Listeros,
INAH investigators have found evidence of Teotihuacan influence in
eastern Tlaxcala. The site of Xalasco in Tlaxcala has been studied
since 2005. 2 cultures lived there; the local Tenayac group and the
other from Teotihuacan. 2 burials were uncovered, one buried with
pottery and the other with various offerings, ceramics and animals
such as falcons, dogs, fish and turtles. There are stone
representations of jaguar processions similar to Teotihuacan murals
and censers that were of the Teotihuacan variety. Xalasco appears to
be a Teotihuacan enclave that was a way station for commercial routes
to the Gulf Coast.
INAH has the story here;
