Description: Archaeological excavations carried out before the fourth stage of field research allowed a preliminary characterization of the early settlements of El Tajín's civilization. During this last stage of field research (2002-2009), the author intended to articulate a program of extensive test excavations at the South Plaza, the North Platform of Morgadal Grande and the Cerro del Oeste in El Tajín in order to study the remains of its first public architecture (ca. 250-600 AD). Thereafter resulted a model able to account for the emergence and subsequent development of archaic states in the region of El Tajín.
