Resumen
Tepeticpac was a Late Postclassic settlement of ancient Tlaxcallan that developed an intricate system of architectural structures accommodated to the top of a mountain chain. Construction processes involved in the establishment of the settlement and its subsequent expansion were influenced by ideological, social, political and religious traits present in the region during the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
This ultimately led to a �containment-defense� type of structural design. Here, we address the conservation works conducted at the site and the enhancement of this emblematic settlement of Tlaxcala. Emphasis is given on the methodological, diagnostic and management proposal of the built heritage, highlighting the criteria used in the characterization, intervention and conservation works, as well as the actions implemented to address deterioration and preservation problems on archaeological monuments
