Although few accurate economic records exist, there are indications that large Olmec artifacts made their way through a very sophisticated trade route to other parts of Mesoamerica. Artifacts and foods from other parts of Mesoamerica found in Olmec territory is evidence of mass exchange with other parts of Mesoamerica. They did not have a form of currency that neighbors agreed to accept; however, the Olmec were prolific traders and were a thriving civilization.
