Análisis calendárico de las orientaciones astronómicas de la arquitectura de Tamtoc, San Luis Potosí. La importancia de su latitud geográfica y el uso del paisaje (2017)
En la actualidad la Zona Arqueológica de Tamtoc, un área cívico-ceremonial prehispánica de larga duración, presenta un porcentaje considerable de estructuras liberadas, cuya arquitectura expuesta ha permitido al Proyecto Arqueológico Origen y Desarrollo del Paisaje Urbano de Tamtoc, dirigido por Estela Martínez y Guillermo Córdova, el realizar un estudio metodológico de sus orientaciones y las posibles relaciones que guardan entre ellas. Cabe decir que este tipo de trabajo genera un antecedente...

Aportes a la Interpretación Arqueológica de la Zona Sur en Honduras. (2018)
Los departamentos de Choluteca y El Paraíso al sur de Honduras cuentan con un escaso registro arqueológico de asentamientos prehispánicos y coloniales. El desconocimiento de su historia deriva constantes saqueos y destrucción arqueológica, alterando el patrimonio cultural y generando un vacío histórico a las comunidades aledañas a estos sitios arqueológicos, desvinculándolas con su pasado. El Proyecto Arqueológico El Paraíso y Choluteca (PAPCH) comienza en el año 2016 como parte de los procesos...
Apotguan Revisited: A Bioarchaeological Analysis of Latte Period Burials from Guam (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Research and CRM Are Not Mutually Exclusive: J. Stephen Athens—Forty Years and Counting" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Cultural Resources Management studies in the Mariana Islands have consistently expanded opportunities for in-depth bioarchaeological research. Burial assemblages originating from historic preservation compliance obligations generally derive from one of three contexts: displaced fragmentary remains;...
The Apparent Resilience of the Dry Tropical Forests of the Nicaraguan Region of the Central American Dry Corridor to Extreme Variations in Climate over the Last c.1200 Years (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Reconstructing the Political Organization of Pre-Columbian Nicaragua" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Central American dry corridor is currently and has historically been the most densely populated area of the Central American Isthmus and is subject to the greatest covariance in precipitation between seasons. The vegetation of this region was typically composed of dry tropical forests, which are suggested to be...
Appendix - 'Nueva Cadiz' in the Americas (2021)
Dataset for an article published in BEADS The Journal of the Society of Beads Researchers
Appendix 1 (2008)
Appendix 1, a text document, presents the structure of the combined artifact and provenience databases of 19 variables. Note that lot number and special deposit number are common to both the artifact and provenience databases.
APPENDIX 10: Reconstruction of Tikal Caches Excavated Prior to 1956 (2008)
Appendix 10 is an incomplete draft of the reconstruction of Tikal caches excavated prior to 1956. It includes an inventory of all monuments known to have undergone excavation before 1956 and describes associated caches. Many bibliographic entries do not appear in the References section of this Report. Moholy-Nagy has added text in brackets. Present-day usage substitutes the term “chert” for Coe’s “flint” and “prismatic blade” for A. V. Kidder’s “flake-blade.”
APPENDIX 11: Typology and Description of Flint and Obsidian Eccentrics and Incised Obsidians (2008)
Appendix 11 is an incomplete draft of the typology and description of flint and obsidian eccentrics and incised obsidians. Objects included here are either representational or symbolic, figural, and non-figural, and are organized in this typology in three categories: Eccentric Flints, Eccentric Obsidians, and Incised Obsidians. Many bibliographic entries do not appear in the References section of this Report. Moholy-Nagy has added the texts in brackets. Present-day usage has substituted the...
APPENDIX 12: Typology and Description of Shell Charlie Chaplin Figurines (2008)
Appendix 12 is an incomplete draft of the typology and description of shell Charlie Chaplin figurines. These are anthropomorphic, small, usually of exteriorly worked Spondylus shell, with incising, notching, grooving and drilling the technical repertory. However, many are plain, that is, the human form is silhouetted. A total of 538 shell figurines exist in the Tikal collection. With very few exceptions (notably Burial 10) these occur in cached offerings. Shell figurines are an outstanding...
Appendix 14 (2008)

Appendix 2, a text document, provides the codes used for the artifact and provenience database variables.
Appendix 3 (2008)
Appendix 3, a text document derived from a relational database, gives the proveniences of all defined lots that produced material other than potsherds. This database is an updated version of Appendix C on the CD-ROM accompanying TR. 27B, and it includes proveniences of artifacts reported in that volume.
