Their thoughtful comments challenge us to clarify and extend our thinking on this topic. Additionally, the meaningful intersections between our work and McAnany’s and Newman’s significant research contributions to the field of Maya studies point towards several important areas that need to be grappled with further. In our reply, we focus on three thematic areas, while also incorporating specific responses to some (though, for reasons of space, not all) of the comments and critiques raised by McAnany and Newman. We organize our response around three vignettes. These brief scenes provide openings for discussion of issues raised by the commenters, related to three questions: Are we ‘countermapping’ in the sense that it is widely understood? To what extent does our undertaking successfully frame dynamic, relational, or multiple knowledge in productive, non-binary ways? And, how do we position the impact of this work, and, in particular, our methodological choices? 1.

Zooarchaeological studies of animal remains from archaeological sites across the Maya region reveal some evidence of unsustainable hunting practices, primarily associated with larger and more politically complex settlements. However, these studies do not point to regional overhunting, biodiversity reduction, or extinctions, indicating that ancient Maya hunting was sustainable over 2,000 years. A second study investigates modern highland Maya hunting ceremonialism and reveals complex attitudes to wild animal harvesting. Belief in an “Animal Guardian” who determines hunting quotas and appropriate hunting behavior may link to an embedded conservation ethic. However, zoological harvest information gathered from the remains of hunted animals deposited at hunting shrines suggests that modern hunting practices may not reflect that ethic. Together, the two datasets are used to explore issues of complexity in past and present hunting activities. In each study, potentially sustainable practices become less-so under certain circumstances, particularly those causing stress on previously stable animal management systems. Some thoughts are offered on the difficulties and benefits of disseminating these complex results to different audiences. The value of understanding the factors that drive both sustainable and unsustainable practices far outweighs the disadvantages of presenting potentially unpalatable information about indigenous environmental resource management. The difficulty lies in presenting the research to each stakeholder in terms and contexts that are appropriate to understanding the implications of the data.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="92432835"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="92432835"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92432835; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=92432835]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=92432835]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92432835; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='92432835']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=92432835]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":92432835,"title":"Maya Hunting Sustainability: Perspectives from Past and Present","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/92432835/Maya_Hunting_Sustainability_Perspectives_from_Past_and_Present","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Digital systems effectively replicate the information recorded on paper forms, while also offering recording advantages for archaeologists in the field. In addition to such logistical contributions to archaeological workflows, digital technology also has tremendous potential to transform the ways that archaeology is done by shifting how we see our sites, and how we document them through diverse data types. With the goal of exploring this potential, we developed a tablet-based relational database, using FileMaker, which provides the ability to simultaneously record specific characteristics of artifacts and features according to two cultural perspectives—modern archaeological understandings and also those of the Classic Maya. In this article, we describe the database and discuss the results of a pilot field season using the database to record...</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ec0d9bb1c21533b0cc3a3ed9a79c4b61" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":79101926,"asset_id":68725283,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/79101926/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="68725283"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="68725283"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 68725283; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=68725283]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=68725283]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 68725283; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='68725283']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "ec0d9bb1c21533b0cc3a3ed9a79c4b61" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=68725283]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":68725283,"title":"Pushing the Paperless Envelope","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/68725283/Pushing_the_Paperless_Envelope","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

We end with larger reflections useful for archaeologists curious about translating these ideas to other cultural settings.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7fe17a086acb89e03b96b811a73cb69e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62152993,"asset_id":42027714,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62152993/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="42027714"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="42027714"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42027714; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=42027714]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=42027714]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42027714; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='42027714']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "7fe17a086acb89e03b96b811a73cb69e" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=42027714]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":42027714,"title":"Countermapping the Past: Reenvisioning Ancient Maya Spaces at Say Kah, Belize","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/42027714/Countermapping_the_Past_Reenvisioning_Ancient_Maya_Spaces_at_Say_Kah_Belize","owner_id":3378150,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":3378150,"first_name":"Sarah E.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Jackson","page_name":"SarahEJackson","domain_name":"colorado","created_at":"2013-02-26T09:46:27.555-08:00","display_name":"Sarah E.

The survival of local Maya heritage narratives in the face of conflicting belief systems, the increased commodification of antiquities and the decline of traditional ways of life is increasingly difficult. At Santiago Atitlán in the Guatemalan highlands, and at Tahcabo in the state of Yucatán, Mexico, individuals have sought to preserve traditional narratives through ontological constructs and by enacting hybridity. These studies demonstrate how collaborative archaeology and ethnoarchaeology highlight the perspectives of Indigenous communities and contribute towards greater multivocality.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2af170c698e2b9d310ea1b829cda7807" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":51486725,"asset_id":31053111,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/51486725/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="31053111"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="31053111"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 31053111; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=31053111]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=31053111]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 31053111; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='31053111']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "2af170c698e2b9d310ea1b829cda7807" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=31053111]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":31053111,"title":"Perceptions of the past within Tz'utujil ontologies and Yucatec hybridities","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/31053111/Perceptions_of_the_past_within_Tzutujil_ontologies_and_Yucatec_hybridities","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Digital systems effectively replicate the information recorded on paper forms, while also offering recording advantages for archaeologists in the field. In addition to such logistical contributions to archaeological workflows, digital technology also has tremendous potential to transform the ways that archaeology is done by shifting how we see our sites, and how we document them through diverse data types. With the goal of exploring this potential, we developed a tablet-based relational database, using FileMaker, which provides the ability to simultaneously record specific characteristics of artifacts and features according to two cultural perspectives—modern archaeological understandings and also those of the Classic Maya. In this article, we describe the database and discuss the results of a pilot field season using the database to record excavations at the site of Say Kah, Belize. Our experiences yield several broader reflections on the impact of using digital recording systems both for practical advantage and for productive shifts in perception.<br /><br />La documentación arqueológica se encuentra en medio de un cambio tecnológico mediante el cual los sistemas de registro cambian del papel a formatos digitales. Los sistemas digitales replican de manera efectiva la información registrada en formularios de papel, y también ofrecen ventajas para los arqueólogos trabajando en el campo. Además de las contribuciones logísticas al trabajo arqueológico, la tecnología digital también puede transformar las formas de realizar la arqueología al cambiar la manera en que miramos los sitios, y cómo los documentamos a través de diversos tipos de datos. Con el objetivo de explorar este potencial, desarrollamos una base de datos relacional utilizando las computadoras tabletas, y el programa FileMaker, el cual ofrece la posibilidad de documentar simultáneamente características específicas de los artefactos y rasgos según dos perspectivas culturales, los entendimientos modernos de los arqueólogos y también los de los mayas clásicos. En este artículo se describe la base de datos y se discuten los resultados de la primera temporada de campo en que se utiliza la base de datos para registrar excavaciones en el sitio de Say Kah, Belice. Nuestras experiencias generan reflexiones sobre el impacto del uso de sistemas de registro digital tanto como ventajas prácticas y también para los cambios productivos en la percepción.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="11e81ed954743450014a832f206e612d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":47083923,"asset_id":26810939,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47083923/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="26810939"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="26810939"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 26810939;

A second study investigates modern highland Maya hunting ceremonialism and reveals complex attitudes to wild animal harvesting.

In each study, potentially sustainable practices become less-so under certain circumstances, particularly those causing stress on previously stable animal management systems.

When either active agent enters the others' domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions.

The value of understanding the factors that drive both sustainable and unsustainable practices far outweighs the disadvantages of presenting potentially unpalatable</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a93361c63bccdeb0c1655e326f6fea83" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":31013926,"asset_id":1488015,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31013926/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="1488015"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="1488015"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1488015; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=1488015]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=1488015]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1488015; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='1488015']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "a93361c63bccdeb0c1655e326f6fea83" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=1488015]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":1488015,"title":"Maya Hunting Sustainability: Perspectives from Past and Present","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/1488015/Maya_Hunting_Sustainability_Perspectives_from_Past_and_Present","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

When either active agent enters the others’ domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions. Using the material correlates of modern hunting rituals, we explore the utility of ethnoarchaeological research in identifying negotiations with non-human agents associated with the animate forest – an active agent in many societies. <br /> <br />Keywords  Maya - Ethnoarchaeology - Hunting ceremonialism - Zooarchaeology</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="fee3ab6397c045937eb41b0755e84929" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731129,"asset_id":216681,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731129/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216681"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216681"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216681; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216681]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216681]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216681; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216681']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "fee3ab6397c045937eb41b0755e84929" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216681]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216681,"title":"Negotiations with the Animate Forest: Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands ","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216681/Negotiations_with_the_Animate_Forest_Hunting_Shrines_in_the_Guatemalan_Highlands","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Despite this resilience, features and deposits entering the archaeological record as a result of hunting ceremonies remain largely unknown. I describe several contemporary and nineteenth-century shrines used for hunting rites in the Maya highlands of Guatemala. These sites contain a unique feature, a ritual fauna cache, which consists of animal remains secondarily deposited during hunting ceremonies. The formation of these caches is informed by two beliefs with historical time depth: (1) the belief in a guardian of animals and (2) the symbolic conflation of bone and regeneration. The unique life history of remains in hunting-related ritual fauna caches suggests a hypothesis for puzzling deposits of mammal remains recovered archaeologically in lowland Maya caves. These may have functioned in hunting rites designed to placate the animal guardian and ensure the regeneration of the species via ceremonies that incorporated the secondary discard of skeletal remains. A review of the ethnographic literature from the Lenca, Huichol, Nahua, Tlapanec, and Mixe areas reveals similar hunting rites indicating a broader Mesoamerican ritual practice. <br /> <br />Desde la época prehispánica hasta el presente, los estudiosos han notado la amplia creencia Maya en un guardián supernatural de los animales que debe ser apaciguado con rituales antes y después de la cacerí. Mientras que esta documentación, los tipos de rasgos o artefactos que se han encontrado en los contextos arqueológicos durante las ceremonias siguen siendo desconocidos. Describo varios santuarios del siglo diecinueve y contemporáneos que documentan la ritual cacería Maya del altiplano de Guatemala. Ellos contienen rasgos especiales, unos de escondites de fauna ritual, los cuales indican el uso en el ceremonialismo de la cacería. La formación de estos escondites es indicada por la refundición simbólica de hueso, semilla, y regeneración. Esta creencia es evidente en los textos coloniales que sugieren una historia profunda en la zona Maya. La vida historia de los huesos en escondites rituales sugiere una hipóteis por huesos de mamíferos excavados en cuevas en las tierras bajas. Es posible que estos fueron depositados en ritos de la cacería para apaciguar al guardián de los animales y promover la regeneración de las especies. La literatura etnográfica nota patrones similares de cacería que incluyen el desecho ritual, lo cual sugiere una práctica mesoamericana más amplia.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="80638e4178b2de58618b92b181eed1ab" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731197,"asset_id":216682,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731197/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216682"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216682"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216682; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216682]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216682]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216682; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216682']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "80638e4178b2de58618b92b181eed1ab" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216682]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216682,"title":"Planting the Bones: Hunting Ceremonialism at Contemporary and Nineteenth-Century Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216682/Planting_the_Bones_Hunting_Ceremonialism_at_Contemporary_and_Nineteenth_Century_Shrines_in_the_Guatemalan_Highlands","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Through these strategies, individuals creatively negotiate limited access to material resources and assign diverse meanings to the material culture, practices, and places of ritual.

D. 600), a Classic Period site located on the Southeast Maya Periphery, has been particularly enigmatic and difficult to interpret. This assemblage consists of small portable worn objects, some of which show physical and chemical damage consistent with having been previously discarded prior to being carefully curated in a ceremonial building, suggesting that they were collected in antiquity. A review of the ethnographic literature reveals that contemporary Maya ritual practitioners routinely collect small portable objects, many of which are Pre-Columbian in origin, as personal sacra. This practice of "ritual collecting" serves multiple purposes including: 1) the acquisition of divining tools, 2) personal verification of divine election, and 3) evidence to one's community of supernatural sanction for a change in social status. Through engaging in this practice, social actors create and manipulate power in local ritual systems that exist outside of the control of contemporary institutionalized religions. It is suggested that collecting may represent an alternative avenue to supernatural power for past, as well as present-day, rural ritual practitioners. <br /> <br />[Spanish] La zona de Joya de Cerén, ubicada en el valle de Zapotitán en El Salvador, fue una villa agrícola floreciente durante el período clásico en la Periferia Maya del Sudeste (Sheets 1992). Alrededor del año 600 A. C., se abrió un paso volcánico debajo del cercano Río Sucio y sepultó a la villa debajo de cinco metros de ceniza. La erupción inesperada precipitó el abandono inmediato de la comunidad, dejando grupos virtualmente completos de artefactos en su contexto de uso, almacenamiento o desecho. Por lo tanto, Cerén proporciona un caso ideal para el examen de procesos de formación cultural que podrían tener un impacto en los archivos arqueológicos. La evidencia de Cerén sugiere que los practicantes precolombinos de rituales en la villa que trabajaban en un edificio ceremonial (Estructura 12) coleccionaban y curaban objetos encontrados en contextos de desecho. Una revisión de la literatura etnográfica revela que coleccionar era una práctica común entre los practicantes rituales contemporáneos en las tierras altas y bajas de los Mayas. Desde una perspectiva émica, los artículos coleccionados y cuidadosamente curados en grupos personales, en altares y en santuarios comunitarios o de linaje, pueden verse como herramientas importantes con las cuales los practicantes rituales acceden a lo supernatural. En este trabajo, sugiero que la tendencia a <<coleccionar ritualmente>> es parte de una actividad clave para los practicantes rituales de la villa ya que al principio sirve para identificar a individuos que participan en la iniciación y posteriormente se usa como evidencia continua de la sanción supernatural de un estado sagrado. Por sobre todo, el coleccionar se usa como una avenida hacia el poder religioso dentro de los sistemas rituales locales y existe fuera del control de las religiones contemporáneas institucionalizadas. El coleccionar también podría representar un camino alternativo hacia el poder para los practicantes rituales tanto del pasado como de nuestros días.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ad0db208ea63b902f455ed8f3d758012" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731284,"asset_id":216688,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731284/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216688"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216688"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216688; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216688]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216688]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216688; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216688']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "ad0db208ea63b902f455ed8f3d758012" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216688]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216688,"title":"From Discard to Divination: Demarcating the Sacred Through the Collection and Curation of Discarded Objects","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216688/From_Discard_to_Divination_Demarcating_the_Sacred_Through_the_Collection_and_Curation_of_Discarded_Objects","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Their thoughtful comments challenge us to clarify and extend our thinking on this topic. Additionally, the meaningful intersections between our work and McAnany’s and Newman’s significant research contributions to the field of Maya studies point towards several important areas that need to be grappled with further. In our reply, we focus on three thematic areas, while also incorporating specific responses to some (though, for reasons of space, not all) of the comments and critiques raised by McAnany and Newman. We organize our response around three vignettes. These brief scenes provide openings for discussion of issues raised by the commenters, related to three questions: Are we ‘countermapping’ in the sense that it is widely understood? To what extent does our undertaking successfully frame dynamic, relational, or multiple knowledge in productive, non-binary ways?

Zooarchaeological studies of animal remains from archaeological sites across the Maya region reveal some evidence of unsustainable hunting practices, primarily associated with larger and more politically complex settlements. However, these studies do not point to regional overhunting, biodiversity reduction, or extinctions, indicating that ancient Maya hunting was sustainable over 2,000 years. A second study investigates modern highland Maya hunting ceremonialism and reveals complex attitudes to wild animal harvesting. Belief in an “Animal Guardian” who determines hunting quotas and appropriate hunting behavior may link to an embedded conservation ethic. However, zoological harvest information gathered from the remains of hunted animals deposited at hunting shrines suggests that modern hunting practices may not reflect that ethic. Together, the two datasets are used to explore issues of complexity in past and present hunting activities. In each study, potentially sustainable practices become less-so under certain circumstances, particularly those causing stress on previously stable animal management systems. Some thoughts are offered on the difficulties and benefits of disseminating these complex results to different audiences. The value of understanding the factors that drive both sustainable and unsustainable practices far outweighs the disadvantages of presenting potentially unpalatable information about indigenous environmental resource management. The difficulty lies in presenting the research to each stakeholder in terms and contexts that are appropriate to understanding the implications of the data.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="92432835"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="92432835"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92432835; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=92432835]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=92432835]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92432835; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='92432835']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=92432835]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":92432835,"title":"Maya Hunting Sustainability: Perspectives from Past and Present","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/92432835/Maya_Hunting_Sustainability_Perspectives_from_Past_and_Present","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

In the case study that we present, we use Classic Maya material categoriesderived from hieroglyphic texts-to reenvision our representations of artefactual distributions and accompanying interpretations. We take inspiration from countermapping as an approach that recognizes the positionality of spatial representations and makes space for multiple/alternative spatial perspectives. We present spatial analyses based on our work at the Classic Maya archaeological site of Say Kah, Belize, juxtaposing modern modes of visualizing the results of multiple seasons of excavations with visualizations that instead draw upon reconstructed elements of ancient inhabitants' perspectives on the site, its spaces, and usages (based on information drawn from Classic Maya textual "property qualifiers"). We argue that even incomplete information, such as that available for archaeological contexts, allows us to reimagine past spatial perspectives and experiences. Furthermore, doing so represents a move towards inclusion that changes our understanding of sites in terms of ancient experience and usage. The outcome is a shifted perspective on the spaces of the site that decenters the modern, archaeological vision, accompanied by a more reflexive awareness of the processes we use to construct our interpretations. We end with larger reflections useful for archaeologists curious about translating these ideas to other cultural settings.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="619c5d172cb65289ac4b9f6e0d5c4887" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":88193466,"asset_id":82505046,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88193466/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="82505046"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="82505046"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 82505046; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=82505046]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=82505046]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 82505046; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='82505046']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "619c5d172cb65289ac4b9f6e0d5c4887" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=82505046]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":82505046,"title":"Countermapping the Past: Reenvisioning Ancient Maya Spaces at Say Kah, Belize","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/82505046/Countermapping_the_Past_Reenvisioning_Ancient_Maya_Spaces_at_Say_Kah_Belize","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Digital systems effectively replicate the information recorded on paper forms, while also offering recording advantages for archaeologists in the field. In addition to such logistical contributions to archaeological workflows, digital technology also has tremendous potential to transform the ways that archaeology is done by shifting how we see our sites, and how we document them through diverse data types.

In the case study that we present, we use Classic Maya material categories – derived from hieroglyphic texts – to re-envision our representations of artefactual distributions and accompanying interpretations. We take inspiration from countermapping as an approach that recognizes the positionality of spatial representations and makes space for multiple/alternative spatial perspectives. We present spatial analyses based on our work at the Classic Maya archaeological site of Say Kah, Belize, juxtaposing modern modes of visualizing the results of multiple seasons of excavations with visualizations that instead draw upon reconstructed elements of ancient inhabitants’ perspectives on the site, its spaces, and usages (based on information drawn from Classic Maya textual ‘property qualifiers’). We argue that even incomplete information, such as that available for archaeological contexts, allows us to reimagine past spatial perspectives and experiences. Furthermore, doing so represents a move towards inclusion that changes our understanding of sites in terms of ancient experience and usage. The outcome is a shifted perspective on the spaces of the site that decentres the modern, archaeological vision, accompanied by a more reflexive awareness of the processes we use to construct our interpretations. We end with larger reflections useful for archaeologists curious about translating these ideas to other cultural settings.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7fe17a086acb89e03b96b811a73cb69e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":62152993,"asset_id":42027714,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62152993/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="42027714"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="42027714"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42027714; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=42027714]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=42027714]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42027714; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='42027714']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "7fe17a086acb89e03b96b811a73cb69e" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=42027714]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":42027714,"title":"Countermapping the Past: Reenvisioning Ancient Maya Spaces at Say Kah, Belize","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/42027714/Countermapping_the_Past_Reenvisioning_Ancient_Maya_Spaces_at_Say_Kah_Belize","owner_id":3378150,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":3378150,"first_name":"Sarah E.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Jackson","page_name":"SarahEJackson","domain_name":"colorado","created_at":"2013-02-26T09:46:27.555-08:00","display_name":"Sarah E.

The survival of local Maya heritage narratives in the face of conflicting belief systems, the increased commodification of antiquities and the decline of traditional ways of life is increasingly difficult. At Santiago Atitlán in the Guatemalan highlands, and at Tahcabo in the state of Yucatán, Mexico, individuals have sought to preserve traditional narratives through ontological constructs and by enacting hybridity.

Digital systems effectively replicate the information recorded on paper forms, while also offering recording advantages for archaeologists in the field. In addition to such logistical contributions to archaeological workflows, digital technology also has tremendous potential to transform the ways that archaeology is done by shifting how we see our sites, and how we document them through diverse data types. With the goal of exploring this potential, we developed a tablet-based relational database, using FileMaker, which provides the ability to simultaneously record specific characteristics of artifacts and features according to two cultural perspectives—modern archaeological understandings and also those of the Classic Maya. In this article, we describe the database and discuss the results of a pilot field season using the database to record excavations at the site of Say Kah, Belize. Our experiences yield several broader reflections on the impact of using digital recording systems both for practical advantage and for productive shifts in perception.<br /><br />La documentación arqueológica se encuentra en medio de un cambio tecnológico mediante el cual los sistemas de registro cambian del papel a formatos digitales. Los sistemas digitales replican de manera efectiva la información registrada en formularios de papel, y también ofrecen ventajas para los arqueólogos trabajando en el campo. Además de las contribuciones logísticas al trabajo arqueológico, la tecnología digital también puede transformar las formas de realizar la arqueología al cambiar la manera en que miramos los sitios, y cómo los documentamos a través de diversos tipos de datos. Con el objetivo de explorar este potencial, desarrollamos una base de datos relacional utilizando las computadoras tabletas, y el programa FileMaker, el cual ofrece la posibilidad de documentar simultáneamente características específicas de los artefactos y rasgos según dos perspectivas culturales, los entendimientos modernos de los arqueólogos y también los de los mayas clásicos. En este artículo se describe la base de datos y se discuten los resultados de la primera temporada de campo en que se utiliza la base de datos para registrar excavaciones en el sitio de Say Kah, Belice. Nuestras experiencias generan reflexiones sobre el impacto del uso de sistemas de registro digital tanto como ventajas prácticas y también para los cambios productivos en la percepción.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="11e81ed954743450014a832f206e612d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":47083923,"asset_id":26810939,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47083923/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="26810939"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="26810939"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 26810939;

Zooarchaeological studies of animal remains from archaeological sites across the Maya region reveal some evidence of unsustainable hunting practices, primarily associated with larger and more politically complex settlements. However, these studies do not point to regional overhunting, biodiversity reduction, or extinctions, indicating that ancient Maya hunting was sustainable over 2,000 years. A second study investigates modern highland Maya hunting ceremonialism and reveals complex attitudes to wild animal harvesting. Belief in an "Animal Guardian" who determines hunting quotas and appropriate hunting behavior may link to an embedded conservation ethic. However, zoological harvest information gathered from the remains of hunted animals deposited at hunting shrines suggests that modern hunting practices may not refl ect that ethic. Together, the two datasets are used to explore issues of complexity in past and present hunting activities. In each study, potentially sustainable practices become less-so under certain circumstances, particularly those causing stress on previously stable animal management systems. Some thoughts are offered on the diffi culties and benefi ts of disseminating these complex results to different audiences. The value of understanding the factors that drive both sustainable and unsustainable practices far outweighs the disadvantages of presenting potentially unpalatable</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="901d31cf4a8cbad2f19555967d39bed0" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":26570579,"asset_id":1881313,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/26570579/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="1881313"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="1881313"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1881313;

When either active agent enters the others' domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record.

Zooarchaeological studies of animal remains from archaeological sites across the Maya region reveal some evidence of unsustainable hunting practices, primarily associated with larger and more politically complex settlements. However, these studies do not point to regional overhunting, biodiversity reduction, or extinctions, indicating that ancient Maya hunting was sustainable over 2,000 years. A second study investigates modern highland Maya hunting ceremonialism and reveals complex attitudes to wild animal harvesting. Belief in an "Animal Guardian" who determines hunting quotas and appropriate hunting behavior may link to an embedded conservation ethic. However, zoological harvest information gathered from the remains of hunted animals deposited at hunting shrines suggests that modern hunting practices may not refl ect that ethic. Together, the two datasets are used to explore issues of complexity in past and present hunting activities. In each study, potentially sustainable practices become less-so under certain circumstances, particularly those causing stress on previously stable animal management systems. Some thoughts are offered on the diffi culties and benefi ts of disseminating these complex results to different audiences. The value of understanding the factors that drive both sustainable and unsustainable practices far outweighs the disadvantages of presenting potentially unpalatable</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a93361c63bccdeb0c1655e326f6fea83" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":31013926,"asset_id":1488015,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31013926/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="1488015"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="1488015"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1488015; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=1488015]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=1488015]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1488015; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='1488015']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "a93361c63bccdeb0c1655e326f6fea83" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=1488015]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":1488015,"title":"Maya Hunting Sustainability: Perspectives from Past and Present","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/1488015/Maya_Hunting_Sustainability_Perspectives_from_Past_and_Present","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

When either active agent enters the others’ domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions. Using the material correlates of modern hunting rituals, we explore the utility of ethnoarchaeological research in identifying negotiations with non-human agents associated with the animate forest – an active agent in many societies. <br /> <br />Keywords  Maya - Ethnoarchaeology - Hunting ceremonialism - Zooarchaeology</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="fee3ab6397c045937eb41b0755e84929" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731129,"asset_id":216681,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731129/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216681"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216681"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216681; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216681]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216681]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216681; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216681']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "fee3ab6397c045937eb41b0755e84929" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216681]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216681,"title":"Negotiations with the Animate Forest: Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands ","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216681/Negotiations_with_the_Animate_Forest_Hunting_Shrines_in_the_Guatemalan_Highlands","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Despite this resilience, features and deposits entering the archaeological record as a result of hunting ceremonies remain largely unknown. I describe several contemporary and nineteenth-century shrines used for hunting rites in the Maya highlands of Guatemala. These sites contain a unique feature, a ritual fauna cache, which consists of animal remains secondarily deposited during hunting ceremonies. The formation of these caches is informed by two beliefs with historical time depth: (1) the belief in a guardian of animals and (2) the symbolic conflation of bone and regeneration. The unique life history of remains in hunting-related ritual fauna caches suggests a hypothesis for puzzling deposits of mammal remains recovered archaeologically in lowland Maya caves. These may have functioned in hunting rites designed to placate the animal guardian and ensure the regeneration of the species via ceremonies that incorporated the secondary discard of skeletal remains. A review of the ethnographic literature from the Lenca, Huichol, Nahua, Tlapanec, and Mixe areas reveals similar hunting rites indicating a broader Mesoamerican ritual practice. <br /> <br />Desde la época prehispánica hasta el presente, los estudiosos han notado la amplia creencia Maya en un guardián supernatural de los animales que debe ser apaciguado con rituales antes y después de la cacerí. Mientras que esta documentación, los tipos de rasgos o artefactos que se han encontrado en los contextos arqueológicos durante las ceremonias siguen siendo desconocidos. Describo varios santuarios del siglo diecinueve y contemporáneos que documentan la ritual cacería Maya del altiplano de Guatemala. Ellos contienen rasgos especiales, unos de escondites de fauna ritual, los cuales indican el uso en el ceremonialismo de la cacería. La formación de estos escondites es indicada por la refundición simbólica de hueso, semilla, y regeneración. Esta creencia es evidente en los textos coloniales que sugieren una historia profunda en la zona Maya. La vida historia de los huesos en escondites rituales sugiere una hipóteis por huesos de mamíferos excavados en cuevas en las tierras bajas. Es posible que estos fueron depositados en ritos de la cacería para apaciguar al guardián de los animales y promover la regeneración de las especies. La literatura etnográfica nota patrones similares de cacería que incluyen el desecho ritual, lo cual sugiere una práctica mesoamericana más amplia.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="80638e4178b2de58618b92b181eed1ab" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731197,"asset_id":216682,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731197/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216682"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216682"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216682; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216682]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216682]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216682; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216682']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "80638e4178b2de58618b92b181eed1ab" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216682]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216682,"title":"Planting the Bones: Hunting Ceremonialism at Contemporary and Nineteenth-Century Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216682/Planting_the_Bones_Hunting_Ceremonialism_at_Contemporary_and_Nineteenth_Century_Shrines_in_the_Guatemalan_Highlands","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.

Through these strategies, individuals creatively negotiate limited access to material resources and assign diverse meanings to the material culture, practices, and places of ritual.

D. 600), a Classic Period site located on the Southeast Maya Periphery, has been particularly enigmatic and difficult to interpret. This assemblage consists of small portable worn objects, some of which show physical and chemical damage consistent with having been previously discarded prior to being carefully curated in a ceremonial building, suggesting that they were collected in antiquity. A review of the ethnographic literature reveals that contemporary Maya ritual practitioners routinely collect small portable objects, many of which are Pre-Columbian in origin, as personal sacra. This practice of "ritual collecting" serves multiple purposes including: 1) the acquisition of divining tools, 2) personal verification of divine election, and 3) evidence to one's community of supernatural sanction for a change in social status. Through engaging in this practice, social actors create and manipulate power in local ritual systems that exist outside of the control of contemporary institutionalized religions. It is suggested that collecting may represent an alternative avenue to supernatural power for past, as well as present-day, rural ritual practitioners. <br /> <br />[Spanish] La zona de Joya de Cerén, ubicada en el valle de Zapotitán en El Salvador, fue una villa agrícola floreciente durante el período clásico en la Periferia Maya del Sudeste (Sheets 1992). Alrededor del año 600 A. C., se abrió un paso volcánico debajo del cercano Río Sucio y sepultó a la villa debajo de cinco metros de ceniza. La erupción inesperada precipitó el abandono inmediato de la comunidad, dejando grupos virtualmente completos de artefactos en su contexto de uso, almacenamiento o desecho. Por lo tanto, Cerén proporciona un caso ideal para el examen de procesos de formación cultural que podrían tener un impacto en los archivos arqueológicos. La evidencia de Cerén sugiere que los practicantes precolombinos de rituales en la villa que trabajaban en un edificio ceremonial (Estructura 12) coleccionaban y curaban objetos encontrados en contextos de desecho. Una revisión de la literatura etnográfica revela que coleccionar era una práctica común entre los practicantes rituales contemporáneos en las tierras altas y bajas de los Mayas. Desde una perspectiva émica, los artículos coleccionados y cuidadosamente curados en grupos personales, en altares y en santuarios comunitarios o de linaje, pueden verse como herramientas importantes con las cuales los practicantes rituales acceden a lo supernatural. En este trabajo, sugiero que la tendencia a <<coleccionar ritualmente>> es parte de una actividad clave para los practicantes rituales de la villa ya que al principio sirve para identificar a individuos que participan en la iniciación y posteriormente se usa como evidencia continua de la sanción supernatural de un estado sagrado. Por sobre todo, el coleccionar se usa como una avenida hacia el poder religioso dentro de los sistemas rituales locales y existe fuera del control de las religiones contemporáneas institucionalizadas. El coleccionar también podría representar un camino alternativo hacia el poder para los practicantes rituales tanto del pasado como de nuestros días.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ad0db208ea63b902f455ed8f3d758012" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":731284,"asset_id":216688,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/731284/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="216688"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="216688"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216688; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216688]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=216688]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 216688; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='216688']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "ad0db208ea63b902f455ed8f3d758012" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=216688]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":216688,"title":"From Discard to Divination: Demarcating the Sacred Through the Collection and Curation of Discarded Objects","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/216688/From_Discard_to_Divination_Demarcating_the_Sacred_Through_the_Collection_and_Curation_of_Discarded_Objects","owner_id":26110,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"owner":{"id":26110,"first_name":"Linda A.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Brown","page_name":"LindaBrown","domain_name":"gwu","created_at":"2009-01-12T23:31:10.053-08:00","display_name":"Linda A.
