| Sumario: | At around the Terminal Classic (550-600/650 AD), many man-made islands were constructed at the lakeshore of the Chignahuapan Marsh, Upper Lerma Basin, located in the present town named Santa Cruz Atizapan, state of México. The construction of these small islands reached to its apogee during the subsequent Epi-Classic Period (700-900 AD). The island inhabitants developed a complex mode of life based on a tight relationship with their lacustrian surroundings. In effect, the life of these islanders was pending to a fragile and delicate equilibrium and positive interaction with the lacustrain conditions, which were necessary to their survival as human group. Recent archaeological explorations conducted on one of these islands of the site unearthed many important data that revealed the core aspects of this particular life mode, in which aquatic and lacustrian rituals had an undeniable importance. One of the evidences referring to this is a burial of a young woman excavated in the year 2000 who, apparently, died during the childbirth. This article concerns with the above mentioned burial which presents unique characteristics of nearly 60 burials excavated in this artificial island, as well as strong implication of the aquatic rituals. |
