Archaeology in South Central Michoacán México, Ongoing Studies
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Archaeology in South Central Michoacán México, Ongoing Studies," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
In the last six years there is a new effort to understand the archeology of the South Central Michoacan region. This particular area has only been studied by a very few archeological projects that focus in specific zones. In spite of this, the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia set up a large regional project that covers a portion of the Balsas River Basin in the state of Michoacan and in which a large number of students from different Mexican and American universities have participated along with a group of archeologists and researchers form diverse specialties. In this poster session we will present on the ongoing studies using a multidisciplinary approach.
