  1. Abstract Even though lithics in the Maya region have traditionally been relegated to appendices and tool-type lists, much has been done to move beyond this descriptive approach in the last decade. In this article we highlight general themes of lithic studies in the Maya region since 2011, including economic production and exchange, the role of lithics in ritual practice, and the use of previously understudied raw materials and lithic forms, such as ground stone. Employing a temporal scope that encompasses the Maya and their preceramic predecessors, we explore gendered patterns of research within lithic studies from a feminist perspective and discuss the impacts that gender disparities have on academic thought.

    We begin the special issue with an Editorial that focuses on the origin of the workshop and our Stone Stories. Each scholar conveyed at the workshop a personal story that epitomized their relationship with stone. Each story is a unique journey demonstrating how we listened and learned from childhood experiences, elders, and Indigenous communities. Our paths demonstrate how scholars can learn to put aside their Western perceptions and reconceive the world through other ontologies.
