TR27A reports on goods used as markers of social status and goods used
in ritual. It describes the splendid ornaments and insignia of jade,
shell, pearls, and inscribed bone shown in representations on monuments
and pottery vessels and recovered from the burials of Tikal's elites.
Each artifact is described in the text, tabulated, and richly
illustrated with drawings and photographs. An accompanying CD-ROM
includes updated databases for all recovered objects, enabling the
reader to discover detailed relationships between artifact, date, and
context. It also includes William R. Coe's drafts of reconstructions of
destroyed offerings and typologies for ceremonial lithics and shell
Charlie Chaplin figurines.
