Yucundeq

Yucuñudahui was a Mixtec settlement in the highlands of Oaxaca, overlooking the valleys of the Mixteca Alta. Its hilltop remains include terraces and ancient buildings occupied in the Early Classic and again in the Late Postclassic. Together with nearby centres such as Yucundaa, it formed part of a landscape of fortified heights, agricultural valleys and local lordships. Archaeological evidence reveals renewed occupation before the Spanish conquest.
