San José 520 is a Classic period hamlet of single-family residences in the urban periphery of Teotihuacan, just beyond the southeast edge of the city. Three burial features were associated with one of the residences, AF2. One of the features contained the burial of a single adult, another the successive burials of eight adults and one neonate, and the third held a neonate. We analyzed 29 bone and enamel samples from the adults for bioapatite phosphate oxygen-isotope composition; we also considered isotopic data for another five bone samples analyzed in a separate project. The isotopic results suggest a pattern of birth in the Teotihuacan region and then movement in early childhood to a “relocation” region, the geographic location of which is unknown. Later, probably in adolescence, the individuals returned to live, and eventually die, in San José 520. Without knowing more about the occupation of the relocation region, it is difficult to say what concerns or beliefs underlay this unusual but long-established settlement system.

圣何塞 520：一个不寻常的特奥蒂瓦坎定居系统

San José 520 是位于城市东南边缘的特奥蒂瓦坎（Teotihuacan）城市外围的一个经典时期的单户住宅小村庄。三个墓葬特征与其中一个住宅 AF2 相关联。其中一个特征是埋葬一个成年人，另一个是连续埋葬八个成年人和一个新生儿，第三个是一个新生儿。我们分析了来自成年人的 29 份骨骼和牙釉质样本的生物磷灰石磷酸盐氧同位素组成；我们还考虑了在一个单独项目中分析的另外五个骨骼样本的同位素数据。同位素结果表明在特奥蒂瓦坎地区出生，然后在儿童早期迁移到“搬迁”地区，该地区的地理位置未知。后来，可能在青春期，这些人又活了下来，最终死了，
