This study examines the intersection of political, cultural, and linguistic differences in the archaeological study of boundaries. The Late Postclassic and Early Colonial periods (a.d.1350–1525) in the Maya lowlands are known for political instability and the formulation of new identities, especially in the northern region of the Peten Lakes District (Guatemala) to the greater Rio Hondo drainage (Belize). This article approaches the theoretical formulations of archaeological borders from the perspective of lithic technology, focusing on small projectile points recovered from numerous sites in the subregion. Analysis of data suggests differences in resource acquisition, material preference, and production during a time of historically fluid interaction and occasional conflict in the Peten-Belize area. Such information adds to our understandings of political frontiers of Late Postclassic polities from a social and economic perspective that is often ignored.

多孔的边界：比较晚期后经典 - 早期殖民时期玛雅射弹技术在佩顿和伯利兹

本研究探讨了边界考古研究中政治、文化和语言差异的交叉点。后古典主义晚期和早期殖民时期（广告1350-1525）在玛雅低地以政治不稳定和新身份的形成而闻名，特别是在佩滕湖区（危地马拉）的北部地区到更大的里奥洪多河流域（伯利兹）。本文从岩石技术的角度探讨考古边界的理论表述，重点关注从该次区域众多遗址中发现的小型弹丸点。数据分析表明，在 Peten-Belize 地区历史上不断变化的互动和偶尔的冲突期间，资源获取、材料偏好和生产存在差异。这些信息增加了我们从经常被忽视的社会和经济角度对晚期后古典政治的政治前沿的理解。
