Mexico - Tecoaque

According to several archeological studies, at present the site is know as Tecoaque; exploration carried out in that zone has provided detailed information on some specific areas. The settlement is defined by a series of topographical levels that were overcome building big platforms; the ceremonial center was built on three of them, and others that cover 30 hectares were used for housing. Separated from the religious area by walls, the housing area consists of a group of chambers isolated by patios and joined by narrow corridors that measure 1,900 square meters. To the east of this area is the most important building complex distributed around big plazas that covers a rectangular area of approximately 2,800 meters and which constitutes the focal point of the area. Built over the remains of the most ancient constructions that correspond to the Classic Period, about 1400 A.C., the ceremonial center shows on part of its structures the use of some architectonical details from such period and it is designed as a series of buildings with different architectonical characteristics
