Settlement and Subsistence in Early Formative Soconusco
El Varal and the Problem of Inter-Site Assemblage Variation
Samenvatting
The Soconusco region, a narrow strip of the Pacific coast of Mexico and Guatemala, is the location of some of the earliest pottery-using villages of ancient Mesoamerica. Investigations at El Varal, a special-purpose estuary site of the later Early Formative (1250-1000 B.C.) are described here.
