The Mesoamerican Classic Period is marked by the consolidation of the urban process that started in the Late Preclassic and later the Postclassic, which occurred until the third century A.D. During the first part of this era, Mesoameria was dominated by Teotihuacan. As of the fourth century A. D., this city started a major process of decay that allow the growth of the Maya, Zapotec, and central regional cultures of the Epiclassic.
