With the permission of the Consejo de Arqueología, Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, intensive archaeological survey, instrument mapping, and test excavations were carried out at Isla Cilvituk from 1994 to 1996.

Previous research in Mesoamerican fauna analysis has contributed insights into resource use, but Maya turtle use remains unexamined. Faunal analysis, zooarchaeology, vertebrate taphonomy, and behavioral archaeology provide a guideline into the past taphonomic and life histories of the turtle bones recovered from Isla Cilvituk (A.D. 900-1525). The primary objective of my research is to establish an archaeology model of exploitation of the small and large turtles recovered from Isla...

My main goal with this thesis was to create a sampling design, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which would allow me to determine the best datable contexts at Isla Cilvituk. Once this sampling design was created, I analyzed the spatial distribution of these datable contexts using the frequency of specimens divided by the total volume of each archaeological layer as a measurement of density (m3). This analysis was divided into two parts. The first analysis looked at the distribution...

This paper addresses the changes to the noria platform and to noria technology of north-central Yucatán. I question whether personal preference influenced differentiation of the technology or if specific utilitarian activities dictated more standardization through time. I use statistical analysis to determine if there is equal variance among the noria openings and platforms. By comparing three different property types (haciendas, ranchos, and conventos) the data indicates the noria...

For over 15 years, Mexican and American archaeologists and students have dug ancient ruins, walked the high desert landscape, and worked in laboratories to understand the rise and fall of La Quemada, Zacatecas. We want to know why societies become complex, developing social hierarchies with specialized economic, political, and religious roles for their members. Why do civilizations expand? Northern Mexico's ancient past is an ideal context for studying these questions. During the period A.D....
