Artifacts of Motul de San Jose
The Artifacts of Motul de San Jose have been collected, indexed and stored in this site. They are organized by their unique Provenience numbers which is a title searchable field.
We include here the corpus of artifact photographs and drawings of the Motul de San Jose Archaeological Project. We hope that this serves students in learning about prehispanic Maya civilization, and professionals for comparison with their archaeological materials. At this point, we have over 200 photographs of pottery vessels, and a few other non-ceramic artifacts. This is not a representative sample of the Motul de San Jose pottery collection because we have focused on the whole and partial polychrome vessels of the Late Classic period. We hope that in the future we will expand this photographic archive to include the broader range of ceramic types and time periods. We also hope that in the future we will be able to include other material classes, such as figurines, chert and obsidian tools, animal bones, etc.
