Early Maya Iconography and Script
March 16-19, 2010
We are very pleased and excited to announce that the 2010 Maya Meetings will take place in Antigua, Guatemala, at UT-Austin’s new academic and conference center for Mesoamerican studies, the Casa Herrera. Since 1977 international students and scholars have gathered in Austin each year to learn and discuss the latest findings in Maya research. We are now able to take the Maya Meetings to the land of the Maya, to expand this spirit of learning and exchange. We hope to make Antigua a routine location for future conferences, alternating each year with our traditional venue on the UT-Austin campus.
As always, the 2010 Maya Meetings will offer a combination of learning workshops and academic lectures. Three workshops focusing on hieroglyphs and iconography will run for four days from March 16 through 19, accompanied by two courtyard lectures during each evening. All events will take place at the Casa Herrera, a beautifully restored 17th-century mansion located near the center of Antigua, Guatemala’s colonial capital.
Our topic in 2010 will focus on new developments in the study of early Maya iconography and writing, focusing on the sites of Kaminaljuyu, Takalik Abaj, Izapa, San Bartolo and others. More details about the presenters, the schedule and details of registration will be posted early this coming fall.
