Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 December 2017
Abstract
The last 20 years have seen a great increase in the awareness of and interest in ancient Maya graffiti. Such graffiti have recently been rediscovered at the site of Plan de Ayutla, in the Lacanjá river basin of Chiapas, and add to the known Maya corpus. The Plan de Ayutla graffiti exhibit a diversity similar to that found at other Maya sites, including production by specialists as well as non-specialists, and themes ranging from daily activities to ceremonial events.
En los últimos 20 años se ha incrementado el interés en los grafitos prehispánicos Mayas. Esta clase de manifestación recientemente redescubierta en el sitio de Plan de Ayutla en la cuenca del río Lacanjá, Chiapas, se ha incorporado al corpus ya existente. Los grafitos en Plan de Ayutla exhiben similitudes con aquellos hallados en otros sitios Mayas, donde se incluyen creaciones hechas tanto por especialistas como no especialistas, y cuyos temas varían de actividades diarias a eventos ceremoniales.
