Overview
- INAH specialists verified that 60 artifacts from San Pedro Jaltepetongo form a Late Postclassic (1300–1521) funerary context with Mixtec traits.
- The assemblage includes polychrome vessels, stone pieces, at least 26 obsidian beads, about 12 probable gold beads, and a metal pendant likely representing Ehécatl.
- Each item was photographed, labeled, and prepared for entry in the national archaeological registry, and the collection is safeguarded at the municipal presidency.
- A field visit is planned to pinpoint the extraction area, document the context, and attempt recovery of any associated human osteological remains.
- INAH criticized the social‑media dissemination of the find and warned that unauthorized excavation or handling of archaeological materials can carry penalties under federal law.
