Cuilcuilco Park -- Mexico City
Cuicuilco was an ancient city in the central Mexican highlands, on the southern shore of the Lake Texcoco in the southeastern Valley of Mexico. Today, it is a significant archaeological site that was occupied during the Mesoamerican Middle and Late Formative (ca. 700 B.C. to A.D. 150). Based on its date of occupation, Cuicuilco may be the oldest city in the Valley of Mexico and was roughly contemporary with, and possibly interacting with the Olmec of the Gulf Coast of lowland Veracruz and Tabasco (also known as the Olmec heartland).Cuicuilco was originally founded as a farming village, but presents evidence of early religious practices including stone offerings and the use of ceramics as grave goods. The city grew around a large ceremonial center with pyramids and an associated urban area that included plazas and avenues bordering a series of small, shallow pools. These pools were fed by runoff from the nearby hills of Zacayuca and Zacaltepetl. Population at the city's peak is estimated at 20,000 people. Site features include terraces, various buildings, fortifications, and irrigation ditches and canals.
Archaeologists conclude that Cuicuilco was a prominent community prior to the emergence of Teotihuacan as an urban center, noting that the six small communities which some archeologists believe eventually combined to become Teotihuacan were founded and showing evidence of modest growth during the time Cuicuilco was building pyramids and public monuments. The city seems to have been abandoned around A.D. 150 to 200 after the eruption of a nearby volcano, Xitle, although the territory was reoccupied at a much later date. Pottery, and other evidence, suggest that refugees from the volcanic disaster migrated north and became part of the population pool of Teotihuacan, near the northern shore of the Lake Texcoco.
Canon: A Mini-Symposium | Classic Veracruz Objects and the Place of Pre-Columbian Art
Canon: A Mini Symposium was held at the de Young Museum on February 7, 2013.
The View Across Central Park: Classic Veracruz Objects and the Place of Pre-Columbian Art by Rex Koontz. Rex Koontz, PhD, Director, School of Art, University of Houston, Texas. Dr. Koontz's work centers on the art of the ancient Americas. He is currently investigating the portable sculpture tradition along the Gulf Coast of Mexico in the years AD 100--1000. These objects, known as yoke, hacha, or palma depending on their form, are important for understanding the role of artistry in ancient Mexican politics and culture. His work also explores urban spaces in this region and how art, architecture, and performance programs helped to shape and focus the ancient urban experience. Recent books include Lightning Gods and Feathered Serpents: The Public Sculpture of El Tajin and Blood and Beauty: Organized Violence in the Art and Archaeology of Mesoamerica and Central America. He has done fieldwork in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras and is currently working on a digital tool for visual analysis, VWire, which was awarded an Digital Humanities Startup Grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities.
