Greetings to the Steemit community, in my participation today I will share with you:
The black stones located on the Guatemalan bank of the Usumacinta River, these stones were explored by many explorers and especially by the archaeologist Sylvanus Morley between 1931 - 1939 with the sponsorship of the University of Pennsylvania to present samples in the museum of this same which produced a good record of the monumental sculpture and the knowledge of the top of some temples.
Between 1931-1938 archeologist Tatiana Proskouriakoff was commissioned to illustrate all the stones that were in this place but was in the study of Stela 14 when he could decipher part of the complex culture, what this research led to Archaeologist to create and analyze their own methods to understand and study all this culture, which led her to conclude that they are increasing by 50-year scale between each of the rocks as a tribute to some high-ranking Maya character who was dying.
This great research project was suspended in 1939 due to the Second World War, and this place fell into total abandonment.
By the end of the 90s the research was reinitiated by archaeologists Héctor L. Escobedo and Stephen D. Houston, which divided the research into 5 stages and developed from 1997 to 2000 and 2004, which resulted in the occupation of the The site began in the Middle Preclassic Maya, around 600 BC and the founder population of Piedras Negras arrived from the center of Petén.
Years later, the Defensores de la Naturaleza Foundation sponsored some minor excavations, under the responsibility of archaeologist Luis Romero. Being these the last investigations carried out in the place.
