Resumo

O propósito deste artigo é identificar as similaridades entre os sistemas numéricos das culturas olmeca e asteca, considerando os referenciais teóricos da etnomatemática e a difusão cultural na Mesoamérica. Para seu desenvolvimento, o texto delinea os limites geográficos da Mesoamérica, expõe uma discussão sobre a atividade cultural em tal região antes da chegada dos espanhóis, descreve os sistemas numéricos dessas duas culturas precolombianas e situa a olmeca e a asteca no continuo temporal e cultural daquele local. Por último, se formulam algumas conclusões sobre o processo de difusão cultural na Mesoamérica.
