Os sacrifícios infantis não eram infrequentes no mundo antigo. Entretanto, a problemática sacrificial tende a ser isolada na discussão acadêmica, o que representa um obstáculo para o desenvolvimento de investigações orientadas a uma arqueologia da infância na América do Sul. No presente trabalho aborda-se casos arqueológicos de sacrifícios infantia...
El objetivo de este artículo ha sido la revisita de esta rica epigrafía de Monte Cildá poniendo el foco en un tema difícil y controvertido como es la cuestión cronológica. Muchas de las inscripciones analizadas tienen la ventaja de situarse en una época en la que el florecimiento de ciertos talleres lapidarios coincidió con una tendencia, nunca gen...

... Such excavations consisted of an exploratory horizontal unit (EU A7-1) extending from the plaza level stela along the central axis of the eastern facade of the structure. These investigations revealed a penultimate structure below the terminal phase of construction consisting of three well-preserved steps, showing evidence of a complete stair, as well as a cache (Tilden et al. 2017). The documentation of the penultimate structure led researchers to question the temporal development of A7 in relation to other monumental buildings at Xunantunich. ...
... Additional excavations conducted in 2016 included a 2x2 m unit place around the associated stela in front of the building, though excavations did not yield any cultural material. Further details of the 2016 research at Structure A7 can be found in the 2016 BVAR progress reports (Tilden et al. 2017). In 2017, excavations (EU A7-3) identified a section of a defaced stair ( Figure 3) ascending the eastern face of the structure and terminating at 2.8 meters below datum A7-001(see Figure 4 for datum location). ...
... A unit at the summit of Structure A7, EU A7-2, was opened during the 2017 field season to conduct preliminary investigations of the remnants of Gann's 1920's explorations of the building. EU A7-2 measured 3 meters N/S by 3 meters E/W, having been expanded from the original dimensions (See Tilden et al. 2017) to encompass the geometric center of the structure. Excavation unit A7-4 was implemented as a solidary tunnel used to locate the northeast corner of the penultimate structure, allowing for a clearer picture of the longitudinal extent of the earlier construction phases of Structure A7. ...
