What is remojadas?

Remojadas is a Mesoamerican archaeological culture that developed during the Classic era (200-900 CE) in southwestern Veracruz, Mexico. The name remojadas is derived from the Spanish word remojado, which means "soaked" or "waterlogged," due to the wet conditions in the region.

The Remojadas culture is most famous for its ceramic figurines, which were made using molds and decorated with intricate designs. These figurines often depict human figures, animals, and mythological creatures, and were likely used for ritual or religious purposes.

Remojadas culture also produced other artifacts such as pottery vessels, stone sculptures, and obsidian blades. They engaged in trade with other Mesoamerican cultures, and evidence of contact with the Olmec, Maya, and Teotihuacan civilizations has been found in Remojadas sites.

The society was organized around a hierarchical political system, and the ruling elite built large public architecture and monuments. The Remojadas culture declined following the collapse of the Classic Era, and their civilization was eventually absorbed by other cultures in the region.
