The earliest extant cultural remains in the southern lowlands are the Xe-Real ceramic complexes (Altar de Sacrificios and Seibal) confined to riverine settings of the southern portion of the area. As Willey, Culbert, and Adams have already noted, these early complexes are "diverse, apparently highly regional, and of uncertain time depth" (1967:293); although Xe-Real ceramics, on the basis of modal similarities, show possible ties to the Chiapas Grijalva Valley (Dili-Escalera phases), the Guatemalan Pacific Coast (Conchas phase), and the Gulf Coast Olmec region of Veracruz (La Venta and Tres Zapotes complexes) (Willey 1970:355). R. E. W. Adams feels that the most likely source for Xe-Real peoples is the adjacent lowlands of Tabasco and Veracruz (1969:21, 1971:154). On ...

Au centre de l'acropole maya du Classique recent, une sepulture datant du Classique ancien, la Margarita Tomb, a ete mise au jour. Elle contenait les ossements d'une femme qui semble avoir ete l'epouse du fondateur de la dynastie, K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'. Le principal sujet de cette etude est le materiel funeraire decouvert dans ce complexe funeraire. Alors que la chambre inferieure renfermait le corps de la defunte, la chambre superieure a revele divers objets : vaisselle en ceramique, parures de jade, recipients perissables peints. Parmi ces derniers, un couvercle de panier stuque peint et des miroirs decores ont retenu l'attention des AA. De meme des aiguilles en os confirment le statut de la femme vetue comme la deesse de la lune.
