The present research aims to investigate the iconography and trajectories of the cylindrical tripod vessels recovered by the excavations of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, during the 1930s and 1940s, in Kaminaljuyu, Guatemala. In the case of the trajectories we seek to restore, as far as possible, the multiple material networks and use of these ceramics: its manufacture, ritual and funerary applications, reintroduction in society and subsequent musealization. In the same way, we seek to point out the motifs and themes present in the iconography of the vessels, in order to infer their symbolic meaning for the ancient elites of the site. To trace the course of these vessels, we applied theories and methods linked to materiality, especially a current that seeks to observe the circulation of objects through a biographical bias or “social life of things”; even so, we combine this method with the traditional iconographic analysis for the symbolic identification of the scenes painted in the vessels. In addition, a corpus of cylindrical tripods was produced, aiming beyond its organization, to provide a research tool for future researchers. With this we hope to shed new light on the use of themes and styles in the painted ceramics of the Esperanza phase in Kaminaljuyu.
