New Museum in the Mexican State of Guerrero Exhibits Teotihuacan Style Objects

ACAPULCO.- Four kilometers away from Zihuatanejo-Acapulco highway, at Costa Grande Region in Guerrero, is located the Xihuacan Site Museum, recently inaugurated. More than 800 archaeological pieces are exhibited, most of them of Teotihuacan style, found during several field seasons at Soledad de Maciel, Petatlan municipality. A vast universe of Prehispanic pieces, such as figurines, obsidian vases, works in shell, copper axes, bell necklaces, ceramics and lithic, integrates the collection that explains cultural development of the ancient city that had a strong interaction with Teotihuacan during the Classic period (200 to 650 AD). Xihuacan Site Museum is located in the Soledad de Maciel Archaeological Zone, where for 4 years the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has been exploring and adapting different Prehispanic monuments with the aim of opening it to public visit in late 2011.
