“Empowering Women in Archaeology: Unveiling Secrets at Uxmal Site”

A construction worker with an orange helmet and reflective vest is carefully measuring and marking a wooden surface outdoors, surrounded by rocks and vegetation in the background.

The Archaeological Zone Improvement Program (Promeza), implemented by Mexico's Ministry of Culture and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), has been praised for fostering community involvement in archaeological efforts. This is particularly true for women, who have been actively participating in tasks at the Uxmal Archaeological Zone, part of the Maya Train's Section 3.

Promeza has been involved in eight archaeological areas along this section of the Maya Train: Oxkintok, Uxmal, Xlapak, Kabah, Labná, Sayil, Chacmultún, and Dzibilchaltún. These sites form part of the Puuc route.

Significant progress has been made in terms of infrastructure and signage at these sites, with several projects expected to be completed on schedule. Women's contributions have been particularly notable at Uxmal, where their work has played a key role in the restoration of architectural spaces and the exploration of the area's history.
