| description | This article continues the narrative of the experiences of the businessmen-academics and collectors connected to Harvard University –the so-called Bostonians– in the archaeological sites of Yucatán, which were explored towards the end of the 1880s by Edward H. Thompson under their patronage, including his appointment as the U.S. consul in Mérida – as a form of protection – on their recommendation. This article reconstructs the loss of control of the strategic consulate by the Bostonians between 1893 and 1897. This narrative covers the occupation and the beginning of the looting of Chichen Itza, as well as the pseudo-scientific narrative the excavation provokes. It also analyzes the networks of alliances and rivalries resulting from the arrival of other U.S. archaeologists and archaeological institutions. It concludes with the paths Thompson pursued to undertake the adventure of his lifetime: the dredging of Chichen Itza’s Sacred Cenote. |

Este artículo continúa la narrativa sobre la experiencia de los empresarios-académicos y coleccionistas ligados a la Universidad de Harvard, los Bostonians, en las zonas arqueológicas de Yucatán, exploradas bajo su patrocinio desde finales de la década de 1880 por Edward H. Thompson, a quien protegieron con el nombramiento de cónsul de Estados Unidos en Mérida. El texto reconstruye la pérdida de control del estratégico consulado por parte de los Bostonians en 1893 y su recuperación en 1897. Acompaña la ocupación e inicio del despojo de Chichén Itzá y el imaginario pseudocientífico que provoca, y analiza las redes de alianzas/rivalidades arqueológicas que se establecen con la llegada de otros personajes e instituciones estadounidenses de investigación arqueológica. Estudia, por fin, los caminos que Thompson diseñó para viabilizar la aventura de su vida: el dragado del Cenote Sagrado de Chichen Itza.
