As always, it's an honour to see one my photos (of La Corona Element 56, excavated in 2015) used by a press to which I contributed. It would be even more fun if I had either been asked (I would of course have agreed), or even told about it 🤷 #epigraphy #archaeology #ancientbluesky #Maya #Guatemala

Every weekday #morning, I walk both of my girls to garderie, and then #walk to campus for work (1.5 km). These days, at 815am, the sunrise is spectacular. #Proximity, as a life choice, is a vastly underrated way to impact one's carbon foot print. But in many contexts, it is also a precious luxury.

Y un nuevo artículo traducido del Mayanist. "Observaciones basadas en la fotografía por transiluminación de la Relación de las cosas de Yucatán de Diego de Landa" por Harri Kettunen. Watercolor by Aaron Alfano. www.goafar.org/themayanist #Mayanist #Maya #ancientbluesky #epigraphy
Frontispiece of the article "Observaciones basadas en la fotografía por transiluminación de la Relación de las cosas de Yucatán de Diego de Landa" by Harri Kettunen. The picture on the right side shows the infamous Diego de Landa asking Gaspar Antonio Chi to write down the misconstrued "Maya Alphabet" down for him.

I'm quite impressed with this book by Amanda Podany. As a #Mayanist, the perspective is enchanting. The epigraphic record for #cuneiform tablets is mind-blowing. I now know that the 1st to ever be named in written history, Kushim, was an administrator in charge of beer production. #ancientbluesky

Since 2019, I've edited The Mayanist: an open-access, peer-reviewed, billingual, and illustrated journal on all things Maya. We ask for no $ to publish, opening the door to diverse authors. Read it for free here: goafar.org/themayanist #Archaeology #Maya #Ancientbluesky #Anthropology #openaccess
Cover page of the 11th issue of The Mayanist. The cover is a watercolour by Lucerito Ochoa Say portraying a crouching Maya man wearing a loincloth and holding a vessel filled with ash.

Main plaza of Sacul, in the Maya Mountains, near the Guatemala/Belize Border. Sacul is a truly amazing site, blending a Central Belizean and Peter style of architecture. Hard to reach, but worth the hike. #Archaeology #Maya #Peten #Guatemala #AncientBsky
Stelae surrounded by tropical forest covering ancient Maya architecture in Sacul, Peter, Guatemala. The day is sunny and the contrast between the shaded and sunny parts of the plaza is striking.

Canadian winters have a special way of fanning my nostalgia for the tropical forest of Peten. #Guatemala #Peten #macaw

Back in 2021, I collaborated with watercolorist extraordinaire Aaron Alfano to produce this amazing reconstruction of the support area of the Later Classic Maya palace of La Corona, Guatemala. I still love this piece very much. #archaeology #watercolor #ancientmaya #palace #reconstruction
