Building Materials
Used In Other Cities
In
most Aztec cities, the people used wood found in uninhabited regions with
vast forests. Generally pine or oak would be used for making support
beams and doorjambs(Smith 11).
They
also used plaster, adobes, and lime(Smith 46). Obsidian, a volcanic
glass like rock found in the foothills of Otumba and other regions, was
also popular. They also used rubble and loose stone from coastal
regions(Smith 11).
