description Societies settled in the Valles region of Jalisco, Mexico had a lacustrine way of life, as indicated by the presence of a body of water known as Laguna de Magdalena, until 1940, when it dried up. Based on archaeological survey, colonial documents, and an ethnographic exercise, this article identifies activities that are characteristic of life near a body of water in the societies settled in the area. This paper’s results include the manufacturing process of woven tule objects, presented as a chaîne opératoire. The study focused on the woven mats’ symbolic and utilitarian uses, beginning in pre-Hispanic times. Recognizing this process triggered a new archaeological question about the origin of a production space, located on the island of Atitlán, in what was once the interior of the lake. There were archaeological remains in a space that saw constant activities: making obsidian instruments for scraping, cutting, and fraying tule, which were used to exploit a lake resource in the same place.
