Una ocupación del periodo de agricultura temprana en xochimilco (CA. 4200-4000 A.N.E.)

Archaeological evidence from Xochimilco, part of the UNESCO-listed Historic Centre of Mexico City and Xochimilco, reveals early agricultural occupation dating back to approximately 4200-4000 BCE. This discovery sheds light on pre-ceramic societies in the Valley of Mexico, which have been largely overlooked despite their significance in understanding the origins of agriculture and permanent settlements. The study, conducted by McClung de Tapia and Acosta Ochoa (2015), employs systematic analysis to evaluate the role of these early societies in shaping the development of complex social structures, urbanism, and state formation in Mesoamerica. By integrating findings from this region with those from adjacent areas like Teotihuacán, the research contributes to a broader narrative of societal evolution in one of the most pivotal regions of pre-Columbian history.
