%X cancu¨¦n archaeological site is relevant within the late classic maya context because of its geographical position on pasi¨®n river, between lowlands and highlands of guatemala, from where it controlled one of the greatest trade route between both areas. this has been evidenced by the excavation of a workshop where jade artifacts where produced, which is a unique discovery in maya lowlands. the analysis of ceramics in cancu¨¦n represents a double challenge: first, it may define cancu¨¦n's culturally, highlighting a mix of ceramic influences coming from different neighboring regions. a rapid presentation of the typology shows a quite complex panorama for exchange and local production of vessels. the second challenge is about establishing a fine chronology for the only 150 years of occupation. by confronting ceramic data with epigraphy and local political events, it has been possible to establish a detailed and complete chronology, one of the first in this frontier zone, between lowlands and highlands.
