Lambityeco

Lambityeco is a small archaeological site of the Zapotec civilization located about three kilometers west of the city of Tlacolula de Matamoros in the Mexican state of Oaxaca [1]. The two main structures at Lambityeco are Mound 190 and Mound 195 [1]. Mound 190 is an elite residence with the entrance flanked by two imposing masks of Cocijo, the Zapotec rain god [1]. After five months of restoration works, one of the few pictures of prehispanic governors was recovered, located in the facade of Tomb 6 at the Lambityeco archaeological site [1]. These are "señor 1 Temblor" and "señora 10 Caña" with an antiquity of more than 1300 years [1].
