Abstract
Summary
Tingambato was one of the major archaeological sites in west Mexico (latitude 19°30′N, longitude 101°51′W at an elevation of 1930 m asl.) during the Classic period, but unfortunately we know little about its particular chronology. The geology of the site is dominated by recent volcanic activity (Pliocene/Quaternary) and the bedrock is composed of young volcanic basaltic-andesite, andesite and dacite rocks and the volcanic ejects develop soils characteristics classified as Andisols. In this study we present the results of GPR and ERT measurements performed on Tingambato site in 2017. We have defined new location areas for excavations which are planned to be held in September 2017.
