摘要

我们所知道的古代玛雅人纹身是出于重要的社会和仪式原因，这主要是基于民族历史记载和经典玛雅图像。值得注意的是，他们使用的纹身工具在考古记录中没有被发现。根据工具形式、使用磨损和残留物，从伯利兹Actun Uayazba Kab（手印洞）上部岩架（岩架1）的石灰华池中回收的两块经过修复的燧石燃烧碎片被解释为用于此目的的石器制品。从洞穴中发现的这些工具引发了人们对古典时期（公元250-900年）古玛雅纹身的仪式性质和背景的质疑。

Two ancient Maya tattooing tools from Actun Uayazba Kab, Roaring Creek Valley, Belize

Our knowledge that the ancient Maya tattooed themselves for significant social and ceremonial reasons is primarily based on ethnohistoric accounts and Classic Maya imagery. Notably, the tattooing implements they used have gone undetected in the archaeological record. Based on tool form, use-wear, and residues, two retouched chert burin spalls recovered from travertine pools on an upper ledge (Ledge 1) of Actun Uayazba Kab (Handprint Cave), Belize, are interpreted as lithic artifacts used for this purpose. The recovery of these implements from a cave raises questions about the ritual nature and context of ancient Maya tattooing in the Classic period (AD 250–900).
