Abstract

This article examines Middle and Late Preclassic period ritual activity and caches discovered in the Central E Group complex at the ancient Maya site of Cival, which is located in northeastern Peten, Guatemala. It focuses on a series of excavations conducted in 2013 and 2014 at Structure 9, the E Group's western radial pyramid and uses theories of social memory and sacred place to provide insight into the recently discovered caches, termination rituals, and the deliberate destruction of architectural features found there. It also draws on previous ritual activity conducted in the Central E Group plaza and the site's broader history to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of this complex as a sacred place and hub of memory at Cival for more than 1,000 years.

西瓦尔玛雅城的藏书、记忆和仪式
本文研究了位于危地马拉佩滕东北部古玛雅遗址西瓦尔的中E组建筑群中发现的中晚期前古典时期的仪式活动和藏匿物。本研究重点关注 2013 年和 2014 年在 E 组西侧放射状金字塔 9 号结构进行的一系列发掘活动,并运用社会记忆和圣地理论,对最近发现的藏匿物、终止仪式以及蓄意破坏建筑特征的行为进行深入分析。本研究还借鉴了以前在 E 组中央广场进行的仪式活动以及该遗址更广泛的历史,以便更全面地了解该建筑群在 1000 多年的时间里作为西瓦尔的圣地和记忆中心所发挥的作用。
