McNeil (eds), The Châ²ortiâ² Maya Area: Past and Present (Gainesville, FL , 2009; online edn, Florida Scholarship Online, 14 Sept. 2011), https://doi.org/10.5744/florida/9780813033310.003.0005, accessed 8 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter examines the immigrants into the Zapotitán Valley, El Salvador during the classical period. It focuses on the Miraflores cultural sphere of the Late Preclassic and the devastation of the Ilopango eruption. It explores cultural traditions in southern Mesoamerica that probably could have been identified as belonging to one ethnic group. The findings indicate that descendants of the Miraflores refugees from moderately devastated zones or residents of the central areas of the sphere may well have participated in the reoccupation of the valley and that a possible source for people would have been Chalchuapa.
