Colony Artifacts Rediscovered: INAH’s Retrieval Efforts in Section 2 of the Mayan Train
the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has recovered objects from the Colony in section 2 of the Mayan Train. Specifically, 281 human burials have been rescued, many of them with associated offerings, and 165 natural features. However, it is not clear from the article what these objects are or what they consist of. Section 2 of the Mayan Train runs from Escárcega to CalkinĂ, in the state of Campeche, and already registers 156 kilometers of finished track. It is not clear from the available search results whether the objects recovered by INAH will be displayed in a museum or what their fate will be.
The process for analyzing and preserving the artifacts recovered from the Mayan Train is not entirely clear from the available search results. However, according to an article, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has promised to protect and preserve the archaeological treasures found on the Mayan Train route. The article also mentions that there are 380 complete vessels in the process of analysis and restoration. Another articlereports that archaeologists have discovered hundreds of Mayan artifacts, including ceramic vessels and burial sites, along the route of the train. It is not clear from the article what the process for analyzing and preserving these artifacts is. However, the article mentions that the discovery of these artifacts is significant and expands knowledge about daily life, trade, and cultural exchange relations that existed centuries ago in the Mayan area. It is possible that INAH is responsible for analyzing and preserving the artifacts, as they are the main institution in charge of protecting and preserving Mexico’s cultural heritage.
