description: Los marcadores de cruz consisten en una cruz de madera sostenida por una mojonera de piedra y se asocian con evidencia material que indica diversas prácticas de veneración. Denotan fuentes de agua, cruceros de camino y las entradas de los pueblos rurales. En este artículo, examino cómo los marcadores de cruz contemporáneos en las áreas que rodean los pueblos de Ebtún, Cuncunul, Kaua, Tekom y Tixcacalcupul se relacionan con las contingencias históricas documentadas en los Títulos de Ebtún, un corpus de títulos primordiales en lengua maya. Las actividades conocidas como tzol pictun, en que se hace un recorrido por los marcadores del paisaje, son prácticas contemporáneas que han reproducido y renovada continuamente la autoridad indígena política y la memoria social desde el siglo XVI.
