido como "glifo emblema" que fungía como título real. En esta ocasión discutimos las implicaciones sociales del uso del apelativo k'uhul kanu'l ajaw, tratándose del glifo emblema más mencionado en el área maya durante el Clásico Tardío. En particular, determinamos los patrones de transmisión intergeneracional de este nombre y de otros segmentos nominales de la unidad social Kanu›l, para así problematizar los paradigmas de parentesco y los modelos de organización social que se han propuesto para el período en cuestión.PalabRas clave: Mayas, Clásico Tardío, dinastía Kanu'l, Calakmul, glifo emblema, unidades sociales.AbstRact: Personal names are important elements of Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions of the Classic period (AD 250-900), and their analyses provide information about the social and political configuration of this time. The collective name known as "Emblem Glyph", which served as a regal title, is of particular interest here. In this occasion, we discuss the social implications of the use of the appellative k'uhul kanu'l ajaw, the most frequent Emblem Glyph in the Maya area, during the Late Classic period. We determine the pattern of intergenerational transmission of this and other names related to the Kanu'l social unit, in order to problematize the parentage paradigms and the models of social organization that have been proposed for this period.
