Abstract: Remarkable text of the archaeological rescue on the stunning Pre-Hispanic vestiges of El Coporo, an archaeological site located in the Valley of Ocampo, northwestern corner of the state of Guanajuato. Archeologist Carlos Alberto Torreblanca Padilla spent 7 years investigating and rescuing the ceremonial courtyards of the government center, burials, sculptures and an infinite number of ceramic pieces. The book is the outcome of the numerous excavations and research work previous to the opening of the site to the public a few years ago.
