Description: The ball game of Tehuacalco ... is one of the results of the first report of the Archaeological Research and Conservation Project of the Archaeological Site of Tehuacalco started in 2006. This work, dedicated to the ball game, covers different disciplinary aspects of anthropology, standing out archaeological research in the central area of ??the Tehuacalco site, Guerrero. This book focuses on the formal and constructive characteristics of the building, the spatial relationship between its components, the application of archaeological excavation techniques for the release of the ball court and its consolidation, in order to obtain the integrity of the building and ensure its conservation and permanence over time. The academic significance of this research lies in the fact that an archaeological site with monumental architecture within the Yopitzinco area is studied for the first time, an area that was inhabited by two important groups: the Tlapanecas and the Yopes, as can be seen in the writings of Sahagún, Chimalpain and Durán, who mention them as groups not conquered by the Mexica. This book is one of the few studies that have been carried out in the area where these tribes settled
