Explore the Valley of Oaxaca Travel along with Field Museum Curator and Archaeologist Dr. Gary Feinman and his team as they continue to uncover what life was like high above the floor of Mexico’s Valley of Oaxaca. The Field Museum first entered the region more than 100 years ago when former Curator William H. Holmes explored the valley and observed that many of the surrounding hills were shaped by vestiges of prehispanic settlement. Today, we know that more than 100 hilltop centers with flattened terraces span the region’s crests and slopes. What discoveries have been uncovered by our team thus far? Read on to find out.
