Abstract

In this paper we summarize more than a decade of interdisciplinary work at Calakmul, including (1) the mapping project, which has covered more than 30 km2; (2) the excavation project, which has uncovered major structures and tombs in the center of the city; (3) the epigraphic project, whose goal is to study the hieroglyphic texts and relate them to the archaeological evidence; (4) the analysis of the architecture, ceramics, and chipped stone to define sacred and secular activity areas and chronological stages; and (5) a focus on the ecology, hydrology, and paleoclimatology of Calakmul and its environs with the aim of understanding more fully its periods of development and decline.

En este articulo resumimos más de una década de trabajo interdisciplinario en Calakmul que incluye (1) nuestro proyecto de mapeo de 30 km2 del sitio para definir su patrón de asentamiento; (2) el proyecto de excavación que ha revelado algunas de las estructuras más grandes de Calakmul como también varias tumbas en el centro de la ciudad; (3) el proyecto epigráfico cuya meta es estudiar los textos jeroglíficos y relacionarlos con datos arqueológicos, (4) el análisis de la arquitectura, cerámica, y litica para definir áreas de actividades seculares y sagradas, y etapas cronológicas y (5) estudios sobre ecología, hidrología y paleoclimatología de Calakmul y sus alrededores para entender mejor sus períodos de desarrollo y declinación.
