Summary

Data are presented from archaeological excavations conducted by the Institute de Antropología e Historia (IDEAH) in the Mundo Perdido architectural complex, Tikal, Guatemala, from 1979 to 1984. After a brief summary of the data pertaining to the Middle Preclassic, Late Preclassic, and Early Classic periods, new results are presented from investigations of the Late Classic occupation of this group. Many marked social changes at Tikal are revealed through the Mundo Perdido data within a cultural context that emphasizes remarkable continuity.

Resumen

Como parte integral del área central de Tikal se encuentra un amplio conjunto arquitectónico conocido como Mundo Perdido. Entre 1979 y 1984 se llevaron a cabo trabajos de exploración arqueológica en las estructuras que le conforman, las cuales son un claro indicio de que se trató del Complejo de Conmemoración Astronómica o de Ritual Público de Tikal, en donde se condujeron actividades de conducción ritual, calendárica y, en algunos momentos, también politica. Su largo proceso evolutivo dio inicio desde el preclásico medio y continuó en forma ininterumpida hasta el clásico terminal. Este largo espectro cronológico, aunado a la importancia que este conjunto tuvo en la estructura política de Tikal, permite observar una parte de la historia del sitio a través de 1500 años. Se obtuvo una serie de elementos que permiten referir procesos históricos, preferencias cerámicas en la tradición funeraria, estilos arquitectónicos particulars y otros desarrollos, con lo cual se trata de ampliar el criterio con el cuai se ha planteado por lo general el panorama de Tikal en las tierras bajas centrales.
