 Mascarita de ChetumalDe acuerdo con los especialistas, esta región perteneciente a las tierras bajas del mundo maya, estaba ya colonizada en el periodo pre-cerámico (Hacia 9000-1400 a.C.) Además de las grandes ciudades mayas conocidas - Kohunlich,
Chacchoben, Dzibanché y muchas más —, prácticamente en toda superficie ocupada del Quintana Roo actual, se han encontrado puntas de lanza, ornamentos y vasijas de barro, maderas talladas y
aun pequeñas máscaras de cobre, como la de la imagen, hallada entre Chetumal y Calderitas, y de las que únicamente se conocen dos piezas.English translation:
The Chetumal Mask According to specialists, this region belonged to the lowlands of the Mayan world and was already colonized in the pre-ceramic period (around 9000-1400 BCE). In the well known Mayan cities - Kohunlich, Chacchoben, Dzibanché and many more - and in practically all the occupied areas of the current Quintana Roo, have been found spearheads, ornaments and clay pots, carved wood and even small copper masks, like the one in the image, found between Chetumal and Calderitas,
