Coatetelco, Archaeological site in Morelos, Mexico
The archaeological complex comprises several structures including a central square, a ballgame court, and small pyramid-temples spread across multiple platforms.
The settlement reached its maximum development between 500 and 150 BCE, during the Late Preclassical period near Lake Coatetelco.
The excavated site contains elite burial grounds with numerous artifacts including ceramic vessels, jade ornaments, obsidian tools, and copper-bronze objects.
The temperature at the archaeological site ranges from 8.4°C in January to 36.8°C in May, with rainfall concentrated between June and September.
The western platform features three distinct structures with preserved stucco floors and stone artifacts whose functions remain unknown to archaeologists.
