Archaeologists have found wheeled ceramic toys made by the Toltec, twelfth-century inhabitants of what is now Vera Cruz. Although there is no archaeological evidence that the Toltec used wheels for anything but toys, some anthropologists hypothesize that wheeled utility vehicles were used to carry materials needed for the monumental structures the Toltec produced. Which of the following, if true, would most help the anthropologists explain the lack of evidence noted above?
