Abstract

Documentary data of the sixteenth century indicate the manufacture of ceramic vessels for salt-making and trade. Texcoco Fabric-marked pottery is the archaeological manifestation of these vessels. Use of a special ware is related to increased salt-making in the Aztec period. Implications of this for the economic integration of Central Mexico are mentioned.
