people looked to trade with other regions to get things they did not have or make
Answer:
The Mesoamerican region provided jade as well as obsidian and it's proximity to the ocean provided it seashells and sharkteeth, prized for it's use in jewelry. Furthermore, it's land was farmable and suitable for slash-and-burn agriculture where maize was grown. However, all these items were found in different areas of Mesoamerica.
