Zohapilco
Zohapilco is located in the Central Highlands of Mexico at Tlapacoya Hill, on the edge of Lake Chalco from 5500 – 2200BC.〔Evans, Susan Toby. Ancient Mexico & Central America: Archaeology and Culture History. College ed. 2008. 91-93. Print〕 The similar site of Tlapacoya is nearby.
Zohapilco was a settlement most known for the earliest date of the use of ceramics, and was the major site for the Tlatilco culture.〔McClung De Tapia, Emily. "Mesoamerica, Origins of Food Production." Net Industries. 2011. Web. 26 Sept. 2011. 〕 There are considerable connections to the Olmec culture.
Zohapilco was an open air site rather than a rock shelter, which is a precursor to the Late Archaic villages. Zohapilco did not have developed agriculture as the people relied more on hunting and gathering. Even though people inhabited the area throughout the wet and dry seasons, there is no conclusive evidence to prove permanent sedentism.〔
==Ceramics==
Zohapilco was the site where the oldest Middle American ceramic figure to date was found.〔Adams, Richard E. W., and Murdo J. MacLeod. The Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the Americas. Vol. 2. Cambridge:2000. 125-27.〕 Approximately 5000 years old and 5.7 cm long, it is an abstract figure of a pregnant woman broken at the torso.〔 There are slight indentations for the eyes, a bulge for a nose, and an exaggerated swollen belly. Archaeologists believe that the figure pertains to fertility. Many ceramic figures have been found from that time that are broken that it is likely that they were made in times of crisis or event to show dedication, and then destroyed after the event was over〔 Other ceramics that have been found are made of Tecomate which was used to make bowls and gourds. They are commonly a light brown colour with a red stripe on the rim of the bowl.〔
