This volume describes and illustrates the ceramic figurines excavated at the Maya site of Tikal, Guatemala, from 1956 through 1969. The collection includes both hand modelled and mould-made figures, human and animal, as well as related ceramic objects including figurine moulds, flutes and panpipes. The figurines are classified by subject matter, and the site distribution and dating are discussed. These figurines form the largest excavated collection of ceramic figurines from a Maya site, and are one of the major artifact categories from the site of Tikal. Most of the classifiable pieces are illustrated at a scale that allows comparison with similar objects from other Maya sites. The purpose of this volume is the presentation of the material from the site of Tikal; comparative material is limited.

Virginia (Ginny) Greene began at the University of Pennsylvania in 1963 as a graduate student, receiving her M.A. in anthropology in 1968. She was active in the field with the Tikal Project between 1964 to 1968 doing illustration work, repairs to objects, some excavation and recording of burials. In 1971, she graduated from the conservator training program at the Institute of Archaeology in London and came back to the Penn Museum to run its Conservation Lab, which she did until 2008, when she retired as Senior Conservator.
