Unveiling Ancient Constructive Phases With Integrated Geophysical Prospection in the Group of the Columns, Mitla, Oaxaca
Open AccessDenisse L Argote, Gerardo Cifuentes‐Nava et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2024Cited by: 2References: 15
The archaeological zone of Mitla has an invaluable place within the Mexican cultural heritage. This pre‐Hispanic city concentrated the political and religious power of the central valleys of Oaxaca, south of Mexico, mainly during the Postclassic period. However, despite its great cultural importance and considering the risk to its monuments due to the high seismicity of the region, very few studies have focused on the systematic exploration of th…
Semi‐supervised classification to determine the provenance of archaeological obsidian samples
Open AccessPedro A López‐García, Víctor H García‐Gómez et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2024References: 26
In archaeometry, the correct assignment of archaeological artefacts with their original geological sources continues to be an indispensable tool for determining exploitation patterns, trade routes, tool production and the movement of goods in ancient times. Statistically, Mahalanobis distance has been an integral part of the artefact provenance methodology. However, this method presents disadvantages when some of the theoretical assumptions are n…

The archaeological zone of Huexotla, east of Mexico Basin, was part of the Acolhuacan lordship, associated to the Mexica domain in the Postclassical period. In this site, several structures have been partially explored, some of which are open to the public. Recent explorations led to the hypothesis that the structures of La Estancia, the Wall and the Community were part of a more complex space that formed the Sacred Precinct of the city. In order…

Open AccessDenisse L Argote, Denisse L Argote-EspinoARTICLEGlobal Journal of Archaeology &…2017
Magnetic and electrical surveys were implemented in the archaeological site of Xalasco, in the state of Tlaxcala, Mexico, in order to detect archaeological structures of interest, as well as to characterize the subsoil. The analysis of the information obtained by measuring physical properties of the subsoil allowed us to identify and understand the distribution of underground features like walls, floors and platforms, aiding in the determination …

D‐ERT Survey for the Identification of Archaeological and Historical Structures beneath the Plaza of Santo Domingo, Mexico City, Mexico
Open AccessPedro Paz‐Arellano, Andrés Tejero‐Andrade et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2016References: 2
Santo Domingo public square (Plaza of Santo Domingo) is located in Mexico City's downtown area. The history of its transformations began in pre‐Hispanic times and is still being written. The objectives of this investigation were to establish the position of the northwest corner of the ancient Mexica wall and to determine whether the Plaza became a public square during pre‐Hispanic or colonial times, taking into account the contradictions of the h…
Obsidian Subsource Identification in the S ierra de P achuca and O tumba Volcanic Regions, C entral M exico, by ICP ‐ MS and DBSCAN Statistical Analysis
Open AccessDenisse L Argote, Denisse Argote‐Espino et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2012
O tumba and S ierra de P achuca obsidian deposits in C entral M exico have been important sources of raw material since pre‐ H ispanic times. Numerous archaeological investigations have suggested that the economical and political expansion of major M esoamerican societies were linked to the control of obsidian sources and distribution of quarried material. S ierra de P achuca contains several obsidian flows and numerous quarries throughout the re…

Geophysical study of a Pre‐Hispanic lakeshore settlement, Chiconahuapan Lake, Mexico
Open AccessRené E Chávez, A TEJERO et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2009Cited by: 2References: 2
Results of a combined geophysical survey carried out along the northern shore of Lake Chiconahuapan in central Mexico are presented. The site contains a series of mounds found between the lakeshore and the ceremonial centre named La Campana‐Tepozoco Hill. Those features are the remains of habitation complexes built by the lake residents about 1100 years ago. Archaeological excavations performed towards the northeastern margins of the lake uncover…

Detection of possible archaeological pathways in central Mexico through digital processing of remote sensing images
Open AccessDenisse L Argote, Denisse Argote‐Espino et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2005
Many spaceborne multispectral images have been developed recently and applied in archaeology as they provide useful data, which can be digitized, manipulated and integrated. Principal component decomposition (PCD), texture segmentation and linear pattern detection through spatial filtering are useful techniques that provide a new way of processing satellite images in addition to traditional techniques. Such methods may supply more accurate inform…

The purpose of this investigation was to locate the foundations of an ancient wing of the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de la Salud, which, according to historical documents, was part of this 16th‐century structure. The site was located within the southern vestibule of the Basilica. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical magnetic gradient (VMG) field methods were employed. The geophysical survey consisted of 20 GPR profiles measured in the stud…
