| Sumario: | Diagnosing the conservation status of archaeological monuments is a fundamental task prior to undertaking any preservation action. This requires implementing appropriate and precise registration methods to identify the damage suffered by the monuments, as well as the deterioration factors that caused them. Technological advances in digital photogrammetry, with the possibility of creating three-dimensional models, have become an important tool to study the archaeological record. In this paper, we present the results of using digital photogrammetry as an auxiliary tool to diagnose the conservation status of the stone monuments from the archaeological site of Izapa. The site is a settlement of the first order in the Soconusco region (Chiapas, México) and has the largest sculptural record representative of the “Izapa style”. This sculptural style was an important piece in the development of the elites’ legitimation discourse from the Late Preclassic period (300 BC-250 A.D.) in southeastern Mesoamerica. |
