Recent survey, excavation, and LiDAR data provide a broad and extensive view of domestic contexts in the Late Preclassic (400 BCE–AD 250) site of Noh K’uh in Chiapas, Mexico. These data demonstrate that the settlement was laid out to promote communication and accessibility among the various domestic groups that constituted Noh K’uh. Households were large, well organized, and encompassed broad open-air spaces. Hilltops were modified to create large-scale gathering spaces, and subsidiary earthen works further increased access between large collectives of mounds. During a period marked by the increased centralization of political authority, Noh K’uh reveals the presence of multiple prominent households alongside an open-air monumental center. Modifications to the physical environment at Noh K’uh indicate that communication and social gatherings were a central component of daily life at all levels of society.

最近的调查、挖掘和 LiDAR 数据为墨西哥恰帕斯州的 Noh K'uh 遗址的前古典时代晚期（公元前 400 年至公元 250 年）的国内环境提供了广泛而广泛的视角。这些数据表明，该定居点的布局是为了促进构成 Noh K'uh 的各个家庭群体之间的交流和可及性。家庭规模大，组织良好，拥有广阔的露天空间。对山顶进行了改造，以创造大型聚会空间，而附属的土工工程进一步增加了大型土丘群之间的通道。在政治权力日益集中的时期，Noh K'uh 揭示了多个显赫家族的存在，以及一个露天的纪念性中心。
