Teopantecuanitlan, Archaeological site in Guerrero, Mexico.
The settlement spans two kilometers where the Amacuzac and Balsas rivers meet, featuring residential compounds built on stone foundations and ceremonial structures.
Occupied from 1400 to 500 BCE, Teopantecuanitlan reached its population peak between 1000 and 800 BCE during the Early to Middle Formative Period.
The Sunken Patio contains monumental travertine blocks carved with anthropomorphic figures that scholars interpret as representations of astronomical events and calendar markers.
The site contains two separate ball courts, residential areas, and ceremonial platforms that visitors can explore through designated pathways with informational signs.
Teopantecuanitlan houses the earliest known Mesoamerican dam, constructed around 1200 BCE using rough rocks and flat stone slabs for irrigation channels.
