About
Tepetlaoztoc, located in the Central Mexico plateau, is an important archaeological site that was once an Aztec/Nahua settlement during the Late Postclassic period. The site, situated in the Valley of Mexico northeast of Texcoco, showcases features such as field systems and remnants of an irrigation system documented in the Codex of Santa María Asunción and Codex Vergara. It offers insights into Aztec land use and habitation patterns, including the bases of house walls from the aldeas that were tributary to Tepetlaoztoc. Despite significant development in the late 20th century that destroyed many of these remnants, Tepetlaoztoc remains significant for understanding Aztec society and its transformation during the Colonial period.
