During the construction of Section 7 of the Tren Maya, three monuments forming an archaeological site similar to a citadel were discovered and relocated. This site dates back to between 300 and 600 AD. The rescue effort, led by Dr. Manuel E. Pérez Rivas, involved a multidisciplinary team and INAH. The sites, featuring stone walls and burials, revealed cultural and architectural practices of the time. The dismantling and relocation process, which began in June 2023, aims to preserve the historical memory of Maya culture for future generations.
The findings from the Tren Maya Archaeological Salvage Project vary in size and shape. In addition to structures, some discoveries consist only of objects. However, these objects provide us with important information to expand our knowledge of Maya culture. Such is the case of the discoveries made in Section 6, Front 5 of the Tren Maya. Dr. Manuel Eduardo Pérez Rivas team was deployed near the communities of Chacchoben and Limones, Quintana Roo, to carry out the necessary excavations and investigations related to the findings.
