Specialized occupations.—Chiefly for reasons 
outlined above, the Atitecos have become the great 
merchants of the Lake; their industries include rush 
mat making and fishing (favored by the shallow 
water, warm in places, and a good growth of rushes) 
as well as canoe building; their agriculture is espe- 
cially successful on the rich volcanic soil, with the 
wide altitude range prolonging the harvest period 
(August—January), and dry-farming methods start- 
ing it early, all of which gives them about 3 months’ 
lead over other upland towns on the corn market. 
Then in particular it becomes the granary for all the 
west end of the Lake. I have seen canoeloads of 
Indians (pl. 24, c) from every village on the north- 
west shore, between San Pedro volcano and the Rio 
Quixcap, and once even from as far as Argueta, 
arriving daily at Santiago for the chief purpose of 
buying corn (this was in September and October). 
The growing of tomatoes and some cabbages in gar- 
dens with Lake-water irrigation is supplementary 
to the milpa, and a good source of income, especially

Available employment.—Santiago is only 2 or 
3 hours’ walk from the heart of the coffee belt, where 
many Atitecos work during the harvest (September— 
December). 
Historical precedent.—There is much archeo- 
logical evidence to indicate a pre-Columbian concen- 
tration of population along the shore north and east 
of Santiago (Lothrop, 1933, pp. 17-71; see also map 
20). It is probable that the present village site was 
then included in the land occupied, though perhaps 
it was not as densely settled as it is at present. Loth- 
rop suggests that “their populations [San Lucas, 
Cerro de Oro, and Santiago] have been augmented 
owing to the concentration of surburban residents 
under missionary influence” (ibid., p. 18). There is 
no vestige today of the old colonial governmental and 
religious forces of the reducciones through which,

season (September—October), and drop to 1/5 cent during Holy Week 
(March or April).
