Basin of Mexico

Located in Central Mexico, the Basin of Mexico has a long history of urban settlement dating back at least to the Early Classic state of Teotihuacan. Many regional surveys and site specific archaeological excavations are providing a growing corpus of data documenting the formation and fragmentation of several great political states in Prehispanic times.
