Resumen: Desde el 2009, la universidad de Bonn efectúa trabajos arqueológicos en el sitio de uxul, una ciudad maya del clásico en el extremo sur del estado de campeche. el objetivo del proyecto es investigar la expansión y desintegración de los poderes hegemónicos en el área maya, con un enfoque en la zona central de las Tierras Bajas y específicamente en la estrecha relación de uxul con los gobernantes de la poderosa dinastía Kaan de calakmul. evidencia novedosa confirma las hipótesis de que Uxul estuvo bajo control de Calakmul en el siglo vII y de que su caída se puede relacionar directamente con las derrotas de los gobernantes Yukno'm Yich'aak K'ahk' y Yukno'm took' K'awiil a cargo de tikal en 695 y 736 d. c., respectivamente. cuando las autoridades centrales colapsaron en la segunda mitad del siglo vIII, la población de uxul ni siquiera fue capaz de mantener la infraestructura más importante para sobrevivir: aquella relacionada con el manejo del agua.PalabRas cl ave: uxul, calakmul, palacio real, manejo de agua, colapso. abstRact: since 2009, the university of Bonn is conducting archaeological investigations at uxul, a medium sized classic Maya city in the extreme south of the Mexican state of campeche. the project's research goal is to investigate the expansion and disintegration of hegemonic power in the Maya area, concentrating on the core area of the Maya lowlands and especially on uxul's close relation to the powerful Kaan dynasty at calakmul. New evidence strengthens the hypothesis that uxul was under the control of calakmul since the early 7 th century. also, our data suggest that the downfall and abandonment of uxul were closely related to the fateful defeats of calakmul's rulers Yukno'm Yich'aak K'ahk' and Yukno'm took' K'awiil at the hands of tikal in aD 695 and 736. When the central authority collapsed during the mid-8 th century, the shrinking population of uxul was not able to maintain the social cohesion to protect even the most vitally important of infrastructures: its water management system.
