Skill and the question of blade crafting intensity at Classic Period Teotihuacan
intensity at Teotihuacan and Xochicalco. These questions require further
Conclusion
I have counted the number of artifacts with hinges and overshot attributes
and derived ratios of these artifacts to support inferences about the rela
(Clark 2003), errors made during the production process were used to infer
skill should relate to the time spent making blades. Since the measures of
skill for the San Martin and Operation H craftsmen appear similar, I suggest
obsidian tool industry, some studies have approached the issue of craft pro
duction in the city more critically (Sheehy 1992; Widmer 1991). The earlier
model positing a system of monumental scale, however, still seems to be
prevalent in the literature (Millon 1988; Santley and Alexander 1993; Santley
et al.
for relevant commentary). Despite the problems with using the San Martin
surface data, the intent of this study was to continue to question the earlier
enough aggregate demand for blades to support the amount its craftsmen
could have been produced.
Although local demand would have been high in a city of 125,000 people
(Millon et al. 1973), the conclusion reached here is consistent with the sug
gestion that the San Martin workshop and others like it probably did not
export vast quantities of tools beyond the city (Clark 1986). This conclusion
overstated.
