Almacenamiento prehispánico de una aldea maya: análisis de material cerámico procedente de Joya de Cerén, El Salvador

A Mayan village buried by volcanic ash around 650 A.D. at Joya de Cerén, El Salvador, reveals new insights into prehispanic storage and supply systems. Analysis of ceramic materials suggests sophisticated organizational strategies for agricultural production, challenging previous assumptions about the capabilities of indigenous communities in the region. The study, conducted on UNESCO World Heritage Site remains, provides a closer look at daily life, social structures, and religious practices through material culture. By examining pottery linked to storage and resource management, researchers propose new paradigms for understanding human activities and societal organization among the Maya and other indigenous peoples of El Salvador.
