Baessler-Archiv, Neue Folge, Band XVII (1969) 265 STONE, BONE, AND SHELL OBJECTS FROM LAKE AMATITLAN, GUATEMALA STEPHAN F. DE BORHEGYI, Milwaukee* Throughout the last fifteen years (1954—69) the underwater explorations at Lake Amatitlan, Guatemala have yielded over 800 complete and nearly com plete pottery objects, mostly elaborately decorated incense burners (about 550 pieces), many of which have already been published and illustrated in various reports by this author (de Borhegyi, 1958 a, b, c; 1959 a, b; 1960 a; 1965 a, b; 1966). However, up to now only a few of the Lake Amatitlan area stone, shell, and bone objects have been illustrated (de Borhegyi, 1959 b, p. 235; 1965 b, pp. 176-77, fig. 3; 1967, pp. 221-22, figs. 1-2; and Mata Amado, 1963 and 1964). The following inventory is an attempt to present these objects for the first time, and wherever it is possible, to draw inferences about their role and function in Highland Maya prehistory 1 . * I wish to express my profound gratitude to my many Guatemalan and North Ame rican diving companions who ever since 1954 have been devoting much of their time to cooperating with the author’s Lake Amatitlan Underwater Recovery Operation (L.A.U.R.O.). While to each and all of them I owe the success of our project, a very special thanks must be recorded to Shr. Jorge Castillo, owner of Finca Guanacaste at Lake Amatitlan and to my Guatemalan diver friends Guiller mo Mata Amado, Pablo Capuano, Enrique Salazar, Manfred Töpke, Jorge Samayoa-Delgado, Billy Taillon, and Jimmy Kitchen; and to Lon Mericle, Verne Burkhardt, Charles Stanley, Pete Jenkins, and Leo Johnson, of the Milwaukee Public Museum. My wife Suzanne actively participated in most dives and was always ready, helpful, and patient with the many demands made on her time and talents. Under the tutelage of the Guatemalan Institute of Anthropology, our several field seasons at Lake Amatitlan were variously sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Wenner Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Ame rican Philosophical Society, the Bollingen Foundation, and the University of Oklahoma Faculty Research Institute, to all of whom I owe my sincerest thanks. The photographs, unless otherwise noted, are by Miss Joya Hairs of Guatemala City and Leo Johnson, Milwaukee Public Museum Chief Photographer. Last, but not least, the kind and ever willing help of Curators Dieter Eisleb and Otto Zerries of the Völkerkunde Museum of Berlin and Miimch respectively are acknowledged herewith with gratitude. 1 It should be noted here that in May 1917, Marshall H. Saville, while at Lake Amatitlan, obtained a large collection of pottery and stone objects which according
