Zazacatla, Archaeological site in Xochitepec, Mexico.
The archaeological excavations at Zazacatla reveal stone structures, ceremonial buildings, and detailed rock carvings spread across 2.5 square kilometers of land.
Excavations conducted in 2006 by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History uncovered evidence of human settlements dating from 800 to 500 BCE.
The discovery of sculptures depicting priests and architectural elements at Zazacatla demonstrates strong connections with Olmec artistic traditions from eastern Mexico.
The archaeological site stands 13 kilometers south of Cuernavaca, accessible through guided tours that explain the significance of the ancient structures.
Zazacatla represents the first documented case of Olmec cultural influence in western Morelos, located 400 kilometers from the main Olmec territories.
