*** Through an interdisciplinary group of experts, INAH initiated this research program focused on the cultural area located in upstate ***
began in Taxco, the Roundtable III Anthropological and Historical Knowledge of Guerrero
To have a deeper knowledge and cultural articles of the Nahua-Chontal region, located in the "province of silver" ie in the northern state of Guerrero, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) implemented the Social Anthropology Integrated Project, which will run over three years by an interdisciplinary group composed of 23 specialists.
Mercadet Gloria Artis, head of the National Coordination of Anthropology, announced that this project has been divided into seven working groups, defined by a thematic line of study in academic fields of archeology, physical anthropology, history , linguistics, ethnohistory and ethnology. "This is articulated from a research problem common Chontal define what ".
As part of the opening of the Round Table III. Anthropological and Historical Knowledge of Guerrero , which takes place in Taxco from 26 to 29 August, the national coordinator said that this way you can revive and strengthen the socio-cultural knowledge of this region from pre-Hispanic times to the present .
This plan collaborating scholars from various institutions, amongst which is the INAH, Autonomous University of Guerrero, the Center for Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS), the National University Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) and the Government of the State of Guerrero.
In turn, Brigida von Mentz, CIESAS researcher, said that the reason for studying the upstate region reflects the importance that represented the same in the pre-Hispanic times as in the colonial, as it was an important mining area that remained long ties to the south of what is now the State of Mexico.
"many researchers agree that this area is archaeologically very important, but it is also fundamental in the study of ethnohistory and economic history of mining and metallurgy Hispanic that was generated there, "he added.
As a result of the project are expected at the end of three years, with at least 18 publications and a host of outreach activities, cultural dissemination and training of researchers in studies Guerrero.
also expected to create more interdisciplinary working groups in promoting research in other areas of the state, as the regions of the mountains or the coast.
III The Round Table. Anthropological Knowledge and History of Guerrero, takes place from 26 to 29 August in the city of Taxco and will aim discuss about anthropological work carried out in the area and the relationship they have on social development in the state.
Among the topics to be discussed are: cultural heritage conservation, ethnobotany, intercultural education, linguistics and public policy research, production and market indigenous crafts, rituals and worldview indigenous oral tradition, among others.
2008 field season
Among the tasks to be developed are the conservation of the Burnt Palace and the excavation of Building K, room believed to have been occupied by the Toltec
elite is also provided to conduct studies to confirm the time dating boom
Work conservation and archaeological exploration of buildings like the Palacio Quemado and Edificio K, the latter considered as the space occupied by the elite Toltec-start the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in the archaeological zone of Tula, Hidalgo state, which will join dating studies to corroborate data covering the period of peak that had the well known "City of Atlantis."
With a budget of about three million pesos, INAH specialists headed by archaeologist Robert Cobean and Luis Gamboa will work seven months in the Conservation and Research Program Maintenance Tula, considered one of the projects most important research of this entity, which provides field seasons extend from three to four years.
Thus, a group of restaurateurs will be devoted to perform conservation work called Palacio Quemado, "the name given by traces of fire found in the remains of the pre-Hispanic structure, which represents one of the top architectural complexes area, consisting of three courtyards with a series columns supporting the roofs and sidewalks decorated with reliefs depicting warriors and musicians in procession.
archaeologist Robert Cobean, reported that the intervention of the building due to the effects caused by the environment and natural phenomena such as strong rains that have affected the region. In this building built with walls of adobe and stucco floors will be a general cleaning, weeding, consolidation of masonry and sealing cracks and fissures.
All this, according to the specialist, will be implementing similar materials to those used during pre-Hispanic times, such as lime, for coating.
Archaeologist also be anticipated that the excavation of building K, which is a fundamental monumental structures of the archaeological zone consists of a huge platform over 100 feet long and 70 meters wide with large rooms consist of columns, its facade forms the boundary of the main entrance to the exhibition and includes a ladder over 15 feet high.
According to information that had the research done in the nineties, when it was excavated to 50 percent of the building, it appeared that probably functioned as a space for meetings and ceremonies of elite groups Tula, a hypothesis that is expected to check with the excavation and analysis of the materials can be located on site.
Excavation the so-called Building K will take about two years, because more than conduct research will seek to rebuild from surveys which have been made during the season of field work also expect to find background material to explain their function, "said Robert Cobean.
Another building to intervene is the Pyramid C, which was explored in 2007, revealing important evidence of the construction techniques of the cores and retaining walls. Here calls for further archaeological excavation and conservation in the preceding year.
also will continue the development of a topographic map of the new architectural-monumental structures in the main site for this specialist work will be supported by new technology to have an exact location of where the third dimension.
Regarded as "the place where he lived the king Quetzalcoatl, Tula had its peak between 900 and 1150 d. C, but with the new research is expected that this date be flown at least 50 years. "With radiocarbon studies being done at different sherds dating hope to have new development of this ancient Toltec city. "
"The basic idea is to document in greater detail, the urban development of Tula, especially the part that is in the archaeological zone, because we still have many questions to resolve on its institutions, history and culture and its importance as a great capital of an expansionist state, "said archaeologist Robert Cobean.
archaeological investigations, initiated 70 years ago confirmed that the well-known as "City of Atlantis" was one of the largest urban centers in Mesoamerica, about 16 km ². The importance of Tula, too, because there ethnohistorical data on various aspects of their history and culture: the names of kings, stories about the founding of the city, and their conquest and decadence.
Within the old city, also have identified dozens of neighborhoods with their own administrative centers and temples, so it is important, said the researcher, making a detailed diagnosis of the condition of all buildings exposed and initiate a program of consolidation and maintenance.
Cobean which will also forward inventory and documentation of the reliefs and sculptures sheltered in the cellars of the area and at the National Museum of Anthropology, as well as renewing the bonds of the site to make it more attractive to the audience and get more visitors.

The archaeological report detailing the sewer was reused as the building drainage system in the eighteenth and nineteenth , something very common in Lugo, as seen in other interventions in the city.
The remains have been found between fifty and eighty feet deep with respect to the current level of the ground floor.
The report notes that "the levels of Roman and medieval occupation located on a level very close to the current times being destroyed by the recent occupation of the land."
Following this discovery, the Department has decided to amend the planned project to rehabilitate the building and has waived part of buildable for residential use.
Thus, the lower ground floor is not occupied and is intended for the preservation of the surface and the Roman sewer, which will be open to visitors and the public.

A group of archaeologists discovered in east London the remains of a theater where William Shakespeare played his first starring roles on stage and took his first works as a writer, announced Wednesday the Museum London .
The playwright took the stage of the Theatre in Shoreditch, east London, as an actor in the company of Lord Chamberlain's Men, which also staged some of the first works he wrote.
Experts think that the Shoreditch Theatre conducted the first performances of 'Richard III', 'The Dream of a Summer Night "and" The Merchant of Venice'.
theater owners dismantled the night of 1599 following a dispute with managers who had rented. Part of the wood was then used to build another theater, Globe, south of the River Thames, which runs the British capital. The
Museum of London archaeologists discovered where was the original theater, which was octagonal, while doing some work for the construction of a new theater. "We knew of its existence for some time but never found any remains," he told AFP Museum spokesman, Tim Morley. "It's the theater where he first served the company of actors from which Shakespeare belonged and that his works represented the first time, when he began writing" he said.
The remains found are kept in the new theater under construction. "Finding that we build a theater for the XXI century in the same place where some of Shakespeare's plays were represented for the first time is a great source of inspiration," said Jeff Kelly, president of the Tower Theatre Company, the company that builds the new theater.
