ABSTRACT
The chronology of the Pyramid of the Moon square in Teotihuacán was determined through relative dating of the ceramic remains present in the different strata sampled, during archaeological excavations carried out since the 1960s, so establishing dating through archaeomagnetism will allow having a database that complements those obtained in different urban sectors such as La Ciudadela, Xalla and Teopancazco, thus generating greater certainty in the chronology and understanding of the phenomena of urban growth and renewal of the ancient city. In this work, the results of the first archaeomagnetic dating carried out in the Plaza de la Luna are presented, based on the sampling of three floors of gravel and a tamped floor, corresponding to the different construction moments of this space, with the aim of establishing a sequence chronological base, with which to compare future dating, both for the square and for other public spaces in the city.
Keywords: Teotihuacan, Moon Plaza, dating, archaeomagnetism, prehispanic floors.
