Artifact Laden Pre-Hispanic, Pre-Volcanic Tombs Excavated in Mexico

Snippet. “Only meters away from Constituyentes Avenue, at the periphery of the third section of Chapultepec Forest, researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) have discovered a collection of ancient pre-Hispanic burial sites. The ten “conical” tomb structures dated back to around 3,500 years, and half of them contained human remains.
The discovery was made in the Lomas de Chapultepec area to the west of present-day Mexico City, on the edge of the forest atop a promontory near Cri-Cri Park, at 2,416 meters [7927 feet] above sea level.

In an INAH press release, María de Lourdes López Camacho, the dig coordinator, said the large agricultural village existed towards the Early and Middle Preclassic periods (2500-400 BC).”
