Bundles and the Maize God

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Alice: Recognizing the Many Contributions of Alice Beck Kehoe" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

My master's thesis focused on sacred bundles and rituals depicted on Maya ceramics of the classic period. I am indebted to Justin Kerr and his Maya Vase Data Base. I studied bundles in both sacred and quotidian contexts. Today I discuss mythological scenes in which bundles are associated with the Maize God and his sons, the Hero Twins.
