Huamango

Huamango is an early Postclassical (Toltec period) archaeological site located about 4 kilometers northwest of the modern city of Acambay in the State of Mexico [1]. The archaeological area is on the San Miguel plateau, in the vicinity of the Peña Picuda hill, at an approximate altitude of 2,850 meters above sea level [1]. Huamango was discovered by architect Edgar Serrano Pérez [1]. The site was excavated by Román Piña Chán and William Folan in the 1970s [1]. It consists of a small ceremonial zone with some temples, located on a ridge overlooking the Valle de los Espejos [1]. Archaeological investigations have shown that temples and rooms were roofed with a wooden beam structure, covered with a thick clay sealing layer [1].
