Interpreting and Dating Walls from Archaeological Contexts in Oaxaca: A Discussion

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Moving the Needle: Expanding the Discourse on Modern Archaeology in Oaxaca Part II" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Walls encountered in archaeological contexts are notoriously difficult to date and assign function. In this talk, the authors report on two extensive, previously unknown walls from the site of Monte Negro in Oaxaca, Mexico. They discuss the possible temporality and purpose of these walls, alluding to comparable findings from other sites in Oaxaca, with hopes of generating future discussion among the participants of this symposium.
