From Teotihuacan to Maya cities

36World Heritage properties

The Mexico file now connects Chichén Itzá, Teotihuacan and Palenque through chronology, settlement form, production, belief, exchange and conservation. The sites are not collapsed into one period or cultural system; each is read through its own material and historical context.

Chronology and archaeological context

City, ceremonial centre, agricultural setting, calendrical order and political network must be read together. Monumental pyramids cannot be separated from housing and production.
