Given its location between Tikal and Calakmul, it's no surprise that Uaxactún played a major role in the centuries-long “Star Wars” conflict between these two great powers.

Listen to David’s interview today at 5:30 PM EDT on All Things Considered on NPR stations.

On Friday April 21 David will be interviewed on All Things Considered about the recent discovery of an inscribed ballcourt disc at Chichen Itza -- the first inscription to be found there in several years. The segment with Scott Detrow will air around 5:35 Eastern time.

The stone was found recently in Chichen by archaeologist Lizbeth Beatriz Mendicuti Pérez, working on the Chichen project directed by Jose Osario and the Francisco Perez.

The disc is hard to read, but clearly a dedication maker for a ballcourt. It includes a date, a “ballcourt glyph” and probably one or more historical names. It’s hard to read. Dave hopes to see it in person later this year.

Khipu Symposium – August 12th, 2023

Register Online Here!
https://form.jotform.com/231506139269155
Boundary End Archaeology Research Center is sponsoring a symposium on the current state of research of Inka Empire khipus. One hundred years ago Leland Locke published The Ancient Quipu or Peruvian Knot Record, a seminal work in the study of the khipu, the communications system of colored and knotted cords utilized by the peoples of the Andes in lieu of a script-based writing system. In celebration of this centennial, the Boundary End Archaeology Research Center (BEARC) is pleased to present this one-day public symposium in which seven khipu scholars will discuss the current state of research, from the khipu’s possible origins in the Middle Horizon (ca. 600–1000 CE), through its importance in the Inka Empire, to its continued use in contemporary times.
