Tres Zapotes

Tres Zapotes is a Mesoamerican archaeological site located in the south-central Lowlands of Mexico in the plain. Tres Zapotes is sometimes referred to as the third major Olmec capital, but the Olmec phase is only a portion of the site's history, which continued through the Epi-Olmec and Classic Veracruz cultural periods.
