[Aztlan] Teotihuacan influence in Tlaxcala

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

INAH investigators have found evidence of Teotihuacan influence in  
eastern Tlaxcala.  The site of Xalasco in Tlaxcala has been studied  
since 2005. 2 cultures lived there; the local Tenayac group and the  
other from Teotihuacan. 2 burials were uncovered, one buried with  
pottery and the other with various offerings, ceramics and animals  
such as falcons, dogs, fish and turtles. There are stone  
representations of jaguar processions similar to Teotihuacan murals  
and censers that were of the Teotihuacan variety. Xalasco appears to  
be a Teotihuacan enclave that was a way station for commercial routes  
to the Gulf Coast.
