“…Some structures have talud-tablero facades. Some of these facades, like those in Tingambato, are Epiclassic (Punzo Díaz 2022; Rangel Campos 2018) and may be the result of local incorporation of Teotihuacan elite refugees fleeing the city's collapse (Pollard 2000:63; Spence 2000:257–258), or the return to their ancestral homeland of Michoacanos who had been living in Teotihuacan but could still claim some privilege in their original communities, which they had perhaps been visiting throughout the Classic period (Gómez Chávez and Gazzola 2007:132, 2021:94; Michelet and Pereira 2009:83). The examples of talud-tablero in the Lake Cuitzeo Basin sites may be of the Classic period, suggesting a relationship with Teotihuacan that in some cases extended beyond just exchange (Filini 2004, 2021; Filini and Cárdenas García 2007; Macías Goytia and Vackimes Serret 1988; Manzanilla López 1988; but see Michelet and Pereira [2009:79–80]).…”

Site E19 (19:N1W5), near Tlailotlacan, the “Zapotec Barrio” of Teotihuacan, contains evidence of both Tlailotlacan and Michoacan affiliation. To verify and better understand the Michoacan relationship, 22 enamel and 19 bone samples from five E19-affiliated burials were analyzed to determine their oxygen isotope compositions, which provide an indication of an individual's area of residence when that particular tissue was forming. Because prismatic blades and Thin Orange ceramics from Teotihuacan occur widely in the Lakes Region of north central Michoacan we obtained samples from several sites there for comparative purposes. The results show that most of the E19 people had passed their later years in the Patzcuaro Basin of the Lakes Region. Although in E19 the archaeological evidence of this relationship declined over time, the isotopic evidence indicates that Patzcuaro ties continued to the end of E19's occupation. It seems that the people of E19, originally Michoacanos, gradually adopted a core identity as Teotihuacanos while continuing to deploy their Michoacan ancestry during their stays in Michoacan.

“…The situation is more extreme in the case of first authors with local affiliations. In our sample, there were only three papers, one by an author who holds a professional affiliation with a country where scanning occurred (Punzo Díaz, 2020 ) and another two by authors that hold foreign affiliations but who are originally from the country in which the research was conducted (de Souza et al, 2018 ; Ramírez-Núñez et al, 2019 ). We recognize that our results may be affected by the inclusion of articles published in exclusively Spanish language journals, government reports, or the proceedings of local meetings, but these are often available only through direct request, and thus, can be more challenging to consult than English language publications.…”

Exploring the Nature of Authority Over, and Ownership of Data Generated by Archaeological Lidar Projects in Latin America

Data ownership and accessibility are critical issues across academia, but especially in fields that touch upon digital heritage that relates to pre-colonial/colonial societies. Who can access spatial datasets about pre-colonial landscapes, who is writing about these topics, and who, by extension, is considered an authority on these topics? This paper explores data ownership, gender, and local affiliation by examining publications on archaeological lidar in Latin America between 2011 and 2021. For over 10 years, archaeological remote sensing derived from lidar has transformed research in Latin America and especially in Mesoamerica, yet there are numerous issues related to data ownership and authoritative voice that remain unresolved. This study shows that publication authorship, including first and co-authorship, is dominated by male researchers at US institutions while women and individuals associated with institutions in Latin America are poorly represented. The limited representation of authors with local or community affiliations suggests that local authoritative voices are largely muted in archaeological lidar research in the region. We discuss working toward more collaborative lidar research in Latin America.

A survey was conducted to investigate buried archaeological remains at Tingambato, a pre‐Tarascan classic‐epiclassic archaeological site located in the north‐central part of the State of Michoacán in western Mexico, using ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The aim of this study was to detect the foundations (ancient buried walls) and cavities (tombs), define the geometry of the foundations and correlate construction style and depth with relative chronological buried structures. The survey was carried out on two grids of 15 m × 37 m (Zona Verde) and 10.25 m × 36.5 m (Ballgame court), using a 200 MHz antenna for GPR and Schlumberger‐Wenner arrays for ERT. GPR 3D acquisition was carried out along parallel lines spaced 0.25 m apart in a single direction. In the first area, considering the geometric shape found at a depth of 1.35 m, we can assume the existence of a buried structure, probably wall remains. In the second area, a very diffractive zone coincides with a resistive anomaly (> 2000 ohm·m). In order to refine the GPR results, synthetic modelling and a comparison with real traces were carried out. The 1D GPR modelling allows us to precise the presence of a cavity with a rectangular cross section. Since the type of volcaniclastic avalanche deposits of the subsoil do not allow the formation of cavities of that size, we infer that it may be the remains of a tomb or an anthropogenic cavity.
