| description | A checklist of amphibians and reptiles in the archaeological site Iglesia Vieja was made. This site is located between the coast and the Sierra Madre of Chiapas at 711 masl. The samplings were carried out monthly between June 2014 and May 2015, covering the rainy and dry seasons in two types of vegetation (herbaceous and forested). The herpetofauna was represented by 61 species (12 amphibians and 49 reptiles). The amphibians were grouped into eight families, 10 genera and 12 species; for reptiles, the group of lizards was constituted by 13 families, 16 genera and 20 species; while snakes were represented by seven families, 25 genera and 29 species. The Jackknife 1 and Bootstrap richness estimators showed an adequate representation of the composition. The abundance curves showed a greater dominance of generalist or disturbance-associated species (Hemidactylus frenatus, Basiliscus vittatus, Rhinella horribilis). Thirty-five percent of the registered species is under some risk category according to federal regulations. Although the area is located in a physiographic transition zone, the herpetofauna showed a high affinity with the Pacific Coastal Plain (66.53%). The areas destined to preserve the archaeological heritage also constitute spaces that contribute to maintain the biological processes. These sites rarely have faunal inventories. This work represents a contribution to the knowledge of the associated biota with archaeological sites in Chiapas, and groundwork for the management and future research on the ecology of a priority group. |

Se realizó un listado de las especies de anfibios y reptiles del sitio arqueológico Iglesia Vieja. Este sitio se localiza entre la costa y la Sierra Madre de Chiapas a 711 msnm. Los muestreos se realizaron mensualmente entre junio de 2014 y mayo de 2015 abarcando las temporadas de lluvias y secas en dos tipos de vegetación (herbácea y arbórea). La herpetofauna estuvo representada por 61 especies (12 anfibios y 49 reptiles). Los anfibios se agruparon en ocho familias, 10 géneros y 12 especies; para los reptiles, el grupo de las lagartijas se constituyó por 13 familias, 16 géneros y 20 especies; mientras que las serpientes estuvieron representadas por siete familias, 25 géneros y 29 especies. Los estimadores de riqueza Jackknife 1 y Bootstrap mostraron una adecuada representación de la composición. Las curvas de abundancia reflejaron una mayor dominancia de especies generalistas o asociadas a perturbación (Hemidactylus frenatus, Basiliscus vittatus, Rhinella horribilis). El 35% de las especies registradas se encuentra bajo alguna categoría de riesgo de acuerdo a la normativa federal. Aunque el área se localiza en una zona de transición fisiográfica, la herpetofauna mostró una alta afinidad con la Planicie costera del Pacífico (66.53%). Las áreas destinadas a preservar el patrimonio arqueológico constituyen también espacios que contribuyen a mantener los procesos biológicos. Estos espacios rara vez cuentan con inventarios faunísticos. Este trabajo representa una contribución al conocimiento de la biota asociada a sitios arqueológicos en Chiapas, y el inicio de una línea base para el manejo de una zona arqueológica y su biodiversidad, así como para futuras investigaciones sobre la ecología de un grupo prioritario.
