Ancient Village in Oaxaca, Mexico.This site predates Classical Period (500BCE - 700CE) Mixteca Culture. It was settled as early as 1000 BCE and abandoned by 300 BCE. Grave goods and housing patterns indicate that at its height the village may have been a political center.
Digs and surveys carried out by Andrew Balkansky and other researchers from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale) have been funded by the National Science Foundation and National Geographic. These excavations have sought to determine the origins of the Classical Mixteca civilization, with its social hierarchy.
Note: Earliest Mixtec Cremations found - Origins of Funeral Traditions for the Elite that carried on to the Aztecs.
