Religion and Iconography of the Preclassic Maya at Rio Azul, Peten, Guatemala

The ancient Maya site of Rio Azul is located in northeastern Peten, Guatemala and was the focus of a five year program of study from 1983 to 1987. Excavations at Rio Azul have produced pottery indicating an occupation beginning in the early Middle Formative (ca. 1000 BC) and extending well into the Late Classic (ca. AD 850). A mapping program at the site was completed by Miguel Orrego C. and Erick Ponciano between 1984 and 1986. In their mapping, structure G-103, a large truncated pyramidal platform was located rather isolated from the Rio Azul civic center. A testing phase for G-103 was implemented in 1986, primarily with interest in chronology and structure function. G-103 was first thought to have beeen a large 14 m high platform, 50 m x 50 m. at the base and 35 m x 35 m on the top, that had supported four to five mostly perishable buildings. Although the G-103 structure is estimated at 14 m high, a significant segment of the height is believed to be a natural knoll on which it was constructed. The 1986 excavations on top of the structure revealed, within one meter of the surface, a thick, hard stucco wall with an apron molding. The thick, smooth styled stucco was indicative of Late Preclassic technology. The Late Preclassic assessment was further supported by the ceramic analysis. The findings indicated that the presumed four to five small structures atop the platform may have formed a small plaza group comprised of plaster coated buildings which had been intentionally buried by the Late Preclassic Maya. The 1987 season included a full excavation effort at G-103 However, within a few weeks it became clear that the wall section exposed in the 1986 season was not part of a small building forming a plaza, but rather a side wall of a monumental construction. It was the intentional covering of the stuccoed building
