Hence the need for hydraulic features that allow its control and use. Investigations at Kaminaljuyu through the years have brought to light these elements and their function relatedto weather habitational or public areas. Recent findings of channels at Mound C-IV-4 southwestern area have confirmed the water management importance at a place near the extinct Miraflores lake, expanding the already know knowledge on the subject and making an aportation on the role of it in the site history.

Estas están relacionadas con sitios satelitales, ubicados a una distancia de entre 2 a 10 km del núcleo de la ciudad. Las excavaciones en la temporada 2017 ayudaron a averiguar la existencia de estas estructuras y definir su cronología. La información obtenida nos lleva conocer mejor el desarrollo urbano, social y las relaciones políticas dentro del sistema de la ciudad-estado. Dentro del programa de investigación, destaca el hallazgo de un marcador fechado para el Clásico Temprano, de mucha importancia por su iconografía e inscripciones bien conservadas. Nos ayuda a entender aún mejor la secuencia dinástica y el ritualismo en la ciudad antigua de Uaxactun

Late Classic period evidence indicates that the site of Río Amarillo operated as an administrative center for the Copan polity with the likely objective of increased agricultural production for the burgeoning population in the Copan Pocket. In the Terminal Classic period, Río Amarillo shared the fate of Copan, with evidence indicating it was burned and sacked. However, unlike the Copan Pocket, many residential groups remained occupied during the Early Postclassic. Here we focus on Site 5. An unbroken occupation from the Late Classic through to the end of the Early Postclassic period, as this site provides a window into an existence without the requirements of tribute given to their western neighbor. We hypothesize that the smaller settlement si...
