Huamango is an Early Postclassic archaeological site (c. 900-1100 AD) located on the San Miguel plateau near Acambay in the State of Mexico, at approximately 2,850 meters elevation. Inhabited by the Otomi culture, it likely served as a major political capital north of the Toluca Valley, possibly subsidiary to the Toltec polity at Tula. The site comprises two architectural complexes with temples, including the Palace, a plinth with overlapping volumes and a stairway. Polychrome ceramics resemble Tollan-phase Tula pottery. Excavated by Roman Pina Chan and William Folan in the 1970s.
