Summary

Archaeological research in the Yautepec Valley, Morelos, reveals evidence of Teotihuacan's political and economic dominance during the empire's peak (AD 200-650). Unlike previous studies focused on the core polity of Teotihuacan, this investigation targets its periphery to uncover the organizational complexity of imperial control. The findings suggest that even remote areas like Yautepec Valley were integrated into the empire's systems, challenging assumptions about the extent and nature of Teotihuacan's influence beyond its central region.
