Crown says importing the material would have been a major undertaking.True, importing cacao from 1000 miles away would be quite a chore.

They must’ve found some we dropped when we were there!
Funniest cows we’ve ever seen were on the dirt road we drove down when we left Chaco Canyon. They got in front of us on the road and would not move over!

Cradle of Chocolate?
by Roger Segelken
October 8, 1998
Digging through history to a time before agriculture, archaeologists from Cornell University and the University of California at Berkeley have found evidence of a village that was continuously occupied from 2000 B.C. to A.D. 1000 as well as hints to the secret of the community's remarkable longevity.
"My guess is, it all comes down to chocolate," says John S. Henderson, professor of anthropology at Cornell and co-director, together with Rosemary Joyce of Berkeley, of the archaeological dig at Puerto Escondido, Honduras. The type of ceremonial pottery uncovered by the archaeologists points to that region of Mesoamerica as a possible "Cradle of Chocolate."

Haven't been to Chaco but, if you're in the area, Bandelier National Mon. and similar sites are worth checking out.

Chocolate is used as an ingredient in chili like dishes.
It was not the sweetened candy of today.
When Chaco was abandoned, the community may have moved along the Chaco meridian three times. Twice north to Soloman and then too Aztec. The move south was into what is now Mexico and all kinds of stuff from further south was present. There was major trade with the south.

Alas any claims to this are trumped by Mayor Ray Nagin who declared New Orleans the Chocolate City.
