Reihe: Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Symposia and Colloquia

Arising from the first comprehensive conference on the Olmec since the famed Mesa Redonda in Tuxtla Gutierrez in 1942, Dumbarton Oaks Conference on the Olmec focuses on then-current archaeological work on the Olmec and discusses many important theoretical problems in the study of Olmec civilization. Papers range in subject matter from sculptural art at the San Lorenzo site to Olmec influence in the State of Morelos, Mexico, through commercial trade routes. In considering the problematic developments and ramifications of Olmec civilization, this volume offers an invigorating deep dive into the Olmec and remains an important text in the study of this ancient culture.
