By: Apostolides, Alex.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Apostolides describes the rock art found in the caves, boulders, and rocks around Chalcatzingo. He does not attempt to interpret the pictographs beyond a few more elaborate ones that seem to have been influenced by Teotihuacan. The paintings may date anywhere from the Middle Formative to the Postclassic period, with only a few paintings that can be shown to date from the Classic period.
