Recent excavations at Tula Chico, the monumental center for Tula's earliest settlement, revealed a long and complex history of occupation, beginning with its initial settlement in the Middle Classic period by Coyotlatelco peoples, when much of the region was under Teotihuacan's direct control. During the Epiclassic period, a program of monumental construction began that developed the monumental complex seen today over a period of about 200 years. Although Tula Chico was superseded by Tula Grande, the monumental center for the Early Postclassic city, it continued to be occupied and maintained until its destruction by fire. Tula Chico and Tula Grande show evidence of clear cultural continuity in ceramics, architecture, and sculpture, including “Toltec style” sculpture characteristic of Tula Grande that is present in temporally early contexts at Tula Chico.

最近在图拉奇科、图拉、伊达尔戈的调查

最近在图拉最早定居点的纪念中心图拉奇科进行的挖掘工作揭示了一段漫长而复杂的占领历史，从 Coyotlatelco 人在中世纪古典时期的最初定居开始，当时该地区的大部分地区都在特奥蒂瓦坎的直接控制之下。在Epiclassic时期，一个不朽的建筑计划开始了，在大约200年的时间里发展了今天看到的不朽建筑群。虽然图拉奇科被早期后古典主义城市的纪念中心图拉格兰德所取代，但它继续被占领和维护，直到被大火摧毁。图拉奇科 (Tula Chico) 和图拉格兰德 (Tula Grande) 在陶瓷、建筑和雕塑中展示了明显的文化连续性，
