Overview
- INAH reported a cluster of funerary contexts near Ignacio Zaragoza in Tula during rail-line salvage work, including five shaft-style graves within a 2,400-square-meter domestic area.
- A northern tomb held the remains of eight people, six placed seated, with 47 miniature ceramic vessels set near their feet.
- Physical anthropology labs are studying complete and partial skeletons from adults, youths, and a child estimated at 8 to 11 years old.
- Grave goods include mother-of-pearl shell ornaments and engraved (sgraffito) cups that were lifted with soil for careful microexcavation.
- Preliminary dating places the main occupation in the Classic period (about 225 to 550/600 CE) with later minor reuse in the Late Postclassic, and the settlement shows patio-linked rooms laid out on cardinal axes within a wider network centered on Chingú.
