Overview
Paleoclimate studies suggest that droughts between ca. 800 and 1100 CE coincided with, and perhaps caused, the Classic Maya “collapse.” Oxygen isotope data from sediment cores recovered from Lake Punta Laguna reveal exceptionally dry periods during that interval. We present data from the archaeological site surrounding Lake Punta Laguna, which are critical for exploring the relation between paleoclimate and society in the Maya area. The site includes more than 200 mounds and was occupied continuously or recurrently from the Middle Preclassic (600 – 300 BCE) through the Postclassic period (1100/1200 – 1500/1550 CE). Rather than suggesting a correlation between drought and “collapse,” we argue that the persistence of ancient Maya peoples at Punta Laguna suggests societal resilience in the face of high rainfall variability.
Los estudios paleoclimáticos sugieren que las sequías entre 800 y 1100 d.C. coincidieron con, y tal vez ocasionaron, el “colapso del Clásico maya”. Isótopos de oxígeno de núcleos de sedimentos recuperados del Lago Punta Laguna revelan periodos de sequía extraordinarias entre ese periodo. Nosotros presentamos datos del sitio arqueológico alrededor del Lago Punta Laguna, los cual son esencial para explorar la relación entre el paleo clima y la sociedad en el área maya. El sitio incluye más de 200 montículos y fue ocupado continuamente o de forma recurrente desde el Preclásico Medio (600 – 300 a.C.) hasta el periodo Posclásico (1100/1200 – 1500/1550 d.C.). En lugar de sugerir una correlación entre sequías y el “colapso,” nosotros proponemos que la persistencia de los antiguos mayas de Punta Laguna sugiere resiliencia de la sociedad a pesar de la alta variedad de lluvia.
Paläoklimatische Studien deuten darauf hin, dass Dürreperioden zwischen ca. 800 und 1100 n. Chr. mit dem,, Zusammenbruch“ der Klassischen Maya zusammenfielen und diesen möglicherweise verursachten. Sauerstoff-Isotopen-Daten aus Sedimentkernen, die aus dem Punta-Laguna-See geborgen wurden, verweisen auf außergewöhnliche Trockenperioden während dieses Zeitraums. In diesem Beitrag werden Daten aus der archäologischen Stätte rund um den Punta-Laguna-See vorgestellt, die für die Erforschung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Paläoklima und Gesellschaft in der Maya-Region von entscheidender Bedeutung sind. Die Stätte umfasst mehr als 200 Siedlungshügel und war von der mittleren Präklassik (600 – 300 v. Chr.) bis zur Postklassik (1100/1200 – 1500/1550 n. Chr.) durchgehend oder wiederholt bewohnt. Anstatt einen Zusammenhang zwischen Dürre und „Zusammenbruch“ zu vermuten, argumentieren wir, dass das Fortbestehen der alten Maya in Punta Laguna auf die Widerstandsfähigkeit der Gesellschaft gegenüber starken Niederschlagsschwankungen hindeutet.
