Listeros,

An ancient imperial ritual complex built by the Tarascans dated to  
1400 has been found on an ancient island in the Lake Patzcuaro area.  
It includes a small pyramid, platform mounds, agricultural terraces  
and a possible imperial treasury that has been mentioned in historical  
documents. The archaeologists, using global positioning equipment,  
have recorded 16 settlements showing a 2000 year continuous occupation  
of the island. More info can be found here:
