| Resumo: | The chemical characterization of the remains of mural painting conserved on the palace architecture in the Mayan city of La Blanca (Department of Petén, Guatemala) and the interpretation thereof, in light of current knowledge about the arts of this ancient American culture, constituted one of the lines of research promoted by the La Blanca Project since 2004. The importance of the data obtained during this time has led to the extension of this line of research, over the last year, to other settle¿ments in the Mayan lowlands in order to analyse the possible relations between the materials, techniques and painters working at these settlements. This study provides a fairly representative panorama of the materials used in mural painting by this millenary prehispanic civilization and ultimately enables a very precise comparison to be made between these works and those carried out in other cultures of the ancient world. |
