dc.descriptionThe current project started in 2020 as part of a postdoctoral research at ArchAm (Archéologie des Amériques UMR8096-CNRS / Université Paris 1 - Panthéon-Sorbonne), funded by the CONACYT Postdoctoral Fellowships Abroad Program. The project is currently under the authorisation and logistical support of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia of Mexico and the Centro INAH Campeche. Financial support is provided by ArchAm and the Stresser-Péan Foundation. We would like to express our gratitude to the Secretaría Técnica de la Coordinación Nacional de Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural – INAH for allowing us to consult the reports in their custody and to Adriana Velázquez Morlet, Director of Centro INAH Campeche, for arranging the corresponding permissions and for her invaluable assistance. Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude to Verónica A. Vázquez López, Claudia García Solís and Luz Evelia Campaña Valenzuela for their assistance in providing information regarding certain details of Image No. 2 of Sub II C1. Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge Christophe Helmke, who provided us with invaluable material and bibliographical references for our research, and Arianna Campiani, who made a significant contribution to the 2024 field season. Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude to the editors of this special issue of IdeAs (Idées d'Amériques) for extending an invitation to us to participate and for providing encouragement to present the progress of our work. Additionally, we are indebted to the anonymous reviewers for their invaluable suggestions on how to enhance this work.
dc.description.abstractCet article présente une nouvelle analyse d'une image représentée dans l'une des deux grottes architecturales de la sous-structure II C à Calakmul, Campeche, Mexique. Cette analyse s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une étude plus vaste visant à mieux comprendre cette sous-structure. Jusqu'à présent, on supposait que la figure représentée sur l'image correspondait à un guerrier tenant une lance. Cependant, une nouvelle étude nous permet de proposer une interprétation alternative qui associe cet individu à un héros culturel des récits de création mayas, Juun Ajaw. Notre analyse commence par un examen iconographique détaillé, après quoi nous contextualisons l'image et tentons de relier la figure au cadre architectural et au programme sculptural de la Substructure II C.
