Comment from Paige
People come to Mexico’s mountainous southern state of Oaxaca for many reasons: the architecture, the culture, the food, and often the handicrafts. Oaxaca has a long tradition of creating beautiful ceramics and pottery, as visitors will surely notice once they arrive. Recently, archaeologists have speculated that these Zapotec ceramic traditions date back even farther than they had originally thought, and yet this art form still thrives in the region.
