Kaminaljuyú Sculpture Project
An Expandable Three-Dimensional Database
Sponsored by a major research grant from the
Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI)
This project establishes an expandable three-dimensional corpus of sculpted monuments from the
site of Kaminaljuyú Guatemala. This site was a socioeconomic epicenter during the Formative and Classic
periods that witnessed the restructuring of the symbolic manifestations of power and authority. The
diachronic sequence of iconographic and epigraphic transformation contained on the site's sculpted
monuments will be captured by ultra-high definition three-dimensional laser scans. The entire database of
Kaminaljuyú sculpture will be available to international researchers, teachers, and students who can view,
download, and manipulate each image from Mesoamerican Three-Dimensional Imaging Project page available on the
FAMSI web site.
