The Beast Between : Deer in Maya Art and Culture
The first book to focus on the multifaceted images of deer and hunting in ancient Maya art, from the award-winning author of To Be Like Gods: Dance in Ancient Maya Civilization. Winner, CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 2019The white-tailed deer had a prominent status in Maya civilization: it was the most important wild-animal food source at many inland Maya sites and also functioned as a major ceremonial symbol.Offering an in-depth semantic analysis of this imagery, The Beast Between considers iconography, hieroglyphic texts, mythological discourses, and ritual narratives to translate the significance and meaning of the vibrant metaphors expressed in a variety of artifacts depicting deer and hunting. Charting the importance of deer as a key component of the Maya diet, especially for elites, and analyzing the coupling of deer and maize in the Maya worldview, The Beast Between reveals a close and long-term interdependence between the Maya and these animals.Not only are deer depicted naturalistically in hunting and ritual scenes, but also they are assigned human attributes.This rich imagery reflects the many ways in which deer hunting was linked to status, sexuality, and war as part of a deeper process to ensure the regeneration of both agriculture and ancestry.Drawing on methodologies of art history, archaeology, and ethnology, this illuminating work is poised to become a key resource for multiple fields.

What is the Maya number system?
The Maya number system is a base-20 system that was used by the ancient Maya civilization. It is a vigesimal system, meaning it is based on the number 20 rather than the decimal system we use today, which is based on the number 10. The Maya number system uses a combination of dots and bars to represent different numbers, with each dot representing 1 and each bar representing 5. This system allowed the Maya to perform complex mathematical calculations and keep accurate records of their astronomical observations and calendar systems.
