Maya Political Economy: A Spatial, Temporal, and Contextual Analysis of Jade Deposits throughout the Southern Lowlands (2009)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Christina Marroquin.

Jade is a valuable tool for studying Maya political economy because it is not only geologically rare but socially and ritually significant. Control of jade acquisition, production, and distribution became a measure of the power, prestige, and authority of the increasingly competitive polity elites. However, there is no catalog of jade artifacts for the Maya region. Therefore, this study compiles jade data from eight Southern Lowland sites with well-documented collections, creating a publicly...

Neutron Activation Analysis of Ceramics from Cyprus
PROJECT Uploaded by: Matthew Boulanger

This project pertains to the compositional analysis of ceramic materials from Cyprus. These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR.

Note on Stone Celts, From Chiriqui. (1863)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Charles Blake.

This article describes the five stone "celts" that were submitted to Charles Blake in 1860 from the collections of antiquarian objects from Chiriqui. These objects were obtained from the graves in the area. These "celts' exhibit what the author calls a "well-known" scalpriform sharpening. Four of the celts are composed of "porphyritic" stone and the fifth celt is made of "indurated" clay.
