Architectural Conservation at Cuetlajuchitlán, an Archaeological Site in Northern Guerrero, Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

One of the most successful ways in which we adapt to the environment is through the creation of architecture. This is the reflection of our aspirations and our achievements as a species; it is in architecture where we capture part of our cultural identity. In this sense, and as part of cultural identity, architecture can help us to observe and analyze the different cultural patterns that define and characterize the different groups that created it. Architecture has become one of the material elements we have to understand and analyze the communities that preceded us. What makes it vitally important to develop a good reading of both the elements it contains, as well as the spaces it delimits. During the works and conservation processes of the archaeological site of Cuetlajuchitlán, the maintenance and conservation of the architecture of the site are focused on guaranteeing the stability and continuity of each of the cultural attributes of the architecture of the site.
