World archaeology • 9 (3) • Published In 1978 • Pages: 320-333

By: Hirth, Kenn.

Abstract
As part of his research in eastern Morelos, Hirth proposes that the Amatzinac region became part of Teotihuacán's outer hinterland. His research indicates 'These areas supplied regional commodities to support Teotihuacán's large population and provided regional markets for its burgeoning craft industries.…Regional population increased, the valley was unified under a large administration centre, population was relocated into rural areas, and controlled by a highly structured settlement hierarchy.' (page 331-332).
