The constellation system of the ancient Maya.
King, Timothy David.

The constellation system of the ancient Maya. - 189 p.

Adviser: James A. Fox.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2005.

This work provides a detailed analysis of archaeoastronomical imagery in Classic and Post-Classic Maya codical, mural, and ceramic art. By use of comparative iconographic methods, with the incorporation of modern and Colonial ethnographic materials, this dissertation proposes that some religious and mythological imagery of Classic Maya ceramics offers realistic depictions of ancient Maya constellations and recordings of astronomical observations. In this work, seven Maya constellations are identified and a proposal is advanced for the recording of a 6th Century Geminid meteor shower on a Classic Maya ceramic vessel.
