Ancient Village or Settlement in Chiapas.Opening in 2009, this is one of the first publicly accessible sites of the Zoque culture, contemporary with the Olmec and later, the Maya. Occupation was from 1400 BC to around 1400 AD. The city was at its height, especially in regards to the ruins now seen, at around 900 AD.
The remains of several stone buildings can be seen at the site. All have been determined to have been residences, potentially with a governmental role.
Note: Zoque Culture Archaeological Site Inaugurated.
