Abstract
Finsten et al. provide short descriptions of the sites that were found as the results of two surveys: the earlier one by the Smithsonian Institution/University of Michigan and the second by the Valley of Oaxaca Settlement Pattern Project. Most of the sites described are cave sites with preceramic or Archaic desposits and ceramic deposits, some of which date up to the Postclassic period. The sites with ceramic deposits that may date to the Late Highland Mesoamerican Preclassic period were marked for OCM codes (Outline of Cultural Materials codes).
