Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Tlalancaleca was one of the largest settlements before the rise of Teotihuacan in Central Mexico and likely provided cultural and historical settings for the creation of Central Mexican urban traditions during later periods. Yet its urbanization process as well as socio-spatial organization remain poorly understood. The Proyecto Arqueologico Tlalancaleca, Puebla, started in 2012 and has accumulated archaeological evidence regarding trajectories of urban development from ca. 800 BC to AD 250/300. This paper presents some recent advances of our research, including excavations and materials analysis. It discusses sociopolitical transformations focusing on the Late to Terminal Formative period.
