TIME IN SPIRALSFrom June to September 1999, the Palenque Site Museum, in Chiapas, presented the exhibition, Time in Spirals: New Findings in the Maya Area, showing 136 Maya pieces found throughout archaeological sites in southwestern Mexico during the last ten years. To illustrate this article, we have selected fourteen of the finest examples, basing our selection on both the artistic quality of the pieces, and the information they offer. The objects presented here are part of Mexico's cultural patrimony, under the custody of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), and were exhibited for the first time after their discovery in the sites of: Calakmul and Balamku (Campeche); Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Xcambo and Mayapan (Yucatan); and Palenque and Tonina (Chiapas).
