Previously believed to be a military fortress, the site has now been identified as a fortified city covering 360 hectares, consisting of over 1,100 structures...</p><p>More information: <a href="https://archaeologymag.com/2025/02/lost-zapotec-city-unearthed-in-mexican-jungle/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archaeologymag.com/2025/02/los</span><span class="invisible">t-zapotec-city-unearthed-in-mexican-jungle/</span></a></p><p>Follow <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@archaeology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>archaeology</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Guiengola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Guiengola</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LiDAR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiDAR</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Zapotec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zapotec</span></a></p>
G. D'Andrea Curra<p>Analysis of LiDAR-generated data suggests that the Zapotec site of Guiengola in Mexico was indeed a fortified city, the research mapped the size and layout of the structures and inferred their use based on artefacts associated with them (McGill University). <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/lidar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lidar</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/zapotec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zapotec</span></a> <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/remote-sensing-tools-yield-insights-abandoned-pre-columbian-mexican-city-362490" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/ne</span><span class="invisible">ws/remote-sensing-tools-yield-insights-abandoned-pre-columbian-mexican-city-362490</span></a></p>
