Recent Archaeological Investigations in Chiapas, Mexico
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Recent Archaeological Investigations in Chiapas, Mexico" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Mexican state of Chiapas contains a diversity of cultural regions and ecological zones—Maya and Mixe-Zoque; highland, lowland, and coastal. In spite of the presence of several large projects, such as those focused on Palenque and the Grijalva Valley, there are large swaths of Chiapas that have been almost totally overlooked, and any understanding of Chiapan archaeology is fragmented and focused on the better-known sites. In this session, scholars will discuss the results of their recent investigations in diverse parts of the state. Papers can be in English or Spanish.
