Barter, or the exchange of goods, ideas, and techniques with other peoples, allowed the Huastecas to enrich their economy and culture. This section displays some of the products they imported or exported, such as cinnabar, hematite, and almagre from Toluquilla and Ranas (Querétaro), and from Guadalcázar in San Luis Potosí. They also imported skins, hatches, and mineral-based dyes from the Pame region, and metals, rattles, earplugs, nose rings, bezotes, and plates from the West. Jewelry from the Mixteca and ceramics inspired by the Maya region, central Veracruz, and the Mixteca are also on display. Lastly, obsidian, quartz, jade, and flint from neighboring regions in all four cardinal directions were also part of the Huasteca’s trade network.
