Abstract

This chapter describes briefly all the various architectural features found within the area mapped by the Xochicalco Mapping Project, including civic-ceremonial areas, households, terraces, defensive features, and transportation features. It includes mention of the range of artifacts found with each feature. Much of the occupation at the site occurred during the Gobernador phase (1350 BP-1100 BP or 650 AD-900 AD) with a lighter reoccupation during the Temazcalli and Cuauhnahuac phases (800 BP-479 BP or 1200 AD-1521 AD).
