This papers seeks to demonstrate the tremendous importance of the usually omitted first page of the Dresden Codex for the ongoing process of deciphering Mayan script. As an example, one could quote the recently identified Mayan term denoting a loincloth (Span. braguero, taparrabo) in the almanac 1c, which may be found on the page in question. Furthermore, the author critically discusses all possible forms in which the word can have been written, as it still defies being deciphered completely.

Ththe Maya, Central America, water, water management, aguadas, chultunes, water lily, ancient civilisations e main task of this paper is to demonstrate how the ancient Maya solved the problem of collecting and storing water, which due to geological and hydrological conditions was in very short supply at a certain period. For this reason, the indigenous population developed a range of methods which enabled them to resolve the problem; for instance, they built reservoirs or utilised natural hollows to increase the capacity of water storage. This study aims to present their major hydrotechnological measures, which permitted normal functioning of a society in the very demanding climatic conditions.

In the paper, an attempt has been made to describe the cultural and linguistic contacts between the local Maya civilization and the Spanish conquistadores. The consequences of that contact for the local culture and Mayan-Spanish interrelationships have been discussed. The authors emphasize that as a result of this intensive and long-time contact, the Spanish culture has not been completely imposed on the Maya culture, nor has Spanish language completely subjugated the Mayan language.
