Description

La cité Maya de Naachtun, au Guatemala, fut, à la période Classique (150-950 apr. J.-C.), une capitale politique et économique de premier ordre, dotée d’une architecture monumentale et publique majestueuse et siège d’une puissante dynastie. C’est au cours du Classique ancien (150-550 apr. J.-C.) que cette monumentalité a trouvé son apogée, avec la construction de la majorité des pyramides les plus volumineuses du site, de nombreuses plates-formes, de chaussées, d’un terrain de jeu de balle, de temples. Pourtant, on sait que dans les Basses Terres centrales Mayas, c’est au Classique récent (550-830 apr. J.-C.) que la population était, de loin, la plus nombreuse. Un paradoxe semble donc se dessiner : l’investissement massif dans l’architecture monumentale fut consenti par une population relativement bien plus réduite que ce qu’elle deviendrait au cours des siècles suivants. Quelles furent les implications de ces programmes architecturaux en termes de mobilisation de la main-d’œuvre au sein de la population ? Comment l’investissement dans l’architecture s’articule-t-il avec la démographie urbaine ? La présence d’une population nombreuse est-elle une condition, un facteur, ou une conséquence de la construction monumentale ? Pour répondre à ces questions, cet ouvrage s’attache à deux défis méthodologiques majeurs : celui de l’estimation de la population du site, pour une période dont les vestiges résidentiels sont majoritairement invisibles et inaccessibles, et celui de la quantification (en jours-personnes de travail) du coût énergétique d’une centaine d’épisodes de construction monumentale. En croisant ces données, il apparaît que les premiers très grands chantiers correspondant à la « création d’un lieu » ont demandé la mobilisation d’une main-d’œuvre assez largement supérieure à la population demeurant sur place au cours du premier siècle de la cité. C’est donc probablement la monumentalité de la capitale nouvellement créée, avec ce que cela implique d’interactions et d’opportunités sociales et économiques, qui a attiré et surtout fixé la population autour de la cité au cours du Classique ancien. Une fois cette étape de fondation monumentale passée, la population sur place était amplement suffisante pour poursuivre les projets architecturaux. , The Maya city of Naachtun in Guatemala was a major political and economic capital during the Classic period (150–950 CE), known for its grand public architecture and powerful dynasty. Its architectural peak occurred in the Early Classic (150–550 CE), with the construction of large pyramids, platforms, roads, temples, and a ball court. Yet paradoxically, the region’s population was much larger in the Late Classic (550–830 CE). This raises questions about how such monumental projects were achieved by a relatively small population and how architecture relates to urban demographics. This study tackles two key challenges: estimating population size despite limited residential remains, and calculating the labour cost (in person-days) of over 100 construction episodes. The findings suggest that early monumental projects required more labour than the local population could provide, implying that the city’s grandeur attracted and anchored future inhabitants. Once established, the growing population could sustain further architectural development.
