This is a model of a mayan home and some of the items that you may find there. The first and second pictures show two instruments that were handmade and played, and the hammock is a common sleeping item. Large families will have many hammocks strung up instead of regular beds. The sleeping frame with the small logs on it was orignally for the women, and the hammocks for the men but I don't know if that still applies today.

The traditional mayan house is in two parts, and alot of the houses here have two separate buildings, one area for the living quarters and another for the cooking. A fireharth is used most commonly for cooking. It is a u shaped, low stone enclosure with a grate on top and having a fire underneath the grate inside the u. In this picture there are two side by side right below the blackened part of the wall.
These are some of the original containers and cooking/preparation tools. The one orange bowl like container is an actual pumpkin shell. They remove the inside of the pumpkin, dry it and it is a very light but strong container. The bottle looking container is two parts of a gord like plant that is glued together with the sap from the Sapodilla tree. This container will keep water cool for hours and hours, we were told. The stone with the rock in it is what they used for grinding the corn into mesa to make tortillas.
