ancient chalcatzingo • Austin • Published In 1987 • Pages: 114-158
By: Grove, David C., Angulo V., Jorge.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Grove and Angulo list and describe the major carved stone monuments (all but one with representative images) according to location within topographically and/or architecturally defined groupings at the highland site of Chalcatzingo. No chronological assessment is provided, though direct comparisons to La Venta carvings indicate the majority pertain to the Middle Formative period (2900-2400 B.P.). There is minimal interpretation of the motifs, much of it drawn from previous iconographic studies.
