San Jose Mogote

San Jose Mogote is noted for its early production of magnetite mirrors which they traded to Olmec centers (I think all or many of the mirrors at an Lorenzo were produced in San Jose mogote). It is an open question whether the people of San Jose Mogote were Olmecs or Proto-Zapotecs (or both or neither). But I think that San Jose Mogote has an important role in early mirror production that ought to be included. I think there is an actual mirror workshop found in San Jose Mogote. I'll take a look at the literature when I have more time - unless you beat me to it.[1][2] ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 17:18, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

here is a general book on mythology of mirrors with a section on Mesoamerica.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 17:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Maunus. San José Mogote is touched upon in the Preclassic period section, but could do with a lot more info. Thanks for the links - I'll probably drop them into the Further Reading section until they are used.Simon Burchell (talk) 19:28, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
