Tikal Report 34A
A Commentary on the Architecture of
the North Acropolis, Tikal, Guatemala
H. Stanley Loten
A comprehensive series of reconstructed views rendered in colors
approximating the original fi nishes of polished plaster and paint,
with 42 different stages of development in 3-dimensional form,
show what the Acropolis looked like at various times from ca.
330 BCE to CE 600. On an accompanying CD-ROM 112 color plates
include constructions of individual structures and some photos
of Acropolis fabric at the time of excavation and consolidation.
The text accompanying the color plates provides a rationale for
the sequences illustrated and an interpretation of ancient Maya
intentions in developing the architectural forms that were found,
including ideas of rulership and monumental architecture.
H. Stanley Loten is an architect and former faculty member of
Carleton University.
