Tututepec
Mesoamerican archaeological site / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tututepec (Mixtec: Yucu Dzaa)[1] is a Mesoamerican archaeological site. It is located in the lower Río Verde valley on the coast of Oaxaca that formed the nucleus of an extensive Mixtec state during the Late Postclassic period (ca. 12th to early 16th centuries). At its largest extent the site covered some 21.85 km2, and its political influence extended over an area of more than 25,000 km² of the neighbouring territory.[2]
