Cañada de la Virgen: Laja architecture and interpretation

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

INAH's summaries assign different intervals to prominence and broader activity. Such ranges should not become exact dates for every building. The public interpretation proposes sky-related planning. That proposal is distinct from proof of the language or membership of all ancient residents.

Valley architectural and interpretation-limit context Later first millennium–early second millennium CE; institutional ranges differ Built alignments, landscape study and public heritage interpretation San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato is modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Collective buildings suggest work and social differentiation, but cannot identify every participant's authority or language.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Collective buildings suggest work and social differentiation, but cannot identify every participant's authority or language. Cañada de la Virgen alignments do not prove Hñähñu ethnicity; ancestral or ritual interpretations cannot authorize restricted knowledge, burial disclosure or descent conclusions.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every ancient speaker. Living language communities, self-designations and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Comparing date ranges INAH's summaries assign different intervals to prominence and broader activity. Such ranges should not become exact dates for every building.
