From the analysis of the mural paintings at Cacaxtla, it was determined that the painters shared a system of measurement with the builders of this site and those of the Puuc area. In the Maya area, the basic unit was divided into subunits that measured its ninth and sixteenth parts but the division system found in Cacaxtla corroborates this information and shows that it derived from working in situ with a string that is folded in half or in thirds in a repetitive manner. Study of the composition of the paintings shows the use of a grid, a resource widely used in Mesoamerica. Furthermore, the use of units of measurement found in Teotihuacan and Nahua culture in combination with the zapal system open the discussion about measurement as a resource for creating meaning. This expression must be contextualized in the multicultural expressions found in the paintings and this period of political reconfiguration, the Epiclassic (a.d. 650–950).The systems used to measure distances, time, liquids, and weights come from concepts and knowledge developed over centuries. Progressively, these systems were incorporated into shared customary systems among specific populations, thus integrating a series of factors specific to the culture of the social group that generated them (Morley and Renfrew 2010; Renfrew and Morley 2010). Different features stand out in this collective social construction, mainly regarding what is measured (sometimes in reference to something physical and sometimes a concept), the type of reference measurements used (for example, with or without relation to the human body), the way of relating what is large with that which is small, and the way in which the measurement is applied to the object.

CACAXTLA 的测量：多元文化和象征性的融合

通过对卡卡斯特拉壁画的分析，确定画家与该遗址的建造者和普克地区的建造者共享了一个测量系统。在玛雅地区，基本单位被划分为测量其第九部分和第十六部分的子单位，但在卡卡斯特拉发现的划分系统证实了这一信息，并表明它是在原地使用一根折叠成两半或三分之一的绳子产生的。一种重复的方式。对绘画构图的研究表明，网格是一种在中美洲广泛使用的资源。此外，特奥蒂瓦坎和纳瓦文化中的计量单位与萨帕尔系统开启了关于测量作为创造意义的资源的讨论。这种表达必须在绘画中发现的多元文化表达和这一政治重组时期的背景下，Epiclassic（广告650–950）。用于测量距离、时间、液体和重量的系统来自几个世纪以来发展起来的概念和知识。逐渐地，这些系统被纳入特定人群共享的习惯系统，从而整合了一系列特定于产生它们的社会群体文化的因素（Morley 和 Renfrew 2010；Renfrew 和 Morley 2010）。在这种集体社会建构中，不同的特征很突出，主要是关于测量的内容（有时是指物理的，有时是概念）、使用的参考测量的类型（例如，与人体有或没有关系）、方式将大与小联系起来，以及测量应用于对象的方式。
