Maya Series

	Tikal The capital of the Classic Maya world, Tikal was the largest and most influential Maya center. Rebuilt many times on an increasingly grandiose scale, Tikal was inhabited from around 600 B. C. until the end of the Classic Maya civilization. Included are the major structures, stelae and artifacts of the site. By John Montgomery. 96 slides -- $75 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of all the images in this set.
	Palenque Palenque was a Late Classic Maya center in the Usumacinta system and may represent the apex of Maya art. Recently many of the great bas reliefs were damaged by volcanic ash and the exquisite grave goods from the Temple of the Inscriptions were stolen. Thus this set may be one of the few available photographic records of the site. By John Montgomery. 92 slides -- $70 -- Available on CD-Rom
	The Murals of Bonampak Paintings cover the walls of a three-room structure at Bonampak, a small late Classic Maya site in Chiapas. They chronicle a military raid, a triumphal procession and a sacrificial ritual. Made with the permission of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, this set is based entirely upon the color plates from the Institution's Supplementary Publication 46.By Pictures of Record. 42 slides -- $40 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Yaxchilan The Late Classic site of Yaxchilan (ca. A.D. 600-900) along the terraces of the Usumacinta River, is unique for its 59 sculptured stone lintels and its well preserved temples. Included are ball game panels from Hieroglyphic Stairway 2, the Labyrinth, Structure 33, and the lintels now in the Museum of Mankind, British Museum. By John Montgomery. 83 slides -- $66
	Piedras Negras The well preserved sculptures, artifacts and inscriptions of this Late Classic regional capital on the Guatemala side of the Usumacinta led to the first breakthrough in Maya glyph decipherment by Tatiana Proskouriakoff. Although the site is covered by foliage, major monuments are shown. By John Montgomery. 48 slides -- $48 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Copan A major late Classic Maya site in Honduras, Copan's scale was smaller than Tikal's. Although best known for its magnificent stelae, some of which achieve a distinctly baroque quality, the other sculptures, the Hieroglyphic Stairway, the ball courts, and the Acropolis all record the esthetic and dynastic achievements of the Maya. By John Montgomery. 89 slides -- $70 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Chichen Itza The Yucatan Maya-Toltec site of Chichen Itza is one of the largest in Mesoamerica. Spanning the Classic and post-Classic periods (from A.D. 600 to 1200), it combines with originality and vigor the ideas and craftsmanship of both the Maya and the Toltec. Included are the major monuments and their artifacts. By Pictures of Record. 98 slides -- $70
	Seibal Maya and non-Maya elements are found at Seibal, a late Classic site in Guatemala, which had a brief flowering at a time when the rest of the Classic Maya world was dying. Since this set was photographed, much of it has been looted; this may thus be one of the few available photographic records of an important transitional site. By John Montgomery. 56 slides -- $45
	Uxmal Uxmal is often considered architecturally the most interesting of all Maya centers. This late Classic site (A.D. 600-900) in Yucatan exemplifies the Puuc style; when it was constructed, it was revolutionary. The set includes the House of the Magician, unusual for its curved walls, and extensive detailed photographs of the Nunnery and the Palace. By Pictures of Record. 72 slides -- $57 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Quirigua Quirigua, a late Maya site on the Motagua River, may have been a dependency of Copan and thus related to Copan both historically and stylistically. At least one stela at Quirigua appears to have been carved by a Copan sculptor. This set includes details of the Quirigua stelae, two of which are the largest in the world, as well as the zoomorphic altars and the rare full-figure glyphs. By Pictures of Record. 48 slides -- $44
