Pyramid in Michoacan, Mexico.
A Yacata type pyramid, having a base with a rectangular form that combines semi circular elements. Four meters tall with a 20 by 14 meters rectangular base and 6 staggered tiers. Conservation state is good.

The monument could have been part of a Classic period (300-850 AD) ceremonial center, possibly influenced by Teotihuacan, according to archaeologists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).

Note: Pre-Hispanic Pyramid Found While Clearing for an Avocado Grove.

Pyramid found in a field in Michoacan is a Yacata by bat400 on Tuesday, 15 September 2009

Submitted by coldrum -

Looking for a good place to sow avocado, Jose Humberto Tellez and Apolinar Piceno Guillen found a pyramid covered with weed in a plot located in Ario de Rosales municipality, Michoacan. After removing part of the weed from the monument, they took photographs and notified Michoacan INAH Center. Archaeologist Roberto Gonzalez Zuñiga went
to Tipitarillo, observed the pictures and verified it is a Yacata, a base with a rectangular form that combines semi circular elements.
“By its construction and materials, the structure found is similar to those at Timbangato Archaeological Zone, near Patzcuaro, which is 9 meters high with a 35 meters base”. The Yacata has 2 constructive stages; the lowest is better preserved because, apparently, in a late stage the highest was removed to conduct agricultural work. “It
reached 25 meters long, 20 wide and 6 high”.
The archaeologist declared that there was record of the 12-15 hectares site since 2004, when municipal authorities covered the area to locate possible ecotourism potential areas.
