Fee: $55. INTRODUCTORY LECTURE: 93Introducing Maya Glyphs94 is an introductory public lecture to be given by Dr. Peter Mathews on Friday evening, March 9, from 7pm to 10pm. The lecture will provide an introduction to the weekend Forum on Hieroglyphic Writing, setting the context, and explaining and reviewing essential background material. A veteran of the Maya Meetings and many hieroglyphic workshops such as the Cleveland Maya Festival, Dr. Mathews is an expert epigrapher. Location: University of Texas at Austin campus: Undergraduate Teaching Center, ground floor (UTC 1.112A) On the south side of 21st St, between University Ave and Speedway. Fee $7.00. HIEROGLYPHIC FORUM: The Linda Schele Forum on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 10-11, 2001. The first Forum was conducted by Dr. Linda Schele in 1977, and it has been presented each year since that time, by Dr. Schele and her colleagues, on the University of Texas at Austin campus, under the auspices of the Department of Art and Art History, the College of Fine Arts, the U.T. Institute of Latin American Studies, and the Maya Workshop Foundation. Until 1996, the Forum was known as the Workshop on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing, when the name was changed to the Forum on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing. In honor of Dr. Schele, who passed away in 1998, the name has now become the Linda Schele Forum on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing. This year's Forum will be will cover two areas of research. Saturday will be a presentation of Preclassic and Early Classic Maya Glyphs by Nikolai Grube, University of Texas at Austin, and Simon Martin, University College, London. Both men are veterans of the Maya Meetings, having presented together the 1998 and 2000 Forums. Their new book, Chronicles of the Maya Kings, has just been published. In 1999, Dr. Grube was selected as the first holder of the newly created Linda and David Schele Chair in the Art and Writing of Mesoamerica at the University of Texas. Sunday will be a presentation on the Epi-Olmec La Mojarra script by Terrence Kaufman of the University of Pittsburgh, and John Justeson of the State University of New York at Albany. The forum consists of 12 hours of lectures, with comment and discussion from the audience. There will be four sessions, from 9am-12noon and 2pm-5pm, each day. No prior knowledge of the glyphs is required; however, some familiarity with the Maya is presupposed. The subject is difficult for beginners; the more preparation the better. Dr. Mathews' introductory lecture on Friday night is designed to provide review and background. The Notebook for the Forum is provided free to Forum participants, and is also sold separately. (For those with a desire for a closer encounter with the glyphs, attention is called to Long Workshop, which is specifically designed to provide an intensive, hands-on experience in deciphering real glyph texts, and is open to beginners.) Forum Location: McCullough Theatre, in the Performing Arts Center on the Univ. of Texas campus, on the west side of Robert Dedman Dr(Formerly East Campus Drive), roughly across the street from the LBJ Library. Fee: $55, which includes a copy of the Notebook. LONG WORKSHOPS:The Long Workshops will be held Monday, March 12 through Saturday, March 17, 2001. The Workshops are divided into a Maya Hieroglyphic workshop, a Mixtec codices workshop, and advanced seminar groups. Topics for individual workshop groups vary from year to year. First time attendees usually will participate in a group in either the Maya or Mixtec workshop at a level corresponding to their experience. Admittance to advanced seminar groups is by application, on the registration form. The Long Workshops will be conducted by an experienced team of experts on Mayan epigraphy and related disciplines, under the general direction of Professor Tom Jones of Humboldt State University, with the assistance of Carolyn Jones. The team will include Federico Fahsen, Nikolai Grube, John Harris, Nicholas Hopkins, Carolyn Jones, J. Kathryn Josserand, John Justeson, Terrence Kaufmann, Justin Kerr, Bruce Love, Simon Martin, Peter Mathews, John Pohl, Cheyenne Spetzler, Ruud van Akkeren, Robert Wald, Elizabeth Wagner, and Robert Williams. The workshops are designed to provide practical experience in the analytical methods discussed in the Forum. They emphasize strategies of communication that integrate information from hieroglyphic, pictorial, linguistic, iconographic, and archaeological sources. To experienced glyphers, they offer a stimulating environment and expert assistance for research. For beginners, they provide a carefully designed and proven method for gaining practical experience and making significant advancement in a difficult subject in a short time. Participants will divide into small groups to work on selected glyphic texts and other data. Introductory briefings will be held on useful topics (e.g. Maya iconography, structure of Mayan verbs). In addition, Professor Jones will deliver two special lectures : Introduction to the Maya Calendar and Introduction to Structural Analysis.Materials available for reference include books of inscriptions, Maya dictionaries, computers and software to aid in calendrical and astronomical analysis, and much more. Participants will share progress and results in group presentations on Saturday. These Final Sessions will be organized and chaired by Tom Jones. Prior experience in glyph research is not required, but participants will need some knowledge of Maya culture and some familiarity with the calendar system. Participants should bring paper, scissors, and transparent lift-off tape for their own use. Beginners are also welcome in the Mixtec workshop. Please note that each workshop last 6 days, so that only one workshop may be attended, and attendees must make a commitment to stay for the entire period. Special project topics for the advanced seminar groups and the Mixtec workshop are listed below. Location: Art Building on the University of Texas campus, on the northeast corner of San Jacinto Blvd and E. 23rd St., across from the football stadium. Fee: $210. MAYA and ADVANCED SEMINAR GROUPS. This year, special groups will be formed to investigate the texts and history of Cancuen, Calakmul, Caracol, Pusilha, Palenque, and Chichen Itza/Northern Yucatan. Justin Kerr will lead a group on Maya Ceramic Texts. John Justeson and Terrence Kaufman head a workshop on the La Mojarra Epi-Olmec script. The Maya Verbs workshop continues under the direction of Robert Wald. New offerings include: Special group on Maya Iconography and Cosmology of the Preclassic and Early Classic, led by Elizabeth Wagner. Bruce Love will head a workshop on Maya Codices.

Dr. Ruud van Akkeren leads a workshop on Highland Texts of Guatemala: "the Pop Wuj and Its Author(s), for both beginners and advanced scholars. Van Akkeren is the Author of PLACE OF THE LORD'S DAUGHTER: Rabinal, Its History, Its Dance-Drama. For information on preparatory reading, contact the Maya Meetings office. Experienced participants, who have attended the Long Workshop in previous years, are encouraged to develop their own special projects. MIXTEC CODICES: The Mixtec Codex Workshop will continue with Director John M.D. Pohl and Assistant Director Robert Williams. The workshop is open to all; no prior experience is required. The Mixtec Workshop 2001 presents a new and expanded program. This year the workshop will be divided into two sections in order to diversify our approach and encourage the participation of advanced graduate students and scholars who wish to use pictographic resources in their research. CODEX ZOUCHE-NUTTALL: Foundational Reading Techniques for Mixtec Codices. This session, taught by Robert Williams, is a thorough examination of one of the most remarkable works of Precolumbian art in existence, portraying the legend of the 12th century warlord named Lord Eight Deer. It is designed for those without experience with Mixtec Codices or formal instruction in codex interpretation. Dr. Pohl will add supplementary lectures and be readily available for discussion. Class worksheets will be handed out at the beginning of the seminar and will constitute minimal additional expense. Required texts: Codex Nuttall, Dover Pubs. Codex Zouche-Nuttall, by John M.D. Pohl - Mixtec Workshop Book #1. Available from the Maya Hieroglyphic Workshop, or at the Workshop. THE SELDON ROLL:An Advanced Workshop in Reading the Lienzos of the Coixtlahuaxca Group. Dont just do another field survey! Learn to use indigenous pictographic maps as the basis for testable hypotheses about social change and ritual landscape in Mesoamerica. The Selden Roll preserved in Oxford University's Bodleian Library is outstanding among nearly a dozen Precolumbian style Mixtec-Chocho documents that record the creation legends and king lists of Coixtlahuaca, the most powerful kingdom in the southern Mexican highlands until its defeat by the Aztec Empire of the Triple Alliance in 1458. A copy of the codex together with a special workbook will be prepared for the class. Scholastic books and articles will also be available for consultation. A special session on Structural Analysis of Mixtec codices will be conducted by Heather Orr. The workshop will be largely self-directed under the supervision of Dr. Pohl. Dr. Pohl will be joined by special guest scholar Dr. Sue Scott, expert on Classic and Epiclassic connections between Teotihuacan and Oaxaca.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS DRAWINGS: The Maya city of Piedras Negras, with its exquisite lintels, altars, and stelae, has long been a source of fascination for artist-epigrapher John Montgomery. For years, with skilled hands and painstaking dedication, John has labored to produce a complete record of the monuments of that beautiful city on the shores of the Usumacinta River. Based on personal observation, augmented by descriptions, drawings, and photos of both early and recent visitors to the site, some 140 drawings have been completed to date. Many of these accurate, highly-regarded drawings have circulated privately for use in classes and research workshops at the University of Texas, the Maya Meetings at Texas, the Penn Maya Weekend, and elsewhere, allowing John to benefit from comments and suggestions from art-historians and epigraphers in his production of the final versions. Now, for the first time, the Piedras Negras drawings of John Montgomery are publicly available. Up to the time of printing (Dec, 1993), the very latest completed drawings will be included. Over 140 drawings, together with useful tables, king-lists, and other data-compilations and analyses generated in recent workshops. Spiral bound, with cardstock covers. $45, postpaid. Available from the Maya Workshop Foundation, P.O. Box 3500, Austin, TX 78764-3500, or order on the registration form. UPDATED in 1999: PALENQUE TRIAD, 2nd Edition. Fifteen years is a long time in the fast-moving world of Maya Hieroglyphic decipherment. Gradually, the original translations offered in the PALENQUE TRIAD have gotten out of date. And much more has been learned. Using the original format, an updated and corrected second edition is now available - together in one volume: the hieroglyphic inscriptions and glyph-by-glyph translations and commentary that appear in the Notebooks of the 1986, 1987, and 1988 Workshops on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing, updated for 1999. Not included are the introductory sections of these Notebooks. The PALENQUE TRIAD provides a convenient reference to the major inscriptions at Palenque, including Palace Tablet, the Tablet of The Slaves, the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs, the Temple of the Inscriptions panels, and the texts from the Temples of the Cross, Sun, and Foliated Cross. The volume comes spiral-bound with cardstock covers. $45, postpaid. MAYA HIEROGLYPHIC WORKSHOP\FORUM NOTEBOOKS: Beginning with the IInd Maya Workshop in 1978, Dr. Schele and, after 1993, her co-presenters, and presenters, have prepared a Notebook for each Workshop. These Notebooks not only serve the Workshops, but are also the only published materials documenting year by year the advance of the field of Maya hieroglyphic decipherment. All Notebooks are spiral bound with heavy paper covers. Each is divided nto two major sections: an introduction and explanation of the functioning of the glyph system; and actual glyph texts. The former section is up-dated and expanded each year to incorporate new discoveries and interpretations. Through the XIIth Workshop in 1988, the glyph texts used in the analysis sections were Classic period tablets at Palenque, the Maya site at which the longest inscriptions occur. These texts were divided into three groups, one of which was analyzed each year; each year the data were up-dated and revised to reflect new interpretations and decipherments. Beginning in 1989, Workshops focused on other sites and topics, as elaborated below. The earliest Notebooks are largely of historical interest, the information in them having been superceded by that in later Notebooks, but those still in print are listed here for the convenience of individuals and libraries desiring to obtain as complete a set of Notebooks as possible. 1977-1981: I-Vth Workshops: Out of print 1982: VIth Workshop: $35. 104 pages divided roughly equally between explanatory material and analyses of the Palace Tablet, the Temple XVIII jambs, and the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs, at Palenque.

Years ago workmen digging in the area around the Palace at Palenque found a large flat limestone among the debris on the south side of the Tower. Because of its size, a workman began to break it into smaller pieces with a pickaxe, and it received several severe blows before someone discovered that its other side was carved with a long hieroglyphic inscription. Most of the text was pieced together, but some of the smaller fragments were totally shattered and never recovered. It had lain hidden under rubble for centuries, in perfect condition, until that fateful day. Named the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs, its text preserves the calligraphic beauty of glyphs written with a brush, and indeed it may have been carved by the same master hand that painted its hieroglyphic text. All its fine qualities of detail and shading have been admirable captured in Linda Schele's drawing of its glyph text, and are faithfully reproduced in a dramatic poster. Individual glyphs are roughly one inch by one-and one-half inches in size; the entire text area measures over 28 inches in width by more than 12 inches in height. The poster is 35 inches wide and 23 inches high, printed in black ink on heavyweight white semi-glossy poster stock.
