Huapalcalco is a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican archaeological site located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Tulancingo, in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The site is situated on the western slope of a hill known as Tecolote. The slope is divided east–west by a ravine, which creates two sectors at the foot ofRead more
the hill and two more at the top, all containing archaeological remains. Artifacts recovered from the site date back to around 13,000 years before present, corresponding to the earliest known human settlement in the region.
Huapalcalco is believed to have been an important civil, religious, and urban centre. Huapalcalco flourished during the Mesoamerican Classic period (100–650 CE) and was associated with the state of Teotihuacan. While its architecture and ceramics show Teotihuacan influence, they also display distinctive features. The precise culture that constructed the monuments remains unidentified, although the site is considered closely related to Teotihuacan and shows additional influence from Gulf Coast cultures, notably the Olmeca-Xicalanca. Huapalcalco was part of the second Toltec Empire, preceding the rise of Tula, and some traditions hold that Topilitzin Quetzalcóatl resided there before ruling Tula.
Evidence suggests the existence of wooden structures, though their exact function is unknown. One of these may have served as a Telpochcalli, a facility dedicated to military training, the administration of justice, or the teaching of dance and music.
