Surface Archaeology in the Chilapa-Zitlala Area of Guerrero, México
Seasons 2 and 3 (2004–2005)

Research Team

Our research team in 2004 consisted of Miguel Pérez Negrete and Claudia Porras Ibarra (Figure 10). Miguel did most of the mapping, while Claudia did some survey and the excavation of the test pits at Cerro Quiotepec. Gabriel Lima, now President of the Neighborhood Board for the Protection of Acatlán's Cultural Patrimony, Municipality of Chilapa, assisted us as a guide, interpreter, and amateur archaeologist. In 2005, my assistants were Osiris Quezada (Figure 12, shown above) and Eliseo Padilla (Figure 13, shown below). Osiris spent most of her time with me resurveying Cerro Quiotepec (CZ-002), this time for lithic material, while Eliseo was in charge of the test pit at Baño Negro (CZ-116). Iliana Miguel (Figure 14, shown below) participated briefly in the survey around Xochitempa, and at the Baño Negro excavation.
