Mesoamerica or Meso-America (Spanish: Mesoamérica) is a region and culture area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Honduras and Nicaragua, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Prehistoric groups in this area are characterized by agricultural villages and large ceremonial and politico-religious capitals. This culture area included some of the most complex and advanced cultures of the Americas, including the Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Aztec. From Wikipedia under the

I've never really heard of Aztecs having any interaction with tribes that were further north. You know what i meant Asked by Molotov - Mon Apr 6 23:41:23 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Meso-americans ARE Native Americans. I think you are really confused here on exactly WHO Meso-Americans are and who the Aztecs are. The Aztecs and the Mayans were simply the ancient civilizations of Mexico and Central America. They didn't just disappear. Their ancestors are still there.

Q. In my personal lore I have know that the Classic Period (200 A.D - 900/1000 A.D.) is named after the "Classic" archaeology of Rome and Greece, meaning the peak of civilization. Is this true? If so, please post the references (bibliografical or online) and who introduced the term in Mesoamerica. Thank you!!! Asked by oni_koukogakusha - Sat Dec 16 18:38:04 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. the term classic in archaeology refers to the period of time where the achievements of a culture merit the term "classical". In Mesoamerica, this term refers to a period between 200 AD and 1000 AD, but varies from area to area. For example, in the Mexican highlands, the valley of Mexico received two different influences in pottery; one from the NW areas of the Lerma River region of Chupicuaro, which brought in slant-eyed figurines and polychromic pottery with repetative geometric designs and, two (and of more lasting significance) from the east including flat based bowls, Thin Orangeware, nubbin supports, and more negative painting.
