DESCRIPTION:Lidar mapping in a Zapotec sacred mountain: Archaeology of Guie
 ngola\, a fortified Mesoamerican city\n\nPedro Guillermo Ramón Celis\, Ph.
 D.\n	Banting Postdoctoral Researcher\, ɬÀï·¬\n\nThis presentati
 on explores the foundational significance of Guiengola\, one of the first 
 cities built by the Zapotecs in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec\, Mexico\, and 
 its profound connection to their identity. Guiengola\, constructed during 
 the Zapotec migration in the late Postclassic period (1350 - 1521)\, repre
 sents a key moment in the Zapotecs' expansion outside their traditional ho
 meland in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. It is also recognized as the site
  where the Zapotecs successfully defended against and defeated the Mexica 
 (Aztec) armies in 1496\, solidifying its status as a sacred landscape for 
 the descendants in nearby Santo Domingo Tehuantepec. My research\, conduct
 ed in collaboration with the communal landowners\, respects and incorporat
 es their knowledge and protocols\, ensuring that ethical field methods ali
 gn with community concerns. This project underscores the importance of non
 -extractive scientific practices in enriching archaeological research. Uti
 lizing airborne LiDAR scanning and pedestrian surveys\, I examine the dist
 ribution and variability of residential architecture and material assembla
 ges by analyzing the city's urban layout. My findings reveal how commoners
  adapted and transformed their everyday practices within the new environme
 nt of the Isthmus\, offering a deeper understanding of the sociopolitical 
 dynamics that drove Zapotec migration and contributed to the roots of thei
 r enduring identity.\n
