El hallazgo motivó las excavaciones arqueológicas dirigidas por Leopoldo Batres, quien despejó un sector de un conjunto arquitectónico conocido en la actualidad por el nombre de Teopancazco.

Albergo una de las sociedades urbanas mas heterogeneas del mundo antiguo, con migrantes de Oaxaca, Michoacan y Veracruz en la periferia de la ciudad; en contraposicion, en el nucleo urbano pudieron haber existido unos 22 barrios (algunos multietnicos) posiblemente organizados en cuatro distritos. El estudio interdisciplinario de Linda R. Manzanilla en el centro de barrio multietnico de Teopancazco en el sector sureste de la ciudad permitio distinguir a artesanos migrantes multiespecializados de diversas procedencias. Por medio de estudios antropofisicos, isotopicos y geneticos se determino que la poblacion de este centro de barrio era muy heterogenea: procedian de la cuenca de Mexico, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Hidalgo, Veracruz y posiblemente Chiapas. En Teopancazco coexistieron practicas funerarias teotihuacanas con otras de Veracruz, asi como objetos, materias primas y bienes suntuarios aloctonos. Asimismo se replicaron objetos de Veracruz para reforzar el vinculo con el oceano, que es patente en el mural famoso hallado en el siglo XIX.

The muon tracker is located in a tunnel, running below the base and ending close to the symmetry axis of the monument. This study presents a brief description of the experimental technique and data analysis, as well as a comparison of the first year preliminary experimental results with physics simulations using GEANT4.

Excavations hoping to find compelling evidence of powerful rulers, such as a royal tomb, keep coming away empty-handed. But the alternative possibility of collective rule still remains poorly understood as well. Previously we used a computational model of this city's hypothetical sociopolitical network to show that in principle collective rule based on communal ritual could be an effective strategy of ensuring widespread social coordination, as long as we assume that the network's structure could be transformed via social learning and local leaders were not strongly subdivided. Here we extended this model to investigate whether increased social hierarchy could mitigate the negative effects of such strong divisions. We found a special synergy between social hierarchy and communal ritual: only their combination improved the extent of social coordination, whereas the introduction of centralization and top-down influence by themselves had no effect. This finding is consistent with portrayals of the Teotihuacan elite as religious specialists serving the public good, in particular by synchronizing the city's ritual calendar with the rhythms of the stars.
