The Highland Mesoamerican Late Preclassic tradition runs from about 2600 to 1600 BP (600 BC-AD 400) in the mountainous inland regions of Mesoamerica. During this time period the site of Monte Albán in the Valley of Oaxaca becomes a city and then the Zapotec state. As the state expands a permanent military begins and helps it to colonize neighboring areas. Interregional trade is important both for status items for the elite and obsidian for the military. Examples of writing are present on public architecture.
