Archaeological Sites of Mesoamerica and Indigenous North America

Archaeological sites and ancient remains this atlas records as belonging to Mesoamerica or indigenous North America: Maya, Aztec, Andean and other pre-Columbian Latin American sites, together with Mesa Verde, the Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings of the American Southwest, a comparable indigenous ancient-Americas site the report's own narrower "Mesoamerica" label did not name. Belongs here: any ancient indigenous site this subcategory records as belonging to the Americas before European contact. Does not belong here: a colonial-era site built after European contact, gathered under this subcategory's own Colonial and Post-Medieval Ruin Sites (Misfiled) group instead.
