註釋
Archaeological research at Cerro Tilcajete has produced a detailed map of the site and uncovered the plans of buildings, their associated artifacts, activities and exchange networks. This research has provided the kinds of data necessary to evaluate the role of elites as state administrators. Data from Cerro Tilcajete are compared with data from Monte Albán and contemporaneous secondary centers in Etla (San José Mogote) and Tlacolula (Dainzú). Cerro Tilcajete is the smallest of the valley's secondary centers. The number of administrative buildings at the site is limited. Excavated buildings conform to canons of state architecture, but are smaller than similar buildings excavated at the earlier site of El Palenque or at the contemporaneous site of San José Mogote. Cerro Tilcajete's elites used fancy crema ceramics and obsidian blades; access to these items required their participation in state-controlled socio-economic networks.
