Listeros,

INAH is continuing excavations at the El Coporo site in Guanajuato.  
They are working on the base of the pyramid there. Restoration had  
been ongoing for 5 years and the site will be open to the public in  
two years. The site was part of the Tunal Grande culture (200-1100  
CE). 150 structures have been uncovered so far. El Coporo was the  
administrative center over 29 settlements below the mountain top upon  
which El Coporo was established. The site was occupied from 500-900 CE.

INAH has the story here;
