Xochitecatl
Xochitecatl is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located in the Mexican State of Tlaxcala, 18 km southwest of Tlaxcala city.〔Hirth 2005〕 The major architecture dates to the Middle Preclassic Period (1000–400 BC) but occupation continued, with one major interruption, until the Late Classic, when the site was abandoned, although there is evidence of ritual activity dating to the Postclassic and Colonial Periods. The ruins cover an area of 12 hectares on top of a volcanic dome.〔〔INAH Bulletin (''Hallazgos en Xochitécatl'' ), 25 May 08, accessed 8 December 〕〔Serra Puche & de la Torre, 2002 (''Cacaxtla y Xochitécatl (Guía de viajeros)'' ) 〕 Xochitecatl, unlike other contemporary sites, appears to have been a purely ceremonial centre for a population dispersed through the surrounding countryside rather than the centre of an urban area.〔 ==Etymology== ''Xochitecatl'' is formed from two Nahuatl words, ''xōchitl'' (flower) and ''tecatl'' (person), hence ''the person of flowers'' or ''the lineage of flowers''.〔Morales Gómez 1998〕
