Abstract

Contrary to Sugiyama et al., radiocarbon dates from the Sun Pyramid do not mean that the Pyramid was constructed later than current estimates, nor that the Teotihuacan ceramic chronology should be changed.

Contrariamente a Sugiyama et al., las fechas de radiocarbono de la Pirámide del Sol no significan que la Pirámide fue construida más tarde que las estimaciones actuales indican, ni que la cronología cerámica de Teotihuacan debería ser cambiada.
