The Dynastic History of Naranjo: The Early Period

Resumen

A number of articles have been published which give glimpses into the dynastic history of Naranjo (Proskouriakoff, 1960; Berlin, 1968 and 1973; Beetz, 1980). However, none of these were devoted solely to elucidating the historical data in the Naranjo inscriptions. The Naranjo material is difficult to study because of the poor state of preservation of many Naranjo monuments. Earlier researchers also had difficulty in obtaining satisfactory pictorical records of these inscriptions. Although the former problem cannot be helped, the latter has been remedied by the appearance of Parts 1 and 2 of Volume 2 of the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions :(Graham and Von Euw, 1975 and Graham, 1978).
