Reassessing a Postclassic Subterranean Ceremonial Complex at Teotihuacan

Summary

This is an abstract from the "What Happened after the Fall of Teotihuacan?" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Life in the ancient city of Teotihuacan did not end with the collapse of Classic period society, but rather, until the constitution of the current zone of archaeological monuments, the area was a place of residence, rituals, and somewhat later, pastures and crops. We must remember that the period from AD 600 until 1521 occupies a broader chronological arc than the Classic period itself. However, although with some notable exceptions, it has received less interest. This contribution aims to update some of the ideas and interpretations derived from the partial excavation of one of the artificial cavities that were reused in the early Postclassic as a burial place.
