Our study situates the classic period center Matacanela, located in southern Veracruz, Mexico, within the context of shifting regional political‐economic systems. Specifically, we assess the potential for utilizing neutron activation analysis (NAA) of pottery in the study of changing interactions through a focus on three ceramic wares: Coarse Orange, Fine Orange, and Coarse Brown. NAA identified four compositional groups, suggesting that Matacanela selectively utilized ceramics from a variety of sources, but the center's inhabitants overwhelming used ceramics that were only occasionally exploited by their contemporaries in the nearby Catemaco and Tepango valleys. Instead, the center's primary ceramic exchange partners were in the southern Tuxtlas foothills. This divergent pattern of ceramic exchange parallels earlier obsidian exploitation differences that revealed participation in the networks of the western Tuxtla uplands as well as the southern foothills and centers within eastern Olman. The findings of this study contribute to (1) the geological characterization of ceramic resources used by ancient Gulf lowland societies, (2) to the comparative ceramic database in a region that was an important nexus for diverse cultural traditions spanning Mesoamerican prehistory, and (3) the refinement of our knowledge relevant to the divergent strategies employed by groups.

墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州南部图斯特拉山脉中南部的陶瓷交易网络

我们的研究将经典的时期中心Matacanela置于墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州南部，在不断变化的地区政治经济体系的背景下。具体来说，我们通过关注三种陶瓷器皿：粗橙色，细橙色和粗棕色，评估在改变相互作用研究中利用陶器的中子活化分析（NAA）的潜力。NAA确定了四个成分组，这表明Matacanela有选择地利用了多种来源的陶瓷，但该中心的居民不堪重负地使用了当时仅在附近的Catemaco和Tepango山谷中同时代利用的陶瓷。取而代之的是，该中心的主要陶瓷交流合作伙伴位于图斯特拉斯南部山麓。这种不同的陶瓷交换方式与早期的黑曜石开采差异相似，揭示了它们参与了图斯特拉西部高地，南部山麓和奥尔曼东部中部地区的网络。这项研究的发现有助于（1）古代海湾低地社会使用的陶瓷资源的地质特征，（2）在该地区的比较陶瓷数据库中，该数据库是横跨中美洲史前文化传统的重要纽带，（3））完善与小组采用的不同策略相关的知识。
