Overview
- INAH documented three additional tepetlacalli—offerings 186, 187 and 189—completing a cluster of six ritual deposits at the Huei Teocalli.
- The new stone boxes, roughly 50 cm square, contained 43 Mezcala-style figurines (15, 15 and 13), raising the known total across the set to about 83.
- More than 4,000 shell elements were recovered, dominated by Atlantic species Nerita scabricosta and Hexaplex brassica, indicating long-distance transport.
- Specialists date the group to c. 1440–1469 under Moctezuma Ilhuicamina and interpret it as the consecration of war booty from Tlaxco and Tlaxmalac to deities including Tláloc.
- All materials are in active laboratory consolidation with controlled conditions and pigment stabilization while detailed analyses continue.
