-- it fits our romantic image of the lone craftsman but not the history and pre-history of Zapotec textile production. In short, for at least as long as Teotitlán has been Teotitlán (that is since it was subsumed into the Aztec empire and given the Nahuatl name of "Teotitlán"), the Zapotec textiles made there have most typically been taken to market and bartered with or sold by merchants and long distance traders from below "Brother Rock."

The stereotypical image of "authentic" Zapotec textile production and marketing that exists in the popular literature (travel accounts, tour guides, other web sites, and guides to purchasing Mexican handicrafts) are inaccurate. These sources suggest that purchasing a Zapotec textile directly from the person who wove it is the most "authentic buying experience." Unfortunately, this notion is a product of our own imagination and not historical reality
