Lambityeco

Lambityeco

Lambityeco is a small archaeological site in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It is located just off Highway 190 between the city of Oaxaca and Mitla, about 25 km (15.5 miles) from the former. The site has been securely dated to the Late Classic Period. [INAH 1973, p.44.]

Lambityeco is a small part of the larger site known as "Yeguih", which is Zapotec for "small hill". The two main structures at Lambityeco are Mound 190 and Mound 195. Mound 190 is an elite residence with the entrance flanked by two imposing masks of Cocijo, the Zapotec rain god. [Winter 1998, p.108.]

The site is open to the public.
