Dumbarton Oaks Studies in Pre-Columbian Art and Archaeology
A Study of Olmec Sculptural Chronology
Susan Milbrath

This stylistic study of Olmec sculpture defines four major stylistic groups. Milbrath determines the chronological placement of each group by considering the archaeological context of several monuments, comparing them with dated ceramic motifs, and analyzing their stylistic relationship to sculptures from outside the heartland that have been dated by their archaeological context.
