Sin duda, los pobladores de Mesoamérica, en su conjunto, sabían elaborar una serie de aleaciones entre las que se destacan las aleaciones binarias de plata-cobre, cobre-estaño (bronces al estaño), cobre-arsénico (bronces arsenicales), cobre-antimonio (bronces al antimonio), cobre-plomo (cobre al plomo) y cobre-cinc (latón), mientras que la aleación de oro-plata es una aleación que se encuentra en estado nativo. De las aleaciones ternarias, conocían las de oro-plata-cobre (tumbagas) y de cobre-estaño-arsénico.

Undoubtedly, the inhabitants of Mesoamerica, as a whole, knew how to make a series of alloys, among which the binary alloys of silver-copper, copper-tin (tin bronzes), copper-arsenic (arsenical bronzes), copper- antimony (antimony bronzes), copper-lead (lead copper) and copper-zinc (brass), while the gold-silver alloy is an alloy found in its native state. Of the ternary alloys, they knew those of gold-silver-copper (tumbagas) and copper-tin-arsenic.
