Lambityeco

Lambityeco is a small archaeological site of the Zapotec civilization located about three kilometers west of the city of Tlacolula de Matamoros in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It is located just off Highway 190 about 25 km (16 mi) east from the city of Oaxaca en route to Mitla. The site has been securely dated to the Late Classic and Early Postclassic Periods. The artistic quality shown in the various urns, engraved bones and mural paintings in tombs as well as by decorated architectural elements with mosaics in stucco is remarkable. Lambityeco is a small part of the larger site known as Yeguih, which according to another version is the Zapotec word 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.
