Today we enter into the plot of a summer blockbuster adventure movie. Regina talks to NPR reporter Emily Olson about the recently uncovered ancient Maya city, Ocomtun. The large site, which researchers found using LiDAR technology, even seems to have "suburbs," flipping their expectations about how robust the Maya civilization was — and where it was.

You might remember the somewhat bizarre worries that swept through certain circles back in 2012, based on the end of the world being predicted by the Maya calendar. The world didn't end, which is unsurprising because the Maya hadn't predicted that, and for that matter they had no way of doing so. But there is very interesting archeology behind our understanding of how the Maya developed their calendar, as well as other aspects of their language and scientific understanding. Mayanist David Stuart takes us on a tour of what we know and what we're still discovering.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/08/14/246-david-stuart-on-time-and-science-in-maya-civilization/Support Mindscape on Patreon.David Stuart received his Ph.D. in anthropology from Vanderbilt University.

In this episode I talk with Christopher Hernández about his recent archaeological work on Postclassic Maya warfare. Christopher Hernández is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Loyola University Chicago. His work in anthropological archaeology is fundamentally shaped by the issue of contemporary relevance. How does the past matter or not? This question stems from his upbringing in Chicago as the child of Guatemalan migrants who talked endlessly about their love for Guatemala and the importance of ancient Maya history. Searching for a sense of self in a country that treats all Latinx peoples as foreigners led him to study ancient pyramids as well as contemporary culture: given the pride felt for the Indigenous past, why are contemporary Maya peoples treated so poorly in Guatemala and other part of Latin America? This formative experience shapes how and why he conducts research. Christopher Hernández's current research is focused on issues of archaeological ethics, the application of community-based methods, relational philosophy, and understanding social conflict in long-term perspective. Through the application of aerial laser scanning (lidar), documentary analysis, and traditional excavation methods, he investigates how the process of making war shaped landscapes at a regional level. This analysis entails collaborative research into martial tactics and the consolidation of archaeological remains to attract tourism. The reconstruction of ancient structures is conducted in service of the local Indigenous community of Puerto Bello Metzabok.

Mary Jane talks about Mayan Archaeology, running around the world and pursuing a career that wouldn't normally be considered portable. Listen to her talk about the pros and cons of life as an independent scholar and what it's like to manage a major project from the other side of the world.Mary Jane Acuña is a Guatemalan-American archaeologist specializing on Ancient Maya culture. Her passion for archaeology developed while growing up in Guatemala and visiting several sites that left her wanting to learn more about that ancient culture. She pursued university degrees in Archaeology and Anthropology, both in Guatemala and the U.S., ultimately earning her doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis. She has participated on multiple research projects and since 2014, has directed her own at an archaeological site called El Tintal in northern Guatemala. Broadly, the research focuses on understanding the sociocultural, political, and economic dynamics of the populations that inhabited El Tintal from approximately 800 BC to AD 1000.Mary Jane likes to explore urban and natural places through running. She tries to run at least one race in each place where she has lived as an EFM, which so far has been Guatemala City, Seoul, Los Angeles, and now in Dhaka.

The ancient Maya flourished in modern day Mexico and Central America for millennia. They built incredible cities and they had sophisticated knowledge of astronomy, architecture and the natural world. But although Maya culture continues to exist today, around 900 AD, many of their great settlements collapsed, and today they lie in ruins. CrowdScience listener Michael wants to know - how did the Maya sustain their populations successfully for so long? And what happened 1000 years ago that led them to abandon their cities? To find out, presenter Melanie Brown travels to the forests of Western Belize. She visits the archaeological site of Xunantunich to learn about what life would have been like for the Maya living in what was once a prosperous city. She hears about the importance of water to the Maya way of life in this region, and their ingenious methods for capturing and storing rainfall. She meets archaeologists using lasers and drones to map Maya settlements that have lain hidden by jungle for centuries. And she discovers what material from the bottom of lakes can tell us about how the Maya faced a changing climate, which may have had huge consequences for their society. This episode is being released on Earth Day 2022. As we face an uncertain future of our own amid a climate crisis, are there any lessons we can learn from the Maya about how to live sustainably on this planet? Presented by Melanie Brown and produced by Anand Jagatia Featuring: Elias Cambranes, Maya expert and tour guide Prof Lisa Lucero, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Prof Tim Murtha, University of Florida Dr Eben Broadbent, University of Florida Prof Mark Brenner, University of Florida Photo: Ancient ruins of the Mayas deep in the forest of Belize Credit: Simon Dannhauer/Getty Images

Welcome back and thanks for listening! Last season, we spoke with Diane Chase, CGU's VP for academic innovation, student success, and strategic initiatives. Not only is she well-versed in student success but is a widely-renowned archaeologist.  Her work was recently featured in PBS's NOVA documentary program, one of the most popular primetime science series on American television. “Ancient Maya Metropolis” features Diane Chase and her husband Arlen, who for over 25 years have directed archaeological excavations at Caracol, Southern Belize. Their work has been vital to uncovering just how vast the city of Caracol was, and its significance to the Mayan people. Tune in as Meg and Jeremy discuss the documentary, the breakthroughs thanks to modern technology, and the significance of preserving culture. Chase is one of many examples of the incredible researchers we have at CGU—learn more about her here!

“Lamb's objective was essentially to do Kon-Tiki in the Chiapan Rainforest. And he needed a lost city as a selling point.” In 1950, American adventurers Dana and Ginger Lamb traveled to the jungles of northern Guatemala looking for Maya ruins and a story they could turn into a movie. There they encountered a rich cache of decorated structures made in the first millennium CE, including a particularly elaborate limestone lintel (a horizontal support above a doorway) carved by an artisan named Mayuy. Such objects had and continue to hold great historical, aesthetic, and spiritual significance for Maya people and descendants. Unfortunately, like many Maya ruins, the site has since been looted, and retracing the original locations of the displaced works is challenging. In this episode, Stephen Houston, editor of A Maya Universe in Stone, explores the production and complex afterlives of these Maya objects. Houston contextualizes carved lintels within ancient Maya history and visual and spiritual practices, and discusses the fraught nature of their re-emergence in the twentieth century.

The Central American country of Guatemala promotes its indigenous heritage to tourists. At the same time, its government has historically marginalized and discriminated against the Maya, many of whom endured terrible violence during a decades-long civil war. Twenty five years after the war's end, human rights leader Rosalina Tuyuc is promoting healing for her people based on ancient Maya wisdom.

The Central American country of Guatemala promotes its indigenous heritage to tourists. At the same time, its government has historically marginalized and discriminated against the Maya, many of whom endured terrible violence during a decades-long civil war. Twenty five years after the war's end, human rights leader Rosalina Tuyuc is promoting healing for her people based on ancient Maya wisdom. Through these teachings she began to understand, “That it's good not to feel defeated. That we should keep moving  forward, loving life, and our existence.”

Today, in a story from the Spiritual Edge, we meet Rosalina Tuyuc. The Guatemalan civil war took her father, husband, and more relatives — her Maya indigenous spirituality helped her heal herself and other widows.

When you're eating your best, you're eating your best! How to store food for a passage with 6 people aboard. We try to remove as much trash as possible and get rid of the styrofoam, and plastic packaging. We like to pre-freeze our meat. But we don't bother removing labels on cans, but we don't even buy that much canned food. How do you balance how much produce to bring and know how much to buy before it goes bad? We generally eat all the produce first. We like using inventory lists and a menu to help keep track of what we have. But early on in the passage, theres more seasickness. Day 1 is usually pasta, because it's easy on the belly. The next few days are tacos with rice and beans and various toppings, depending on how you are feeling. But rice and beans and tortillas are usually pretty good options for seasickness and settling stomachs. John likes to plan out meals, and has it all worked out in his head, and cooks during his passages.Cooking in the galley is a nice time to just chill and putter around in a little galley-oasis! We all seem to enjoy cooking in the galley. It's always a good idea to have a few super easy options on the menu for those days you just don't feel like cooking. The watch schedule plays an important part in how you schedule your meals. But often times we keep meals aligned with watch changes. And it's important to establish a routine with food. It helps people get over the seasick hump. In general, its good to push good healthy meals pretty hard in the beginning. Not eating, doesn't help you adjust. When you lose your eating routine on land and just climb into a bunk, you're more prone to seasickness.Captains hour on board Quetzal. Your life on the boat should reach a state of happiness and well being thats equal to your life on land. It tends to relax people, and start to tell stories. It's an equalizer.

The vegetable selection is pretty much limited to potatoes.There's a lot you can do with a can of tomatoes or chickpeas toward the end of a passage. Creativity is important as the fresh food disappears. There was a french family with 40 cabbages in the bilge. How long can we go without shopping? Emily went 5 weeks without shopping. Kale and cabbages were lasting forever, and it became a competition with myself to see how long we could go.

This is no less true of the Maya who boasted some of the most sophisticated cultures of the pre-Columbian Americas with their art, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. On the other hand, like many early civilisations there’s nothing they loved more than a good old human sacrifice. But why did they do it? Dr Holley Moyes, Professor of Anthropology and Heritage Studies at the University of California joined Jonathan to discuss. Also on the show, Jonathan was joined by Dr Shane Bergin and Dr Lara Dungan to discuss some of this week's biggest science stories from around the world.

Episode 25: Ancient Politics in the Present Maxime Lamoureux-St. Hilaire (PhD candidate, Tulane) joins this episode of the Go Dig a Hole podcast to share lessons from the ancient Maya. He introduces a "pragmatic" model of governance - both in physical and symbolic structures. This topical and timely discussion of politics on a macro scale bears haunting echoes of present situations in the global sociopolitical sphere. In many ways, human civilization hasn't really come that far... Maxime Lamoureux-St. Hilaire would like to thank Drs. Marcello Canuto (Tulane) and Tomas Barrientos (Universidad del Valle de Guatemala) for having him on their long-term project, and for their support of his research.
