This article utilizes the Maya Hieroglyphic Database (Looper and Macri 1991–2022) to study the spellings of three glyphic values based on T713 (Thompson 1962), namely, the logogram K′AB′ ‘hand, arm’ (n = 88), the logogram K′AL ‘to close, wrap, adorn’ (n = 484), and the syllabogram mi (n = 68), cataloged as MZ1, MR1, and MR2, respectively, by Looper et al. (2022). The main goal is to study the functions of certain graphemes typically placed atop T713 (T713's “holding site”) when it has the value K′AL, and to determine to what extent such signs can be described as lexical determinatives. The article concludes that MZ1 K′AB′ constitutes the unmarked value of T713, while MZ1 K′AL requires contextual or graphemic disambiguation, the latter facilitated by means of phonetic complements (e.g., k′a or la) or lexical determinatives (e.g., T617/1M3). Syntagmatic contextual associations resulting from frequent proximity to other signs was a common factor in the establishment of certain signs as lexical determinatives. The question of MR2 mi, which can be analyzed as either a digraph or a case of a “phonetic determinative” (distinct from “phonetic complement”) in the holding site of T713, is left open to future research.
本文利用Maya象形文字数据库(Looper和Macri 1991-2022)研究了基于T713(Thompson 1962)的三个字形值的拼写,即字母K‘AB’‘hand,arm’(n=88)、字母K‘AL’‘close,wrappe,decorate’(n=484)和音节mi(n=68),Looper等人(2022)分别编目为MZ1、MR1和MR2。主要目标是研究当T713的值为K′AL时,通常放在T713(T713的“持有位点”)顶部的某些字形的功能,并确定这些符号在多大程度上可以被描述为词汇决定符。文章得出结论,MZ1 K′AB′构成了T713的无标记值,而MZ1 K′AL需要上下文或字形消歧,后者通过语音补语(如K′a或la)或词汇决定词(如T617/1M3)来促进。由于频繁接近其他标志而产生的句法语境联想是将某些标志确立为词汇决定因素的一个常见因素。MR2 mi的问题,可以作为有向图或T713持有位点中的“语音决定符”(不同于“语音补码”)的情况进行分析,有待未来的研究。

Site E19 (19:N1W5), near Tlailotlacan, the “Zapotec Barrio” of Teotihuacan, contains evidence of both Tlailotlacan and Michoacan affiliation. To verify and better understand the Michoacan relationship, 22 enamel and 19 bone samples from five E19-affiliated burials were analyzed to determine their oxygen isotope compositions, which provide an indication of an individual's area of residence when that particular tissue was forming. Because prismatic blades and Thin Orange ceramics from Teotihuacan occur widely in the Lakes Region of north central Michoacan we obtained samples from several sites there for comparative purposes. The results show that most of the E19 people had passed their later years in the Patzcuaro Basin of the Lakes Region. Although in E19 the archaeological evidence of this relationship declined over time, the isotopic evidence indicates that Patzcuaro ties continued to the end of E19's occupation. It seems that the people of E19, originally Michoacanos, gradually adopted a core identity as Teotihuacanos while continuing to deploy their Michoacan ancestry during their stays in Michoacan.
地点E19(19:N1W5),靠近特奥蒂瓦坎的“Zapotec Barrio”特莱洛特拉坎,包含特莱洛特拉坎和米却肯关系的证据。为了验证和更好地理解米却肯人的关系,对来自五个E19附属墓葬的22个釉质和19个骨骼样本进行了分析,以确定其氧同位素组成,这些组成提供了特定组织形成时个体居住区域的指示。由于Teotihua的棱柱形刀片和薄橙色陶瓷广泛分布在米却肯州中北部的湖区,我们从那里的几个地点获得了样本进行比较。结果表明,大多数E19人都是在湖区的Patzcuaro盆地度过晚年的。尽管在E19,这种关系的考古证据随着时间的推移而减少,但同位素证据表明,Patzcuaro关系一直持续到E19占领结束。E19的人,最初是米却肯人,似乎逐渐采用了Teotihuacanos的核心身份,同时在米却肯逗留期间继续部署他们的米却肯祖先。

Abstract A careful reading of the battle in the Bonampak murals offers new insights into eighth-century strategies for warfare, and the importance of overwhelming force in both aggression and deterrence. These same two strategies were critical during the Spanish invasion, especially in defense of freshwater resources. The murals of Bonampak provide insights into the Maya battle, including the emphasis on teamwork in execution of battle tactics and the seemingly contradictory emphasis on the individual, in terms of hieroglyphics. Despite exhaustive study of the paintings, the potential consideration of color-defined and pattern shields also may reveal groupings of warriors previously unrecognized in both battle and presentation of captives. Sixteenth-century accounts by Spanish invaders confirm a practice that includes defense of water sources along the coast of Yucatan, with details that can be evaluated regarding eighth-century Maya practice.
仔细阅读博纳帕克壁画中的战斗,可以让我们对八世纪的战争战略有新的认识,以及压倒性力量在侵略和威慑中的重要性。这两种策略在西班牙入侵期间至关重要,尤其是在保护淡水资源方面。从象形文字的角度来看,博纳帕克的壁画提供了对玛雅战争的见解,包括在执行战斗战术时对团队合作的强调,以及对个人的看似矛盾的强调。尽管对这些画进行了详尽的研究,但对颜色和图案盾牌的潜在考虑也可能揭示出以前在战斗和俘虏展示中未被识别的战士群体。16世纪西班牙入侵者的记载证实了一种做法,包括保护尤卡坦半岛沿岸的水源,其中的细节可以与8世纪玛雅人的做法进行评估。

Abstract Across many decades of Maya archaeology, the study of war has typically been focused on its geopolitical, systemic, evolutionary, and structural implications. We argue these approaches stand to benefit from deeper interrogations of practice. Such a perspective shifts scholarly attention toward the ways in which Maya peoples prepared for and engaged in combat, and how they administered the outcomes of war. Deploying this approach requires the study of tactics, strategy, fortifications, materiel, landscape, embodiment, and a host of other related factors. With the issue of practice at the forefront of our analysis, we demonstrate how the study of war has been “blackboxed” in Maya archaeology, then undertake a comparative analysis to highlight how digging into the details of past martial practice enriches debates in Mesoamerican studies regarding the role of war in the rise and disintegration of states.
在几十年的玛雅考古学中,对战争的研究通常集中在其地缘政治、系统、进化和结构含义上。我们认为,这些方法将受益于对实践的深入探讨。这样的观点将学者的注意力转移到玛雅人准备和参与战斗的方式,以及他们如何管理战争的结果。部署这种方法需要研究战术、战略、防御工事、材料、景观、具体化和许多其他相关因素。在我们分析的最前沿,我们展示了战争研究如何在玛雅考古学中被“黑盒”,然后进行比较分析,以突出挖掘过去军事实践的细节如何丰富中美洲研究中关于战争在国家崛起和解体中的作用的辩论。

Abstract Although studies of warfare are now common in Maya archaeology, much remains to be learned about strategy, tactics, and various other practical factors in the process of making war. An emphasis on the concrete and practical is necessary to both acknowledge agency and understand how conflict relates to the human experience. Through an examination of documentary and archaeological data in a comparative framework, I elaborate on practices of Maya fortification construction and how the creation of a martial landscape ties into relations of power during the Late Postclassic/Early Spanish Colonial period (a.d. 1200–1600). During this period, in the region of Mensabak, Chiapas, Mexico, Maya peoples fortified a peninsula according to principles of defense-in-depth. In other words, they created layers of fortification to slow and stall an attack. My analysis reveals how the creation of a martial landscape shaped local culture by incorporating elements of sacred geography and ritual landscape to perpetuate social inequality.
虽然对战争的研究现在在玛雅考古学中很常见,但关于战争过程中的战略、战术和其他各种实际因素,还有很多有待学习的地方。强调具体和实际对于承认能动性和理解冲突与人类经验的关系是必要的。通过对文献和考古资料的比较研究,我详细阐述了玛雅防御工事建设的实践,以及在后古典晚期/早期西班牙殖民时期(公元1200-1600年),军事景观的创造如何与权力关系联系在一起。在这一时期,在墨西哥恰帕斯州的Mensabak地区,玛雅人根据纵深防御的原则建立了一个半岛。换句话说,他们建立了层层防御工事来减缓和拖延攻击。我的分析揭示了军事景观的创造如何通过结合神圣地理和仪式景观的元素来塑造当地文化,从而使社会不平等永久化。

Abstract In the absence of historical records, ethnography, or artistic depictions, fortifications provide one of the best forms of evidence for insight into the nature of warfare within past societies. Excavations into the monumental stone perimeter wall, 1.5 km in circumference, at Muralla de León in the Peten Lakes Region have dated its initial construction to the first two centuries of the Late Preclassic period (400–200 b.c.). Investigation into this apparent fortification offers new insight into Maya settlement and monumental construction in relation to warfare in this era, as sociopolitical complexity became increasingly widespread across the southern lowlands. Calculations of affordances of movement across the local landscape using geographic information systems and Circuitscape inform a spatial statistical analysis of fortification at Muralla de León, performed to test a hypothesis of defensive functionality for the encircling perimeter wall. A separate affordance of movement analysis at a regional scale locates the site within probable intersite paths of travel. The research indicates a significant, but not exclusive, defensive intent underpinning the Preclassic form of the main wall system. Thus, the system was built in part as a fortification, restricting movement toward the interior, while facilitating other uses such as hydraulic control and possibly trade.
摘要在缺乏历史记录、民族志或艺术描述的情况下,防御工事为深入了解过去社会中战争的性质提供了最好的证据之一。在彼得恩湖区的穆拉尔·德莱昂(Muralla de León),对周长1.5公里的纪念性石头围墙的挖掘可以追溯到前古典主义晚期(公元前400–200年)的前两个世纪。对这一明显防御工事的调查为玛雅人的定居点和与这个时代战争有关的纪念性建筑提供了新的见解,随着社会政治复杂性在南部低地越来越普遍。使用地理信息系统和Circuitscape对当地景观中的运动可供性进行计算,为Muralla de León防御工事的空间统计分析提供了信息,该分析旨在检验环绕围墙防御功能的假设。在区域范围内进行单独的运动分析,将场地定位在可能的站点间旅行路径内。研究表明,支撑前古典形式主墙系统的是一种重要但非排他性的防御意图。因此,该系统在一定程度上是作为防御工事建造的,限制了向内部的移动,同时促进了其他用途,如液压控制和可能的贸易。

Abstract Traditional interpretations of Maya warfare have focused on the ritual aspects of war, including the necessity of taking captives for sacrifice. Captives are a common theme on carved stone monuments in the Late Classic period, and images like the murals at Bonampak suggest that captives taken in battle were ultimately sacrificed. Textual information from hieroglyphs and historical records, however, suggests a variety of fates for prisoners of war. Considering this information, the iconography of carved stone monuments is a poor indicator of historical outcomes for captives. What, then, was the function of captive imagery? In this article, I suggest that images of captives on carved stone monuments worked to prepare elite viewers for warfare by creating embodied social identities for warriors. Sculptures constructed a warrior identity that encompassed both victor and victim and emphasized the importance of elite bodies in the maintenance of political and ritual power. Understanding the ways in which images of captives were communicating allows a more robust view of how the practice of warfare differed from polity to polity and suggests that context is key to using art to learn about war.
对玛雅战争的传统解释集中在战争的仪式方面,包括俘虏献祭的必要性。俘虏是古典晚期雕刻石碑上的一个常见主题,像波南帕克壁画这样的图像表明,在战斗中被俘的俘虏最终被牺牲了。然而,来自象形文字和历史记录的文本信息表明,战俘的命运多种多样。考虑到这些信息,雕刻石碑的图像学并不能很好地反映俘虏的历史成果。那么,被俘图像的功能是什么呢?在这篇文章中,我建议,雕刻石碑上的俘虏图像通过为战士创造具体的社会身份,为精英观众做好战争的准备。雕塑构建了一种包含胜利者和受害者的战士身份,并强调了精英身体在维护政治和仪式权力方面的重要性。了解俘虏图像的交流方式,可以更有力地了解不同政体的战争实践有何不同,并表明背景是使用艺术学习战争的关键。

Abstract Archaeological studies worldwide have revealed a wide range of cultural contexts within which practices of violence and warfare have occurred. In Mesoamerica, ongoing studies have enriched our understanding of social contexts of violence and warfare in Maya societies. This expanding body of field data allows deeper exploration of the ways violence was intricately linked to different aspects of cultural life for many Maya communities. In this article, we contemplate the culturally embedded nature of violence and warfare with a specific focus on the Classic period and questions related to political strategy, ritual practices, and total warfare.

摘要世界各地的考古研究揭示了暴力和战争行为发生的广泛文化背景。在中美洲,正在进行的研究丰富了我们对玛雅社会暴力和战争的社会背景的理解。这一不断扩大的实地数据使我们能够更深入地探索暴力与许多玛雅社区文化生活的不同方面之间的复杂联系。在这篇文章中,我们思考了暴力和战争的文化嵌入性质,特别关注古典时期以及与政治策略、仪式实践和全面战争有关的问题。我们为研究战争提供了经验框架,以解决仪式战和社会影响问题,我们强调区域范围的分析。

In Mesoamerica, ongoing studies have enriched our understanding of social contexts of violence and warfare in Maya societies. This expanding body of field data allows deeper exploration of the ways violence was intricately linked to different aspects of cultural life for many Maya communities. In this article, we contemplate the culturally embedded nature of violence and warfare with a specific focus on the Classic period and questions related to political strategy, ritual practices, and total warfare. We provide empirical frameworks for the study of war to address issues of ritual warfare and societal impact, and we emphasize a regional scale of analysis.","PeriodicalId":46480,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Mesoamerica","volume":"34 1","pages":"266 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44167198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
