Abstract (English): The political and mercantile influences of Teotihuacan on contemporaneous Mesoamerican cultures had far-reaching repercussions. Among these, are the enclaves or foreign neighborhoods located in the capital itself. The nature of these neighborhoods, as well as the role and place of these foreign populations, have yet to be properly evaluated. As part of an initial foray into the question of Maya presence and influence in Teotihuacan, we consider two representative assemblages: the presence of Maya and Maya-inspired greenstone objects and ceramics, both imported and locally produced imitations. After a careful review of the evidence, we find that Mayan identities were part of an open dialogue in which they were negotiated and iterated by the Maya populations established in the city, but also incorporated by the local population that defined itself in light of a growing Mesoamerican cosmopolitanism, in the wake of what could be called a Pax Teotihuacana.

Abstract (Spanish): La influencia política y mercantil de Teotihuacán en las culturas mesoamericanas contemporáneas tuvo repercusiones de amplio alcance. Entre éstas destacan los enclaves o vecindarios extranjeros, ubicados en la misma capital. La naturaleza de estos vecindarios, así como el papel y el lugar que tuvieron estas poblaciones extranjeras quedan por ser evaluados adecuadamente. En una primera aproximación a la presencia e influencia maya en Teotihuacán, consideramos dos conjuntos representativos a saber: los objetos de piedra verde y cerámica mayas, y los de inspiración maya, tanto los importados como las imitaciones producidas localmente. Después de una revisión cuidadosa de la evidencia, encontramos que las identidades mayas fueron parte de un diálogo abierto, las cuales fueron negociadas e iteradas por las poblaciones mayas establecidas en la ciudad. También, fueron incorporadas por la población local que se definió a sí misma a la luz de un creciente cosmopolitismo mesoamericano, siguiendo la estela de lo que podría llamarse una pax teotihuacana.
