Discussing Chichén Itzá. Is the word "en" missing? Even if that's the case, I'm still not certain what adjudicados means in this context. Thank you!

I think the sentence looks as though there are several words missing, otherwise it makes no sense. My suggestion is based on the assumption that the original should read: empiezan a ser adjudicados a momentos específicos. I hope this helps! :-)

Hi Patricia: on second thoughts I have some doubts as to whether the assigning/attributing refers to a past moment (when the paths were built), or to a present moment (they are starting the identification process now). Although my suggested translation could cover both, you might have to put in an appropriate time expression to make this clear. I hope the rest of your context can clarify the ambiguity! :-)

If it refers to the present, the original should probably read: empiezan a ser adjudicados en momentos específicos, as you suggested in your post. The wording is odd however one looks at it -:)

Note from asker:
| It certainly does! I have been tearing my hair, but your guess on this one (and your answer to my other question) at least let me down a sentence that makes sense. I guess I need to go back to the source and ask them to proofread! Have a nice weekend! |

Comment: "Thank you, M-Martin, for letting me know that I'm not crazy! Haven't quite decided how to resolve this--probably need to ask the author!"
