See also: Pre-Columbian art#Mesoamerica and Central AmericaThe cultural development of ancient Mesoamerica was generally divided along east and west. The stable Maya culture was most dominant in the east, especially the Yucatán Peninsula, while in the west more varied developments took place in subregions. These included West Mexican (1000-1), Teotihuacan (1-500), Mixtec (1000–1200), and Aztec (1200-1521).
Central American civilizations generally lived to the regions south of modern-day Mexico, although there was some overlap.
