Overview
Hieroglyphic inscriptions provide one of the most important sources of information on Classic period Maya rulers, and on the sociopolitical relations between lowland Maya polities. The discovery of new inscribed monuments and artifacts, particularly in Maya sub-regions where inscriptions are rare, can therefore provide critical new information on the political significance of these sites. In this paper, we describe the recent discovery at Cahal Pech of three bone rings, a bone pin, and fragments of turtle shell that were decorated with low-relief inscriptions. The hieroglyphic texts from Cahal Pech, along with the rich contents of the tomb where the artifacts were discovered, provide compelling evidence that Classic period Belize Valley elite employed symbols of rulership akin to those used by the powerful rulers of larger centers in the Maya lowlands. Inscripciones jeroglificas proveen una de las fuentes de información más importantes sobre los gobernantes mayas del periodo Clásico y sobre las relaciones socio-políticas entre las entidades politicas de las tierras bajas mayas. El descubrimiento de nuevos monumentos y artefactos inscritos, particularmente en las sub-regiones Mayas donde las inscripciones son raras, pueden por lo tanto proveer nueva información crítica sobre el significado político de estos sitios. En este artículo, describimos el reciente descubrimiento en Cahal Pech de très anillos de hueso, un alfiler de hueso y fragmentos de caparazón de tortuga, los cuales estuvieron decorados con inscripciones de bajo relieve. Los textos jeroglificos de Cahal Pech, junto con los ricos contenidos de la tumba en la cual los objetos fueron descubiertos, proveen evidencia convincente de que la élite del Valle de Beiice del periodo Clásico empleó símbolos de soberania semejantes a aquéllos usados por los poderosos gobernantes de los grandes centros de las tierras bajas Mayas. Hieroglypheninschriften bilden eine der wichtigsten Quellen für Information über die Herrscher der Maya der Klassischen Zeit, sowie über die sozio-politischen Beziehungen zwischen den Staaten des Maya-Tieflands. Die Entdeckung von neuen beschrifteten Monumenten, insbesondere in Subregionen der Maya-Welt in denen Inschriften ansonsten selten sind, kann deshalb wichtige neue Information über die politische Bedeutung dieser Stätten liefern. In diesem Artikel beschreiben wir die erst kürzlich in Cahal Pech entdeckten drei Knochenringe, eine Knochennadel und Fragmente von Schildkrötenpanzern, die mit Inschriften im Flachrelief beschriftet sind. Die Inschriften von Cahal Pech, zusammen mit dem reichen Inhalt des Grabes wo die Artefakte gefunden wurden liefern eindeutige Hinweise darauf, dass die Elite des Belize Valley in der Klassik die gleichen Symbole der Herrschaft verwendete wie mächtigere Herrscher aus den großen Zentren des Maya-Tieflands.
