Abstract

GRANA-BEHRENS, Daniel. Santa Rosa Xtampak, Campeche, y sus inscripciones. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2004, vol.25, pp.33-45. ISSN 0185-2574.

The pre-Hispanic Maya site of Santa Rosa Xtampak, Campeche is best known for its great Palace, but is almost not explored archaeologically and only purely understood by its inscriptions. The present paper gives a short overview of the history of discovery and the archological advances before focusing on the inscriptions, especially on the stelae which show both, traces of local and regional patterns as well as discourse structures familiar from inscriptions of the central and southern lowland. However, it will be argued that they fit into the tradition of inscriptions known from the cultural area called northwest Yucatan.
