Tamtoc

Tamtoc was a Huastec settlement in the river country of eastern Mexico. Its buildings surround a central plaza, including the tall platforms known as El Cubilete and El Tantoque. Circular and rounded structures, stone sculptures and evidence of a calendar reveal the distinctive character of this Mesoamerican centre. Many surviving buildings date from the period between 900 and 1350, when the settlement reached its greatest development.
