Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Teotihuacan Entrada of 378 CE is one of the most archaeologically rich events in the Maya Lowlands. Systematic examination enables archaeologists to measure the resulting impact of Teotihuacan's presence in the Maya area. Recent excavations at the site of La Sufricaya in Petén, Guatemala, provide fresh evidence to support Teotihuacan's influence in the lithic record. The site exhibits Teotihuacan influences in architecture, ceramics, lithics, murals, graffiti, and Pachuca obsidian. Projectile points recovered from excavations in Structure 51 at La Sufricaya, of Teotihuacan style but made from Maya stone, offer fresh insight into how Teotihuacan presence was felt by, and the extent that it was adopted by, the people of La Sufricaya.
