Radiocarbon dates from Baño Negro and Cerro Quiotepec, Chilapa, Guerrero

Author(s): Paul Schmidt; Eliseo Padilla

Year: 2016

Summary

Recent dates from two sites in the Chilapa area of the Montaña Baja of Guerrero state, Baño Negro and Cerro Quiotepec-Oxtotitlan, throw light on the Formative horizon temporality in the area, including the Oxtotitlan rock shelter. Baño Negro ceramics indicate continuous Early through Late Formative occupation, and the radiocarbon dates confirm Early Formative occupation, perhaps earlier than previously thought.
