Abstract

Previous to construction of Tenochtitlan, there were old plains, canyons and gullies in different depths, that were filled with different materials and carved in the rock Canales by peoples. Evidence of the limits of contono of the “Isla de los perros” is have from Geotechnical and Archaeological Explorations jobs, artificially for a filling of 12 m thick covers from Corregidora to Saint Domingo in Mexico City and goes pursuant to the west side is a plain area going from 3 to 6 m. The general aim of this paper is to know How were filled these gullies and ravines, as into these limits Structures Templo Mayor, and on it the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace were built (within the Escapilla), and going westwards side from Luis Moya and Fine Arts building, were we have a watercourse system. The hypothesis is that possibly the “Isla de los perros” had two ways to build the foundation; First, when the water level was too low or dry, the second hipotesys could be that people placed Hydraulic systems; dam wall or albarradón and diversion watercourse to stop water and dry the space to build. To confirm previous data, we present historical documents, geological and archaeological material; ceramics, architecture, watercourse and seeds. In this research we present how the man used a work of hydraulic and foundation engineering to build the great city of Tenochtitlan On a lake area hitherto unused.
