Stanley Loten and published by University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. This book was released on 2007-07-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive series of reconstructed views rendered in colors approximating the original finishes of polished plaster and paint, with 42 different stages of development in three-dimensional form, show what the Acropolis looked like at various times from ca. 330 BCE to CE 600. On an accompanying CD-ROM 112 color plates include constructions of individual structures and some photos of Acropolis fabric at the time of excavation and consolidation. The text accompanying the color plates provides a rationale for the sequences illustrated and an interpretation of ancient Maya intentions in developing the architectural forms that were found, including ideas of rulership and monumental architecture.

This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pre-Columbian city we call Tikal was abandoned by its Maya residents during the tenth century A.D. and succumbed to the Guatemalan rain forest. It was not until 1848 that it was brought to the attention of the outside world. For the next century Tikal, remote and isolated, received a surprisingly large number of visitors. Public officials, explorers, academics, military personnel, settlers, petroleum engineers, chicle gatherers, and archaeologists came and went, sometimes leaving behind material traces of their visits. A short-lived hamlet was established among the ancient ruins in the late 1870s. In 1956 the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology initiated its fourteen-year-long Tikal Project. This report chronicles documented visits to Tikal during the century following its modern discovery, and presents the post-Conquest material culture recovered by the Tikal Project in the course of its investigation of the pre-Columbian city. Further research on the nineteenth-century settlement was carried out in 1998 in its southern part by the Lacandon Archaeological Project (LAP) under the direction of Joel W. Palka of the University of Illinois at Chicago. The material culture recovered by the LAP supplements the Tikal Project collection and is referenced here. Historical Archaeology at Tikal, Guatemala is intended as a contribution to nineteenth and early twentieth century Lowland Mesoamerican research. It is rounded out with several appendices that will be of interest to historians and historical archaeologists. The printed volume includes many black and white photographs and drawings. A gallery of color photographs, several from Palka's 1998 excavations, is included on the accompanying CD-ROM.

The report is printed without certain plans referred to by Mr. Maler which have not been received from him. This omission is, how ever, supplied by the Museum Expedition of 1910 (see foot-notes on page 10, et In order to use the plans when reading Mr. Maler's report, the two reports are issued under one cover. To further facilitate reference, a table has been prepared (see page vii of No. Giving the names used by Mr. Maler and the corresponding terms used in the report of 1910. A number of measurements were left blank in Mr. Maler's manuscript, and these have been supplied by the Expedition of 1910, all such being given in italic figures. Mr. Maler's reports were written in German, and it is therefore especially unfortunate that he has not returned the proofs of this and also of the two preceding reports published in Volume IV, Number 3 of these Memoirs.
