Over 150 years ago, Frederick Catherwood’s images helped introduce the world to the Maya. As technology has improved new types of images have been critical to the advancement of Maya studies. First with the camera lucida that helped increase the accuracy of drawings, then with the introduction of photgraphy and more recently with digital images and 3D scanning. This presentation will look at the technologies that have provided new ways to document and analyze Maya artifacts through images. (1 hour)
