Résumé
'The archaeological works in the Sacred Enclosure of Mexico Tenochtitlan have allowed to recover a large number of lapidary objects deposited in more than two hundred offerings, most exhumed from 1978 with the Project Templo Mayor. These materials have allowed to appreciate a great diversity of geographical and cultural origins, even from beyond the imperial confines, as well as their division into most of the main Mesoamerican styles, which were deposited as relics or precious goods for their exotic, scarce, distant or ancient character. Although there is research that addresses some of these objects, this work shows together the most recent studies that have been carried out in the collection. Thus, in this book seven works are compiled that deal with different aspects of the lapidary of the Templo Mayor through new perspectives from style and archaeometry, which offer unpublished information on the origin and elaboration of the pieces analyzed, but also open new questions about their obtaining, circulation, distribution, and consumption. Various topics are addressed such as the characterization of the constituent materials, the identification of manufacturing techniques, the recording of processing sequences through images by reflectance transformation, cultural preferences for certain raw materials, the measurement of facial proportions to classify masks and figurines through geometric morphometry, the presence of new relics, materials and styles in the collection, as well as some of the probable routes of obtaining and the deposits of origin of certain rocks and minerals.'
