Estudio arqueométrico de figurillas cerámicas mayas de Calakmul (Campeche, México)

Abstract

[ES] En este trabajo se presentan y discuten los resultados de la caracterización arqueométrica realizada sobre un conjunto representativo de figurillas cerámicas del Clásico Tardío procedentes de las excavaciones arqueológicas efectuadas en la ciudad maya de Calakmul (Campeche, México). Los objetivos principales han sido recabar información sobre la tecnología de manufactura de estas cerámicas y evaluar su posible procedencia. La caracterización arqueométrica se ha llevado a cabo mediante las siguientes técnicas complementarias: microscopía óptica convencional (MO), difracción de rayos X (DRX) de polvo, espectroscopía infrarroja por Transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) y fluorescencia de rayos X (FRX). Con el fin de aislar grupos cerámicos con un perfil químico similar, los datos obtenidos con FRX se han analizado también con técnicas exploratorias de análisis estadístico multivariante. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de las figurillas se manufacturaron localmente con una materia prima arcillosa rica en carbonato de calcio (calcita). También se ha identificado un pequeño grupo de cerámicas rico en carbonatos mixtos de calcio y magnesio (dolomita), que podría ser foráneo o procedente de otra zona de la región de Calakmul. Estos datos sugieren que la producción de figurillas cerámicas pudo estar asociada a talleres ligados al monopolio sobre la producción cerámica que el poder centralizado de la ciudad de Calakmul ejerció en este período.

[EN] The results derived from an archaeometric characterization study undertaken on a representative ensemble of Late Classic ceramic figurines coming from the archaeological field work carried out in the Mayan town of Calakmul (Campeche, México) are reported and discussed in this paper. The main goals of the research were to gather some information on the technology of manufacture of these ceramics and provide some insights into their probable provenance. The archaeometric characterization was accomplished through the following complementary techniques: conventional optical microscopy (OM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). In order to isolate ceramic groups with a similar chemical profile, XRF data were also analyzed by exploratory multivariate statistical techniques. The resulting data indicate that most of the figurines were locally manufactured from a calcium carbonate (calcite)-rich clay raw material. A small ceramic group containing mixed calcium and magnesium carbonates (dolomite), which could be foreign or from other area of the Calakmul region, was also identified. These data suggest that the production of ceramic figurines could be associated to workshops linked to the monopoly on ceramic production performed by the centralized power of the town of Calakmul during this period.
