Dainzú is a Zapotec archaeological site located in the eastern side of the Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, about 20 km south-east of the city of Oaxaca, Oaxaca State, Mexico. It is an ancient village near to and contemporary with Monte Alban and Mitla, with an earlier development. Dainzú was first occupied 700-600 BC but the main phase of occupation dates from about 200 BC to 350 AD. The site was excavated in 1965 by Mexican archaeologist Ignacio Bernal. == Toponymy== The original name of this town is unknown. The archaeological site is named from the word ''Dannizhú'', used by ancient inhabitants to refer the site, at the time when Bernal made local inquiries. "Dainzú" means ''hill of the organ cactus'' in Zapotec,〔 it is formed from two Zapotec words: ''danni'' meaning "hill" and ''zu'' meaning "organ cactus".〔 Another name used for the archaeological site is "Quiebelagayo" (Zapotec language) that meas "Cinco Flore” (Five flower). The above has the same meaning of the Nahua Toponymy Macuilxóchitl, name of the town closest to Dainzú.〔Oliveros, 1997: 25.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dainzú」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
