Archaeological reconnaissance at the northwest end of the state of Chiapas: The Juarez municipality.

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Inter-regional Relations of the Zoque Province and its Surrounding Areas." session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Except for a salvage archaeological project conducted in the 90´s, the northwest of the state of Chiapas is still poorly researched. This region is part of the Usumacinta River drainage and one of the most important networks in prehispanic times between the Central Depression of Chiapas with the lowlands of Tabasco. A recent archaeological reconnaissance in the Juarez municipality of Chiapas illustrated how the región was occupied in prehispanic times and probably how Zoque communities engage in inter-regional networks in the area.
