Western and Northern Mexican Worlds: Communities, Landscapes, and Connections
Western and northern Mexican contexts (orientation only) · Perfil con revisión de fuentes

Guachimontones and Teuchitlán built communities

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

INAH describes built circular arrangements rather than an ancient population category. Similar layouts need not imply one state. The public interpretation places prominent complexes within a wider occupied landscape; monumental structures do not describe every household.

Circular-building and settlement-network context Late first millennium BCE and first millennium CE; individual complexes dated separately Built circular complexes, ceramics, landscape survey and household research Teuchitlán, Jalisco (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.
Resumo

Ferramentas, água, casas e mundos regionais

Conexões desérticas, peninsulares, do Pacífico, de terras altas e do Bajío

Teuchitlán, Jalisco is modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Collective buildings and household differences require political models, not a universal western Mexican capital.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Collective buildings and household differences require political models, not a universal western Mexican capital. Teuchitlán is an archaeological comparison, not one people; circular architecture does not prove every resident's language or a single ritual system.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

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.

Circular building INAH describes built circular arrangements rather than an ancient population category. Similar layouts need not imply one state.
