Classic Maya Religion: Beliefs And Practices Of An Ancient American People, Stephen D. Houston

BYU Studies Quarterly

Though difficult to decipher, Maya religion permeated a complex ancient world with an overriding sense of the sacral nature of all things and reveals much about how those people lived and why they vanished.

The Cypro-Minoan Corpus Project Wins Best Of Show Award, J. S. Smith, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld

Classical Studies Faculty Research

The tum of the millennium also marks a century of study of the undeciphered Late Bronze Age script of Cyprus, Cypro-Minoan. In 1909, Sir Arthur Evans labeled it "Cypro-Minoan" based on its visual similarity to the linear scripts he found at Knossos on Crete. We began to discuss the need for a detailed corpus of Cypro-Minoan a decade ago when we both attended a seminar on ancient Cypriot writing conducted by Thomas G.

Archaeological Survey And Testing In San Pedro Park (41bx19), San Antonio, Texas, Brett A. Houk

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In April 1998, staff from the Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) of The University of Texas at San Antonio completed a pedestrian survey and a series of 44 shovel tests and two backhoe trenches in San Pedro Park, in San Antonio, Texas. The project was required to evaluate the potential for significant historic (including a Spanish Colonial dam and acequia) and prehistoric cultural deposits in areas to be impacted by a plan to renovate the park, including the rebuilding of a swimming pool.

The shovel tests showed that the majority of the area to be impacted by renovation was already …
