'The metallurgical work in Pre-Columbian America achieved a high degree of development. Even though in the Mesoamerican area the development of metallurgy started very late, during the post- Classic period (600 A.D.).

The objective of this presentation is to analyze the different metal traditions in the Maya area and Oaxaca.'
