La recolocación de monumentos dentro del juego de pelota como mecanismo de activación ritual durante el periodo Clásico maya by Octavio Quetzalcóatl Esparza Olguín, Rogelio Valencia Rivera

“…In the case of Chactún, as well as in similar contexts at other sites such as Calakmul, we propose that this phenomenon had other connotative goals, that went from a practical use of the monuments as ballcourt markers, as they were placed in the corners and at the center of the court, to a ceremonial purpose where the power and prestige of the monuments were taken to be transferred to the newly constructed ballcourt, as part of an apotropaic activation ritual that enabled this constructed space for the practice of the very special ritual activities planned for it.…”
