Resumen:
The investigation presented here is related to the discovery and
archaeomagnetic dating of lime kilns in the Maya area, Mexico. The
relevance of such dating is to locate architectural constructions and
elucidate the period of use by societies that are responsible for their
construction. We assume a prehispanic period for the kilns because of
their context within the excavation. The combination of dating methods
and archaeometric experiments allowed the identification of different
periods of use and, therefore, suggests the persistence of this
production technology beyond the prehispanic period. Dating work also
allows us to clarify the use of this technology and productive practices
in this cultural area.
