Reconstruyendo el “Proyecto Teotihuacán” del INAH, 1962-1964 (temporadas IV y V)

A groundbreaking reconstruction of INAH's 'Proyecto Teotihuacán' (1962–1964) reveals unprecedented insights into the archaeological memory and methodological challenges of one of Latin America's most significant pre-Hispanic excavations. This study synthesizes previously unpublished technical reports, offering a comprehensive overview of Seasons IV and V, which followed earlier campaigns (1960–1962). By analyzing primary documentary sources, it elucidates the narratives constructed by specialists regarding Teotihuacan's pre-Hispanic society and the evolution of archaeological practices in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research highlights the logistical and institutional hurdles faced during large-scale reconstructions, providing a critical framework for understanding both the ancient metropolis and the history of archaeology in Mexico.
