According to Ramirez Lavoignet, Las Higueras is located where the village was Yetla-Acalco (Yetla-aca-lime-co is Nahuatl word meaning "in the galleys of tabacal"), which disappeared in the sixteenth century. By giving the Royal Court land to raise cattle more, the first neighbors called him "the Cazadero Vega Rising" and later "La Vega". Cultural Significance This site is an important example of the Totonac culture, although its earliest evidence place the settlement to the Early Preclassic, when he was just a dispersed settlement which later shared the Olmec stylistic features. From the Late Classic Totonacos elements they are very clear, although the Teotihuacan architectural features are dominant, but in the pictorial aspect of Totonacos murals stand out for their variety, which allows us to reconstruct a long sequence of occupation. The Totonacapan, as he is known to this region was divided into smaller estates with trade relations and political alliances and kinship. Chronology: 1500. C. 900 d. C. Location main chronological: Late Classic, 600-900 d.
