Abstract
The site is a major center of the Olmec culture, previously thought contemporary with earlier part of the classic period of Lowland Maya cultural development (ca. A. D. 300-900). Recent studies of an archaeological "Complex A", with a four-phase constructional history, now reveal, via C14 analysis, that the time element is probably B. C 800-400.Keywords
