The Pottery Figurines of Tikal cover

This volume describes and illustrates the ceramic figurines excavated at the Maya site of Tikal, Guatemala, from 1956 through 1969. The collection includes both hand modelled and mould-made figures, human and animal, as well as related ceramic objects including figurine moulds, flutes and panpipes. The figurines are classified by subject matter, and the site distribution and dating are discussed. These figurines form the largest excavated collection of ceramic figurines from a Maya site, and are one of the major artifact categories from the site of Tikal. Most of the classifiable pieces are illustrated at a scale that allows comparison with similar objects from other Maya sites. The purpose of this volume is the presentation of the material from the site of Tikal; comparative material is limited.
