Clemency Coggins
Structure I-sub, also known as the Temple
of the Seven Dolls, dates to about A.D. 700 and is probably one
of the earliest vaulted temples built at Dzibilchaltun. This report
is a study of the stucco decoration preserved on and fallen from
the upper facade of this and other vaulted buildings in the Seven
Dolls group. The first half of the report describes the stucco
and its iconography. A comparative discussion follows, presenting
the local, regional, and wider Mesoamerican context of Structure
I-sub. Coggins argues that Dzibilchaltun was a carefully planned
cosmic assemblage, comparing it to the contemporaneous twin- pyramid
groups at Tikal.

Jennifer T. Taschek
The 1957-1965 Tulane University excavations
at Dzibilchaltun recovered thousands of artifacts of many materials.
Most of these objects date to the Late Classic period (Early period
II and the Pure Florescent, ca. A.D. 700-1000), when the community
of more than 25,000 persons covered 16 km2, but the collection
spans the years from 600 B.C. until the arrival of the Spanish.
It is the only large excavated collection of artifacts from a
northern Maya site to cover this large a part of the prehispanic
past. 1994. Cloth. xiv+304 pp., 61 full pages of artifact illusstrations,

Arthur A. Demarest
Santa Leticia, a small Late Preclassic
site in far western El Salvador, has three monumental sculptures
carved in the "potbelly" style. Demarest's excavations
in 1977 were intended to provide archaeological context for these
important sculptures by developing a ceramic sequence and an understanding
of the occupation of the site. The report addresses a range of
other problems in the archaeology of the southeastern highlands,
including the nature of the Maya frontier, the origins and spread
of Usulutan pottery and of complex societies in the Maya highlands,
and the presence of the "Olmec" style.

The nature of the social interaction
between Lowland Maya and foreign groups are made based on the
evidence for foreign impact on Lowland Mayan language. In this
study, the four linguistic groups that are recognized to have
influenced Lowland Mayan language and script are Zapotecan, Mixe-Zoquean,
Nahua and Totonacan. Each is discussed in terms of its degree
of impact on the Mayan language, the period of its influence,
and the nature of the social interaction.

This is the second MARI concordance of
a Book of Chilam Balam. The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel is
also a late eighteenth-century document that contains information
about the language and culture of the colonial Yucatec Maya. The
text, written in Yucatec, has been broken down by morphemes for
the concordance. Both concordances will be valuable to those interested
in the grammar of the Maya language.
