Scientists have successfully traced the mineral origins of sacred Maya Blue pigment found on Late Classic pottery from Buenavista del Cayo in Belize, revealing that the essential clay mineral traveled over 230 miles (370 km) from its source. The groundbreaking research, published in the journal Ancient Mesoamerica, demonstrates that the distinctive blue-green hue so revered by the ancient Maya required palygorskite clay specifically mined from Sacalum, Yucatan. This discovery not only illuminates ancient trade networks but also underscores the extraordinary lengths to which Maya artisans went to obtain materials for their most sacred ceremonial objects.
