San Martín Huamelúlpam, Mexico
Huamelulpan
Huamelulpan is an archaeological site of the Mixtec culture, located in the town of San Martín Huamelulpan at an elevation of 2,218 metres, about 96 kilometres north-west of the city of Oaxaca, the capital of Oaxaca state. Because of its dimensions it must have been one of the largest Mesoamerican cities of its time, and also one with the longest occupation, from the Preclassic to the Postclassic Periods. The apogee of the settlement is estimated at the Ramos Phase, the period of Mesoamerican urban society's development.
