Gheo‐shih: an ancient pre‐Columbian plaza
This paper describes the configuration and cultural context of the oldest known designed space in central America, Gheo‐Shih, dating from 5,000 – 4,000 BC. This site may have been a ceremonial space, being employed in a similar fashion to ceremonial spaces of Native American cultures from the North American Great Basin. It contains physical features that set precedents and are similar to the geomantic features of later nearby Mesoamerican cultures.
