🧿 Huapalcalco

Huapalcalco is a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican archaeological site located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Tulancingo, in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The site is situated on the western slope of a hill known as Tecolote. The slope is divided east–west by a ravine, which creates two sectors at the foot of the hill and two more at the top, all containing archaeological remains. Artifacts recovered from the site date back to around 13,000 years before present, corresponding to the earliest known human settlement in the region.
