Tzintzuntzan, Capital of the Tarascan Empire: New Perspectives

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Tzintzuntzan, Capital of the Tarascan Empire: New Perspectives" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Centro INAH-Michoacán has generated a research project that seeks to renew the knowledge of the ancient imperial capital of the Tarascan Señorío. This ancient city has been archaeologically studied for almost 90 years; however, there are many issues that have not been sufficiently addressed. This poster session seeks to present the data and studies achieved in the last three years by a group of consolidated researchers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
