located near the town of Huimanguillo in Tabasco state, Mexico. The site was large, up to 200 hectares in area, and was a village of wattle and daub structures built on adobe mud brick foundation platforms. Public architecture--that's the word archaeologists use to mean structures built for public purposes--at La Venta includes this snazzy abstract mosaic.
