A Zapotecan is a member of the Zapotec people of Mexico, concentrated within Oaxaca.
Archaeological evidence such as similarities in art, architecture, and pottery styles between the Zapotec and Aztec civilizations suggest cultural exchange or influence. Additionally, linguistic connections between the Zapotec and Aztec languages may indicate shared cultural interactions and influence. Trade networks and migration patterns could have also facilitated the spread of ideas and cultural practices between the two civilizations.
