Symposium: 13 - 14 November 2009

The theme of this year's conference will be: "Maya Political Relations and Strategies".

Papers delivered at the symposium will focus on interactions between Maya sociopolitical entities through time and across landscapes. The analysis will cover epigraphic, iconographic, archaeological, ethnohistorical and linguistic evidence.

Some of the issues expected to be touched upon include:
· the political and cultural role of interactions and alliances for a particular political entity,
· the character of political interrelations between centres, as well as their change and reorientation over time,
· the cultural impact which some centres might have had on others,
· the effect of war on political systems and relations,
· studies on trade, communication networks and tribute,
· analysis of the archaeological materials that provide evidence of interactions between some Maya political entities,
· the role of these relations for the development of Maya culture in general.

Keynote speakers will include:

Charles Golden (Brandeis University) & Andrew Sherer (Baylor University), Elizabeth Graham (University College London), Nikolai Grube (University of Bonn), Bernard Hermes (Nakuum Archaeological Project, Guatemala), Wiesław Koszkul (Jagellonian University Cracow), Simon Martin (University of Pennsylvania Museum), Robert Sharer & Loa Traxler (University of Pennsylvania Museum), Jarosław Źrałka (Jagellonian University Cracow)
