La escena pintada en la piedra de cierre de bóveda de Sacnicte (Kutscher 1972: Lám.24), en la cual aparece un enano con joroba que amenaza con mano levantada al dignatario, se relaciona tal vez con esculturas de Santa Lucia Cotzumalhuapa, también de enanos amenazantes. Esos "hombrecitos" parecen jugar un papel importante en el culto de drogas alucinatorias. Otra piedra de cierre de bóveda, en Uxmal, lleva una fecha maya que corresponde a 906 D. C.; una muestra calada de una viga en el mismo edificio reveló, por el sistema radiocarbono, una fecha muy cercana: 885 D.C. ± 100 años.Downloads
