El estilo Río Bec visto desde Dzibanché y Kohunlich

Abstract

Hallazgos recientes (2009) en Dzibanché arrojan nueva luz sobre la relación de este sitio con su vecino más cercano, Kohunlich, y la región Río Bec. Nuevas hipótesis permiten explicar la penetración del estilo arquitectónico Río Bec en un sitio tan distante como Kohunlich, especialmente si se considera la cercanía con Dzibanché, un sitio qué, por su tamaño, fué el sitio de gran dominio. Así mismo se proponen nuevas ideas sobre la dinastía Kan durante el Clásico tardío [Palabras claves: Dzibanché, Kohunlich, Río Bec, dinastía Kan.] Le style architectural Río Bec à Dzibanché et Kohunlich. Des découvertes récentes (2009) à Dzibanché jettent une lumière nouvelle sur les relations de ce site avec son voisin le plus proche, Kohunlich, ainsi qu'avec la région Río Bec. De nouvelles hypothèses permettent d'expliquer l'intrusion du style architectural Río Bec dans un site éloigné de cette zone comme Kohunlich, et cela en particulier compte tenu de sa proximité avec Dzibanché, un site qui, d'après sa taille, fut un centre dominant. Des idées nouvelles sont également formulées concernant la dynastie Kan au Classique récent [Mots-clés: Dzibanché, Kohunlich, Río Bec, dynastie Kan.] * Sandra Balanzario, investigadora adscrita al Centro INAH Quintana Roo [sbalanzario@ yahoo.com] ; Enrique Nalda, investigador adscrito a la Dirección de Estudios Arqueológicos (INAH), obra póstuma 2010 †.

Maya Lime Mortars—Relationship between Archaeomagnetic Dating, Manufacturing Technique, and Architectural Function—The Dzibanché Case

“…Later, around AD 600-700, a fourth building was built at the center. The absence of benches (banquetas) and domestic use artifacts seems to confirm that this complex had an administrative function [34,38,40]. The complex has many remains of plasters in internal walls (with a subtle pink color), doorposts, and, in the exterior, faҫades.…”

“…In the Late Classic there was a short period of political instability with clear signs of violence, followed by a peaceful split of the Kaan dynasty (7th century): a member of the family stayed in Dzibanché and the k'uhul ahau settled in Calakmul. Dzibanché maintained a prominent political position in the area until the 8th century, then the importance of the site was reduced: it was first transformed into a small settlement and then abandoned in the Late Pos tclassic [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The three Grupo Principal buildings studied for this project are: Pequeña Acrópolis, Plaza Pom, and Structure 2 "Templo de los Cormoranes" (Figure 1).…”

“…The exterior façades have two sets of plasters due to maintenance, and these plasters have an intense red color (Figure 2). decorated with stucco reliefs depicting people, animals , and glyphs, utilizing a wide range of red earth tones, green, and blue (from maya blue) [34,40] (Figure 2).…”

“…Broadly speaking, if the burst of non-royal, monumental-residence constructions over the Lowlands was initiated by AD 700-750, it may be correlated in time with the later weakening of k'uhul ajaw authority. As a case in point, research across many Río Bec residential groups of monumental residences has shown that local societies were irmly structured and prosperous throughout the Late-Terminal Classic, although with extremely weak kingship institutions (Arnauld et al 2014b; Fowler and Arnauld 2013; Arnauld and Nondédéo 2010; Nondédéo et al Nalda and Balanzario 2014). Effective political authority should be distinguished from apex positions in local or regional hierarchies.…”

Introduction

“…The Terminal Classic period saw a regional diffusion process of the Río Bec architectural style over the central lowlands, from Kohunlich in the east to El Tigre in the west, from Becan in the north to Naachtun in the south (Benavides Castillo 2007; Nalda and Balanzario 2007; Nondédéo 2003; Nondédéo et al 2011; Vargas Pacheco 2007). This late diffusion process should not be interpreted as reflecting a generalized dominance of Río Bec elites, but rather as the result of exogamic alliances among high-ranking houses in distant centers (Arnauld and Nondédéo 2010).…”
