Abstract
The archaeological field research which formed the basis of this document was done in 1984 and entailed four general categories of study: first, a survey of the entire terrace system encircling Cerro San Lucas, to locate and map the distribution of cultural remains; second, a more intensive survey of thirteen unexcavated mounds in the the core area of the site …; third, intensive survey and test-pitting of two non-residential features…; and fourth, excavation of eight mounds which were the remains of Aztec period residences…(p.50). The findings from this archaeological investigation are presented in the form of summary tables, scattered throughout the text, with a primary emphasis on artifact inventories and ceramic classifications.
