What role did trade play in ancient American societies?
What will be an ideal response?
Trade served to make the ancient American societies more complex than earlier hunter-gatherer civilizations and led to increased urbanization. The Aztecs had a great open-air market where foods, textiles, ceramics, and other goods were available for trade. Groups like the Anasazi made pottery and textiles for use in a vast trade network that stretched hundreds of miles in their vicinity. The Anasazi traded turquoise for prized luxuries such as sea shells from the Gulf of California and for carved images and feathers from Mesoamerica.
