Hueyatlaco
Valsequillo Basin site near Puebla, Mexico, where 1981 dating implied stone tools up to about 250,000 years old; rejected by most archaeologists as incompatible with the tools' modern typology. Location approximate: pinned on the Valsequillo reservoir south of Puebla (dam at 18.9126/-98.1084, es.wikipedia Presa Manuel Avila Camacho); the Wikidata coordinate of Q2312036 was rejected, it lies 109 km NNE in Zacatlan, a conflation with the Hueyatlaco ravine (review Luna, 2026-09-17).
