El estilo Río Bec visto desde Dzibanché y Kohunlich

Abstract

Recent findings (2009) at Dzibanché throw new light on the relationship of this site with nearby Kohunlich as well as between the latter and the Río Bec region. A new hypothesis is advanced to explain the penetration of the Río Bec architectural style in a site as distant as Kohunlich, especially when considering the nearness of Dzibanché, a site which by its sheer size should be expected to be the central place of a large dominion. New ideas on the whereabouts of the Kan dynastic group in the Late Classic are put forward as well.
