La Campana: Colima urban life and waterwork

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

INAH describes a built settlement with drainage and circulation spaces, providing evidence of labor beyond monumental display. The interpretation discusses earlier Capacha comparisons alongside later urban development. Early material does not date every building.

Urban and drainage-landscape context Multiple precolonial phases; principal urban activity approximately 100–600 CE in INAH's summary Built streets, drainage, platforms and regional chronological comparison Colima, Colima (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.

Colima, Colima is modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Urban work and varied building scales suggest coordinated labor, not one centralized state for all Colima communities.

Organisation politique et échelle communautaire

Urban work and varied building scales suggest coordinated labor, not one centralized state for all Colima communities. La Campana in Colima is not Huijazoo in Oaxaca; Capacha material, urban building dates and outside-style comparisons must remain distinct.

Transformation coloniale, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every ancient speaker. Living language communities, self-designations and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Urban work INAH describes a built settlement with drainage and circulation spaces, providing evidence of labor beyond monumental display.

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Ces repères servent d'orientation et ne constituent pas une histoire complète.

  1. Material background

    Earlier ceramic comparisons are separate from principal urban construction.

  2. Urban investment

    The overview assigns principal urban prominence to this interval.

  3. Changing activity

    INAH's broader sequence extends beyond the principal urban interval without proving unchanged identity.

  4. Archaeological project

    The interpretation dates a modern research project to 1994.
