The Terminal Classic period (ca. AD 800–1000) in the Southern Maya Lowlands witnessed a precipitous decline in the erection of carved stone monuments, a decline that corresponds to shifts in political ideologies and the disappearance of many prominent royal dynasties. Although Southern Lowland sites are often considered peripheral to the events and innovations occurring elsewhere in Mesoamerica during this time, a recently discovered stela, Stela 29, at the site of Ucanal in Peten, Guatemala, underscores the active role of the site in broader political movements in the ninth century. Our iconographic, textual, and stylistic analysis of this stela, in concert with other Terminal Classic monuments from the site, reveals a vernacular cosmopolitan aesthetic whereby local Classic Maya styles were infused with images and elements that referenced connections with peoples from northern Yucatan, the Gulf Coast, and Central Mexico.

南玛雅低地的终端经典时期（约公元 800-1000 年）见证了石刻纪念碑的竖立急剧下降，这种下降与政治意识形态的转变和许多著名皇室王朝的消失相对应。尽管南部低地遗址通常被认为是在此期间发生在中美洲其他地方的事件和创新的外围，但最近在危地马拉佩滕的 Ucanal 遗址发现的石碑 Stela 29 强调了该遗址在更广泛的政治运动中的积极作用在九世纪。我们对这块石碑的图像、文字和风格分析，与该站点的其他终端经典纪念碑相结合，
