Well, that dispenses with the notion that the Mayans did not have women.

These female scientists sound pretty desperate to prove this person on the stela is a female.
What if it proves to be a male cross-dresser?
How about it's a wanted poster?
< /sarcasm>
To: blam
Well, I guess they might know what they're talking about, but I don't see what makes this a picture of a woman.

"The other fascinating aspect of the image, in my opinion, is its formal representation, or style. The fact that the body of the figure is completely absent and attention is focused on the head and headdress alone is very interesting and unusual." Are they just making this stuff up as they go along?

I'll test one photo to link. Notice how the image just leaps out at you.

A close up photo. Notice how the image just leaps out at you. 
Drawing of Stela 26. I think the image is open to interpretation

Although I must agree with you. Reading about and studying indigenous cultures in the Americas for decades, due to their stylistic idiosyncracies it's impossible to determine whether depicted figures are male, female or totally imaginary.
I assume this femen... er this scientist will eventually see fit to give us a complete, detailed version of her reasoning...

Excellent picture! I like the little smiley face: didn't expect to see one on a Mayan petroglyph. :0)
To: Zuben Elgenubi
The stones to the left and right of the center stone are amazingly lifelike.
If the Spanish hadn't burnt their libraries we could just read the darn things. I mean, their astronomical calender was much more accurate than any European calender
I like the smiley face potatie in the car on her head.
It looks like the baby of one of my frends. She's cute.
To: Publius6961
If you look close at the area to the right of the 'female', it appears there's a guy smelling his fingers, or looking at something in the palm of his hand. Any shrinks out there who care to interpret my interpretation?
