Networks of City Life in Classic Maya Chiapas: Women as Social Agents

With Stahl funding, Rosemary Joyce, Esther Parpal Cabanes, and Jeanne Lopiparo initiated research on curated ceramic figurines from Classic Maya Tonina in June-July 2025. This involved assembling a corpus estimated at 800 figurines; organizing the corpus in categories based on imagery; creation of a relational database to capture information about production, imagery, and possible secondary function (e.g. as musical instruments); and entry into the database of records for 20% of the collection, including all images identified as featuring female characters.
