SUMMARY:The Ecstasy and the Agony:Excavations at La Venta\, Mexico\, an Olmec Capital
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Dr. Susan Gillespie\nProfessor of Anthropology\, University of Florida \nIn 1942 and 1943\, excavations revealed fabulous buried deposits of jade and other precious items in a very unexpected place: La Venta on Mexico’s southern Gulf coast\, an area of swamps and tropical forest. These finds produced an “ecstatic” reaction in the world of archaeology and shed light on the Olmecs\, a mysterious early civilization in Mesoamerica (c. 1150-400 BC). Subsequent fieldwork in 1955 revealed even more astonishing discoveries: tons of jade and other greenstone objects recovered at an “agonizing” cost. The archaeologists encountered tremendous problems excavating La Venta. The site was already suffering damage by development\, and subsequent looting destroyed much of what was left. The story of the ecstasy and agony of La Venta’s excavations is reconstructed through archival archaeology\, analyzing the field records\, maps\, and photographs.
