This language oriented course will touch on several areas within the very rich cultural and linguistic tradition of the Mayan speaking peoples of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. About 20% of the course will be devoted to an orientation identifying the various Mayan peoples and locating them within their Meso American cultural milieu. The rest of the course, accessed through texts in English, will focus on Mayan hieroglyphic writing, the history revealed in texts in Epigraphic Mayan, and the traditional literature of the Mayans, especially as embodied in the Poopol Wuuj (Popol Vuh), a K'iche' mythical, legendary, and historical narrative of the 16th century. Some of the course content will be fine tuned to relate to the special interests of the students once that has been learned. Prerequisites: none, except a determination to learn the basics of a language totally unlike any you have ever learned. Any background in linguistics, anthropology, Meso America, and languages other than English will be helpful.

The lectures focus on the principles of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition, on the erosive forces behind important sedimentary systems (e.g., rivers, deltas, beaches, etc.) and how these systems create distinctive deposits in the geologic record, on stratigraphic principles, and on the development of sedimentary basins. The labs focus on identifying and interpreting sedimentary rocks and structures and on applying the basic methods of stratigraphy to particular problems. Readings and written work will focus on scientifically interesting problems. This course is required for geology majors and is useful for archaeologists, geographers, environmental scientists, land planners, and civil and petroleum engineers.
