Teotihuacan and the Epiclassic in Central Mexico

A significant shift occurred in Central Mexico following the collapse of Teotihuacan around 600–900 AD, marking the Epiclassic period. This study synthesizes four decades of archaeological research to reveal how this transition reshaped Mesoamerican polities and economies. By analyzing regional studies, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the changes that followed Teotihuacan's decline, offering new insights into the dynamics of post-collapse societies in the region.
