The artifacts found in tomb 7 demonstrate as fine a workmanship as any artifact ever found worldwide.
They are from the post classic era of Oaxacan art and attributed to the Mixtec culture, a northern
Oaxacan group that entered the Oaxacan valley after the fall of the Zapotec city of Monte Alban in 750
AD. Many artifacts from Monte Alban's classic period are displayed at the Santo Domingo center, the
Rufino Tamayo Museum and at the museum at the ruin site of Monte Alban.
