Resumen

Las pinturas del Códice de Huexotzinco de 1531 se sometieron a un estudio técnico para arrojar luz sobre la fabricación y el uso de sus materiales por parte de artistas indígenas. Las técnicas no invasivas de examen macroscópico e imágenes multimodales permitieron una investigación profunda de los soportes de papel y las pinturas de los ocho cuadros del Códice y también mostraron las metodologías pictóricas y las preferencias materiales de los escribanos huexotzincas. El estudio también proporcionó información sobre la posible estandarización de los materiales de los artistas utilizados en la producción de códices de Mesoamérica.
