Edition Details: Article also in English. English title: [Portable Antiquities: Transportation, Ruins, and Communications in Nineteenth-Century Archeology]. Proceedings from the conference “Engineering and the Natural Sciences: Communication and transportation infrastructure in the history of the sciences in Ibero-America” held at the Universidade de La Plata, Argentina, on May 1-6, 2006.
The article addresses an issue in nineteenth-century archeology: the transformation of ancient American ruins into scientific evidence. It focuses specifically on the case of Palenque, a city discovered in the jungle in the late eighteenth century. The archeological exploration of this find, which occurred shortly after Central American and Mexican independence, entailed efforts to make these ruins portable. The article analyzes some of the means devised and used in their transportation.
