Cantona: Urban craft and contested chronologies

Cantona (site or historical name, not a self-designation for every ancient or living resident)

Residential compounds, circulation routes, ballcourts and obsidian production reveal a worked urban landscape. Competing chronologies make Cantona a useful case for explaining sampling and context rather than presenting one unquestioned peak date.

Urban settlement and dating context Formative through Classic/Epiclassic contexts; published phases and radiocarbon models differ Settlement survey, architecture, obsidian production and context-assessed radiocarbon determinations. Tepeyahualco public town orientation, Puebla. Approximate public orientation only, never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, political, cultural or sovereignty boundary. Not a burial, ancestral-remains, restricted sacred-site or private deposit location; no access, excavation or collecting permission is implied.
Resumo

Comunidades, cidades e evidências

Paisagens e ligações regionais

The Oriental basin and volcanic terrain connected local building materials and obsidian work with regional exchange.

Organização política e escala comunitária

The synthesis discusses sociopolitical organization and proposed state workshops; these are research interpretations, not a recorded constitution or homogeneous ethnicity.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Modern research revises phase models. A proposed occupation peak must remain tied to the tested structures and selected samples.

Households Compounds and storage

The archaeological synthesis treats residences, storage and circulation as well as civic spaces.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S1]
Dating Sample selection changes models

The dating study changes its proposed peak interval after excluding samples of doubtful context.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S2]
Name Modern designation retained

INAH notes that the proposed Caltonac name lacks evidence of ancient usage.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Regional sequence proposed

    The synthesis compares Cantona's sequence with surrounding basin settlements.

    [S1]

  2. Broad sample calculation

    The radiocarbon study first calculates this peak interval from its larger sample set, not a universally accepted city chronology.

    [S2]

  3. Context-filtered calculation

    Excluding doubtful contexts narrows the study's proposed interval; this is a model result, not a new historical event.

    [S2]

  4. Research made available

    The institutional journal records publication of the synthesis and dating study on 8 May 2020.
