The funerary and architectural history of an ancient Maya residential group: Group 5N6, Naachtun, Guatemala
The majority of ancient Maya funerary contexts, at least those reported by archaeology, are residential in nature. This cultural specificity, while it renders the excavation process more complex, establishes a link between the grave and the surrounding buildings. In turn, this association allows for...

En su mayoría, los contextos funerarios descubiertos en el área maya proceden de espacios residenciales. Esta característica cultural, muy específica, complica el proceso de excavación. Pero este aspecto lleva a establecer también un vínculo entre los entierros y la arquitectura, una asociación que permite llegar a una resolución cronológica muy fina para reconstituir la historia de estas residencias y de sus habitantes. En Naachtun (Petén, Guatemala), excavaciones intensivas en el grupo residencial 5N6 durante tres temporadas de campo proporcionaron datos importantes en cuanto a la formación y evolución de un espacio residencial maya antiguo vinculado con las elites locales. Los resultados cuestionan la manera de pensar y de planificar su espacio cotidiano por los habitantes e ilustran la existencia de secuencias funerarias distintas entre los antiguos mayas. La majorité des contextes funéraires mayas, du moins ceux identifiés par l’archéologie, proviennent d’espaces résidentiels. Cette spécificité culturelle, tout en compliquant le processus de fouille, établit un lien entre les tombes et les édifices environnants. Cette association permet d’atteindre une très haute résolution chronologique dans la reconstitution de l’histoire de ces résidences et de leurs habitants. À Naachtun (Petén, Guatemala), les fouilles menées dans l’unité résidentielle 5N6 durant trois campagnes successives ont livré des données importantes concernant la formation et l’évolution d’un groupe résidentiel maya associé à l’élite locale. Ces résultats interrogent la manière dont les habitants percevaient et planifiaient leur espace de vie, et mettent en évidence l’existence de plusieurs séquences funéraires chez les Mayas. |
