Kulubá Archaeological Project 2001 Field Season

Conclusions

As this report is primarily concerned with presenting the raw data that the Kulubá Archaeological Project acquired, conclusions presented here should be considered preliminary. Perhaps the biggest surprise in terms of field conditions was the dearth of surface artifacts. This meant that establishing a ceramic chronology for the sites rather difficult. It also rendered many of the ideas on how portable artifacts might pattern in different scenarios of Chichén presence in the area moot. The lack of evidence means these arguments must be temporarily shelved. Thus our analyses and interpretations are based on the surface mapping we successfully carried out. Since the principal architectural groups of Kulubá have been mapped and published (Barrera Rubio et al. 2001), comparisons between this site and the ones we mapped are based mostly on attributes of civic centers.
