Survey documentation at the site, with the use of 3D photogrammetry, offered new images and maps of water control features, namely, canals, reservoirs, and aqueducts. The integration of these data into a GIS database, as well as the complementation of information from previous archaeological research and colonial historical accounts, allowed further analysis of the flow, velocity, and quantity of water distributed at the site, and its possible connections with watercourses in its surroundings. This research studies the broader regional water sources and three possible courses of water in the area which could have provided the flow of liquid into Tetzcotzinco. This article is a contribution to a better understanding of the importance of water and its distribution not only in Tetzcotzinco but also in the Center of Mexico during pre-Hispanic times.

The individual decorated panels of some of the larger boulders are frequently covered with dozens of various representations made using various techniques. They include geometric motifs, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic representations. The documentation works were carried with the use of both traditional and modern technics used in archaeology.

The work carried out has resulted in the registration of an area of approximately 8,67 km² with 2582 blocks of volcanic stone covered with petroglyphs. The research also revealed new features of the site, unnoticed by previous researchers or not considered in the analysis that had been carried out to date.

Cemetery belongs to ‘Beshtasheni Cyclopean Settlement’. In this article we would like to give brief description of the graves found in 2015-2016, which contained artefacts and osteological material. Focus will fall on the features and material of special importance for the archaeological investigations of the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age period of South Caucasus.
