Salt was an important commodity as were marine products that were apparently traded all the way up into Central Mexico. Xcambó, which is a site located in North East Yucatan, close to Tel Chak Puerto and Dzemul, from the same time period as those that Mangus presents, was connected to the salineras of Xtampú that remained in use well into the national period in Yucatan. The site was originally inhabited by merchants from Campeche who became rich from their trade in salt. There was even turqoise and jade found at the site, which indicates that traders found the products made at Xcambó to be of great value. The site is also important in that over 17 figurines, in pure "Jaina" style were found there in situ burried with the dead or as offerings to buildings, thereby, amplifying our understanding of this enigmatic pre-hispanic Maya religious practice. I had the fortunate experience to work for a season at this site in 2000 under Thelma Sierra Sosa, and most of the materials for research on this site can be found at the INAH library in Mérida. This site is also featured in the Museo de Antropologia in Mexico City in the sala Maya.
