Non-destructive in situ spectroscopic analysis of greenstone objects from royal burial offerings of the Mayan site of Palenque, Mexico

One of the most important Mayan cities of the Classic period (A.D. 200-900) of Mesoamerica is Palenque, in Chiapas. The Mayan civilization attributed great importance to greenstone minerals, in particular jadeite. This study covers the analysis of greenstones found in royal tombs of several temples corresponding to the Classic period: the Temple of the Skull, Temple of the Cross and Temples XVIII and XVIII-A. The aim of this research is to determine the use of greenstone minerals and the raw materials' sources as a first step in understanding the development of Palenque and its relationships to other sites in the Maya region. Here, we present a non-destructive in situ study of lithic objects carried out by means of a several spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and color measurements, at the Palenque site museum. FTIR and Raman allowed for the identification of minerals including jadeite, omphacite, amazonite, albite, muscovite and green quartz. Moreover, XRF was effective for in situ analysis of the elemental composition of the artifacts. This information was essential for sourcing the raw materials, in particular, jadeite. It was possible to infer the exploitation of an unknown source of jadeite for the earlier burial (A.D. 250-450). During this period the exploitation of the Verapaz and Motagua jadeite deposits also began. These sources were the primary deposits used for the manufacture of the artifacts studied from the period of A.D. 600-850. Also, a greater diversity of minerals is observed during the zenith of Palenque during this period, corresponding to the reign of Pakal. Although, between burials, the color of the artifacts is diverse, the color measurements indicated similarity in color among artifacts within individual burials.

“…Por otra parte, también se ha reportado la presencia de compuestos de manganeso asociados a pigmentos negros; por ejemplo, CaMnO 3 en cerámicas Portezuelo de ca. 500-1000 DC (Cremonte et al 2003); pirolusita (MnO 2 ) y psilomelano [(Ba,Mn) (Centeno et al 2012). En las muestras que nos ocupan no se detectaron reflexiones características de pirolusita (PDF#00-024-0735), psilomelano (PDF#00-006-0606) ni CaMnO 3 (PDF#00-003-0830), ni las bandas correspondientes en espectroscopia Raman.…”

“…En cuanto al manganeso, encontramos que este puede aparecer en distintos minerales: jacobsita (MnFe 2 O 4 ) cuando fue sometido a temperaturas del orden de 900-1000°C (Centeno et al 2012 (Schweizer & Rinuy 1982) o pirolusita (MnO 2 ), indicando que no hubo proceso térmico alguno (De la Fuente & Martínez 2008).…”

Recibido: marzo de 2012. Aceptado: mayo de 2013.En las piezas cerámicas Negro sobre Rojo de la Quebrada de Humahuaca pueden observarse atributos tecnológicos que aportan información sobre su variabilidad local y cronológica. En este trabajo se realiza el análisis de pigmentos sobre muestras cerámicas procedentes de dicha región, mediante diversas técnicas arqueométricas. Algunas de uso ya común, como la microscopia óptica y la difracción de rayos X, y otras de más reciente aplicación, como la espectroscopia Raman y la microscopia electrónica de barrido con espectroscopia de energía dispersiva. La aplicación combinada de diversas técnicas y la discusión del caso con los distintos especialistas permitió establecer interpretaciones significativas a partir de los resultados obtenidos.
