  • Chimalhuacán (Spanish: [tʃimalwaˈkan]) is an archeological site located in the city and municipality of Chimalhuacán Atenco in the eastern part of Mexico State, Mexico. It lies just outside the northeast border of the Federal District (Distrito Federal). The name derives from the Nahuatl words “chimalli” (shield), hua (possession particle) and can (place), this would mean "Place of Shields".The ancient name of the city by its founders was “Chimalhuacantoyac”.The word Atenco, is also Nahuatl; A, “water”; tentli, “lip” and co, “place”, hence would mean “at the water side”. The Chimalhuacán glyph appears on the Quinatzin codex, symbolizing a round shield on a hill, has an alternative interpretation, the name Chimalltepetl = "Hill shields" or "shields site"; most probably referring to the "Chimalhuache" hill, mountain located within the municipality and near the site. It is considered one of the cradles of Mesoamerican civilization due to the finding in 1984, of the "Chimalhuacán Man", whose remains are some 12,000 old. (en)

El glifo Chimalhuacán aparece en el , simbolizando una rodela o escudo sobre un cerro teniendo como interpretación alterna el nombre Chimalltepetl= "Cerro de los escudos" ó "Sitio de los escudos"; con gran probabilidad refiriéndose al cerro "Chimalhuache", elevación montañosa que se ubica dentro del municipio y cerca de la cual se asienta el núcleo central del pueblo.​ Se le considera una de las cunas del hombre mesoamericano debido al hallazgo en 1984, de "El hombre de Chimalhuacán", cuyos restos tienen una antigüedad aproximada de unos 12 000 años.
