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 2.112A) 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 Saturday and Sunday, March 9-10, 2002. Registration at 8am, 
program 9am - 5 pm. The first Forum, then known as the Workshop on Maya 
Hieroglyphic Writing, was conducted by Dr. Linda Schele in 1977, and it has 
been presented each year since, by Dr. Schele and her colleagues and 
successors. This year's Forum will be presented by Nikolai Grube, 
University of Texas at Austin, and Simon Martin, University College, 
London, co-authors of Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens (2000). 
This year's topic: PALENQUE AND ITS NEIGHBORS. The forum consists of 
12 hours of lectures, with comment and discussion from the audience. No 
prior knowledge of the glyphs is required; however, some familiarity with 
the Maya is presupposed. Dr. Mathews' Friday night introductory lecture is 
designed to provide review and background. For those wishing further 
preparation, attention is called to the February weekend workshop at 
Southwest Texas, described elsewhere. Those wishing an even closer 
encounter with the glyphs should consider the Long Workshop, open to 
beginners and specifically designed to provide an intensive, hands-on 
experience in deciphering real glyph texts. NOTE NEW LOCATION: LBJ 
Auditorium below the LBJ Library, UT Austin Campus. Lower entrance below 
Library near the fountain; upper entrance through Sid Richardson Hall, east 
side. Fee: $55, which includes a copy of the Notebook. 

LONG WORKSHOPS:The Long Workshops will be held Monday through Saturday, 
March 11-16, 2002. 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 
will normally participate in a 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. The team will include Ruud van 
Akkeren, Nikolai Grube, John Harris, Nicholas Hopkins, J. Kathryn 
Josserand, John Justeson,Terry Kaufmann, Justin Kerr, Bruce Love, Simon 
Martin, Peter Mathews, John Pohl, Elisabeth Wagner, Robert Wald, Robert 
Williams, and Marc Zender. 
The workshops are designed to provide practical experience in the 
analytical methods applied 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, the 
calendar, structure of Mayan verbs). The Long Workshop concludes on 
Saturday, when participants share progress and results in group 
presentations. Thus the exact time varies, but proceedings usually end by 
early afternoon. . 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 scissors 
and transparent lift-off tape for their own use. Please note that all 
workshops last 6 days, 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: $215. 

MAYA and ADVANCED SEMINAR GROUPS: This year, groups will be investigate the 
texts and history of Palenque, Tonina, Tortugero, Piedras Negras, Chichen 
Itza/Northern Yucatan, and Yaxchilan. Veteran Long Workshop participants 
are encouraged to develop their own special projects. First timers will 
ordinarily work on the rich and detailed Palenque texts. Elizabeth Wagner 
will lead a group on Maya Iconography. Justin Kerr heads a ceramics texts 
and iconography workshop; professional photographer Kerr is author of the 
Maya Vasebooks and co-author of The Art of the Maya Scribe. Bruce Love, 
author of The Paris Codex:Handbook of a Maya Priest, will coordinate work 
on the Maya codices. John Justeson and Terry Kaufman lead investigation of 
the Epi-Olmec La Mojarra script and Zapotec writing. Robert Wald heads a 
group working on Maya verbs in hieroglyphic texts. Ruud van Akkeren will 
present a special workshop on highland Maya colonial texts, designed to 
introduce the Popul Wuj to beginners and glyphers, and to investigate the 
relation and relevance of its dance-dramas, historical information, and 
mythology to the Classic and Preclassic periods of Mesoamerica. Van Akkeren 
is author of Place of the Lord's Daughter. 

MIXTEC CODICES. The Mixtec Workshop will be divided into a novice group and 
an advanced group. Conducted by Director John Pohl and Assistant Director 
Robert Williams, the two groups will have periodic joint sessions, then 
separate to pursue separate projects. Designed for those without previous 
experience in the codices, the novice section will focus on the Legend of 
Eight Deer and Six Monkey and other selected topics. Texts will be the 
Dover Publications paperback edition of the Codex Nuttall, and the Codex 
Zouche-Nuttall by John M. D. Pohl, Mixtec Codex Workshop Book No. 1. The 
former should be purchased in advance if possible, the latter will be 
available at the workshop. 
The advanced section will continue last year's analysis of the Lienzos 
of Coixtlahuaca and related documents together with themes in 
Mixteca-Puebla style pottery. Learn to use indigenous pictographic maps as 
the basis for testable hypotheses about social change and ritual landscape 
in Mesoamerica. The Selden Roll is outstanding among nearly a dozen 
Precolumbian Mixtec-Chocho style documents that record the creation legends 
and king lists of Coixtlahuaca, the most powerful kingdom in the southern 
Mexican highlands. Required readings: Elizabeth Hill Boone: Stories in Red 
and Black, U of Tx Press 1999 (see chap 6:125-161); Ross Parmenter: Four 
Lienzos of the Coixtlahuaca Valley, Dumbarton Oaks 1982; M.E. Smith: 
Picture Writing from Ancient Southern Mexico, U of Ok Press 1973 (see 
appendix C).

Religion and Iconography." 


FEBRUARY BEGINNERS WORKSHOP ON MAYA GLYPHS 

at Southwest Texas State University 

With Beginners In Mind! 

While beginners are welcome at the Forum and can benefit from attendance, 
they will find some issues beyond them. Peter Mathews' Friday night 3-hour 
introductory lecture is intended to provide some preparation. And for 
those with the time, the weeklong Long Workshop is an unparalled education 
in glyphs. A briefer alternative is the following: in conjunction with the 
Maya Meetings, a weekend workshop on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing designed 
with beginners in mind will be conducted by Peter Keeler, director of the 
UT Maya Meetings, at Southwest Texas State University. Starting from 
"scratch", this workshop is intended to be useful to beginners as well as 
those with more experience. 

Date:Feb 9-10, 2002. Location: Flowers Hall Rm 230, Southwest Texas State 
University, San Marcos Texas, about 20 miles south of Austin. Sat 9-5, Sun

MAYA HIEROGLYPHIC WORKSHOP\FORUM NOTEBOOKS: 

Beginning with the IInd Maya Workshop in 1978, Dr. Linda Schele and, after 
1993, her co-presenters, and guest presenters, have prepared a Notebook for 
each Workshop. After 1998, Schele's successors have continued the 
tradition. In 1996, the name was changed from Workshop to Forum.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 into two major sections: an introduction to 
Maya glyphs and an analysis of glyphic texts. The former section is 
up-dated periodically to incorporate new discoveries and interpretations. 
Through the 1988 Workshop, the glyph texts used in the analysis sections 
were Classic period texts from Palenque, the Maya site at which the 
longest inscriptions occur. These texts were divided into three groups, one 
of which was analyzed each year; with relevant updating. 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.

THE INSCRIPTIONS OF PALENQUE 
A glyph-by-glyph translation of the major inscriptions 

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 in 
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. 

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,

U MUT MAYA BOOKS: 

Cutting edge research and exciting discoveries have been the hallmark of 
the Maya Meetings at Texas from the beginning. Some of the 
world's greatest epigraphers and other Mayanists gather each year at the 
Long Workshop in a think-tank atmosphere to engage important 
questions. The six volumes of the U Mut Maya series present papers, 
reports, and analyses growing out of the Long Workshops- 
Advanced Seminars of the Maya Meetings at Texas. Edited by Tom and Carolyn 
Jones of Humboldt State University, these very reasonably 
priced volumes are 200-300 pages, perfect bound, and contain articles by 
John Harris, Bruce Frumker, Linnea Wren, Justin Kerr, 
Nikolai Grube, Barbara MacLeod, and many others. Also available is the 
excellent Humboldt State Workshop Notebook, a useful handbook 
for the study of Maya hieroglyphic texts, which focuses on the calendar and 
the technique of structural analysis as tools in decipherment. 
For complete details contact Tom and Carolyn Jones at P.O. Box 564, Bayside 
CA 95524, USA, or call 707-822-1515, fax 707-822-0119.
