The Teotihuacan Mapping Project: Experiences with Data Files, Big Questions, and Some Research Priorities for Teotihuacan

The Teotihuacan Mapping Project has made significant strides in accurately mapping the ancient Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan, with a focus on data accuracy and validity. The project's electronic files, derived from extensive field records and collections, provide valuable insights into the city's layout and history. Key questions about Teotihuacan's urban planning, state organization, and societal dynamics remain central to ongoing research. The paper also highlights priority field projects and opportunities for further study using curated materials and digital datasets, aiming to deepen our understanding of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
