| Zusammenfassung: | The work carried out by the School of American Archaeology under the auspice of the United Fruit Company from 1910 to 1914 in the ancient city of Quiriguá, today world Heritage Site, implied a change of paradigm in architectural heritage preservation in the Maya Area. The development of a four-season funded by one of the most powerful companies and more politically influential at the moment, not only entailed the instauration of the first institutional archaeological Project in Guatemala but also it meant the catalyzer to set the first guidelines to preserve this architecture inherited from the ancient Maya. The present research delves into the historical, political and economic context when the agreement for this pioneer intervention was made and its repercussion in the history of Pre-Columbian architecture preservation from an exhaustive documental analysis in the institutional archives and the according emerging legislation. |
