Brainerd (1958:24) recovered sizeable concentrations of a distinct narrow-mouthed monopod jar displaying burnished patterns atop matte unslipped surfaces. Both the form and burnished designs were unknown elsewhere in the Maya area at the time (Brainerd 1958:82). Because the material, later typed as Yotolin Pattern-burnished (Smith and Giffbrd 1965), lies below levels he identified as containing Late Preclassic (300 BC-3oo AD) wares and appeared stylistically earlier than Middle Preclassic (900-300 BC) deposits elsewhere, Brainerd deemed it Early Preclassic (pre-iooo BC), therefore constituting "the earliest deposits yet to come from Yucatan" (1951:73). Yotolin material was subsequently recovered from a number of caves in the northern Maya lowlands, but deep deposits from the site of Xocnaceh, on the nortfiern edge of the Puuc (figure 14.1), produced the first Yotolin material found from undisturbed stratigraphic contexts unrelated to a water source. One of the deposits also yielded a radiocarbon date, therefore providing much-needed information about the poorly understood ware. We will begin with a review of the

The entire northern Maya lowlands, including most of the modern states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo, are thought to have been home to no more than 600,000 to 1,000,000

The advanced seminar on Copan was held that October at the School of American Research. Limited excavations, exposure of burials, consolidation of buildings investigated by the PAAC, analysis, and work on the new Sculpture Museum were to continue, but that year seemed an appropriate time for us to gather the results of this research and consider them in a setting conducive to extensive discussion about the rise and fall of this distinguished Maya kingdom. Only once before has an SAR advanced seminar concentrated exclusively on one site. The study of Chan Chan, published in 1982, followed years of survey and excavation in this huge urban compound on the north coast of Peru. Numerous earlier SAR seminars on various aspects of ancient Maya civilization provided an enormously productive backdrop and incentive for looking at broader problems through the venue of one particularly well-studied kingdom. A natural follow-up on the Copan session was the 1999 advanced seminar on the great Maya metropolis of Tikal, published in 2003. At Copan, investigations and consolidation beginning in the late nineteenth century were carried out by A. P. Maudslay, Harvard University, the Carnegie Institution, and the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History. Since 1975, research by Honduras, Harvard, Penn State, and other institutions has continued almost every year at the site center, in the immediately surrounding valley, or along the much more extensive Copan River drainage. This research has run the gamut of investigation, from the largest public buildings to the simplest dwellings, from the mundane artifacts of daily subsistence to the elaborate possessions of the rich and powerful, from food production, land use, and water control to art, writing, and astronomy. Through these decades of investigation, the differing scales of research and theoretical xin
