#calendar
Researchers David Stuart from the University of Texas at Austin, Heather Hurst and Boris Beltrán from Skidmore College and independent scholar William Saturno report the earliest evidence of a Maya sacred calendar in Guatemala. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes their work, which involved sifting through painted mural fragments at the Las Pinturas pyramid complex in Guatemala, and how they found the calendar.
The Las Pinturas pyramid complex is located near San Bartolo and has been the site of excavation for a number of years. Prior research has shown construction at the site began 2,300 to 2,200 years ago and that the pyramids at the site were built in multiple phases. As each phase of the project was completed, parts of the old structure were knocked down. As the pyramids grew in size, the pieces of the knocked-down structures remained hidden inside, providing a timeline of sorts of the construction of the complex. Read more.
August 2015 Freebies
Hello, everyone! Many thanks for all the kind words about my first printable! I hope you’ll enjoy using this month’s freebie: a monthly calendar!
I’ve made several options for you to choose from:
- a standard calendar layout (with the week starting on a Sunday)
- a standard calendar layout (with the week starting on a Monday)
- a list layout, where you can write your goals for the month, jot down some notes, and have a longer space to write for each day. Oh, it also has a motivational quote to keep you going throughout the month!
The design is also highly customizable but it can stand alone with its clean black and white scheme!
