Although primarily concerned with the Midwest, the OSA Report Series includes research in other areas. Publication of this study was jointly funded by the National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. and the Office of State Archaeologist through the University of Iowa. At the time of publication, the author, Dr. Thomas Charlton, was Associate Professor of Anthropology at The University of Iowa. He carried out his investigations under the jurisdiction of the Secretaria de Educacion Publica through the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, Mexico. This report describes Charlton’s Teotihuacan Valley excavations, part of a long-term project designed to examine the archaeology of the Colonial (A.D. 1521-1810) and Republican (A.D. 1810 to present) periods. This was a period of dramatic and significant cultural changes in Mesoamerica. Charlton examines the major sociocultural events using historical documentary data and the material cultural excavated from archaeological sites, particularly architecture and ceramics which are described in detail.
