LA CULTURA BOLAÑOS EN EL VALLE DE MEZQUITIC, JALISCO (The Bolaños Culture in the Mezquitic Valley, Jalisco)

En el valle de Mezquitic, Jalisco, se excavaron cuatro sitios; el primero mostraba un patrón circular similar a los ya descritos en el valle de Valparaíso, Zacatecas, y tres sitios que reflejan el cambio del patrón circular al rectangular efectuado por un grupo de gente extraña a los integrantes de la cultura Bolaños. Se piensa que este movimiento poblacional provino del oeste de Zacatecas y pertenecía a la cultura Loma San Gabriel, la cual tenía un nexo profundo con la cultura Chalchihuites asentada en esa misma zona.

Three sites reflect the change from the circular to the rectangular pattern made by a group who were strangers to members of the Bolaños culture. It is thought that this migration originated west of Zacatecas and belonged to the Loma San Gabriel culture, which had a deep connection with the Chalchihuites culture located in the same area
