Since 1975, the Peabody Museum has been publishing The Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions, a unique series of folio volumes with the goal to document all known Maya inscriptions and their associated figurative art.
'The Corpus will be a lasting contribution to the study of the Maya and will save much of the cultural heritage of Mesoamerica from sure obliteration.'
--American Antiquity
This is the first of four volumes on the famous Pacific Coast site of Cotzumalhuapa, Escuintla, Guatemala. This fascicle describes the site and history of exploration at one of the major Late Classic cities of Mesoamerica, as well as the city's interchange and cultural overlaps with the lowland Maya region. It includes coverage of twenty-one monuments from Bilbao, a major ceremonial compound with sculptures that serve as distinctive examples of the Cotzumalhuapa art style.
