Transferring Neural Representations for Low-Dimensional Indexing of Maya Hieroglyphic Art
We analyze the performance of deep neural architectures for extracting shape representations of binary images, and for generating low-dimensional representations of them. In particular, we focus on indexing binary images exhibiting compounds of Maya hieroglyphic signs, referred to as glyph-blocks, which constitute a very challenging dataset of arts given their visual complexity and large stylis...
متن کاملThe Lazy-S: A Formative Period Iconographic Loan to Maya Hieroglyphic Writing
discovered Monument 31 from the highland site of Chalcatzingo demonstrates for the first time that at least by the Middle Formative Period (900-500 B.C.), the Lazy-S motif, like its Classic Maya counterpart, was associated with both clouds and bloodletting. Although the Lazy-S motif figures prominently in the iconographic corpus at Chalcatzingo, until the analysis of Monument 31 no context exis...
متن کاملClassic Maya Bloodletting and the Cultural Evolution of Religious Rituals: Quantifying Patterns of Variation in Hieroglyphic Texts
Religious rituals that are painful or highly stressful are hypothesized to be costly signs of commitment essential for the evolution of complex society. Yet few studies have investigated how such extreme ritual practices were culturally transmitted in past societies. Here, we report the first study to analyze temporal and spatial variation in bloodletting rituals recorded in Classic Maya (ca. 2...
متن کاملNetwork analysis of a corpus of undeciphered Indus civilization inscriptions indicates syntactic organization
Archaeological excavations in the sites of the Indus Valley civilization (2500 − 1900 BCE) in Pakistan and northwestern India have unearthed a large number of artifacts with inscriptions made up of hundreds of distinct signs. To date, there is no generally accepted decipherment of these sign sequences, and there have been suggestions that the signs could be non-linguistic. Here we apply complex...
