Notes: Originally published in French in 1979. Translated by Helen R. Lane. In Nahuatl, the word “Ōlmēcah” means “rubber people.” At about the time of the Trojan War the Olmec civilization arose in central Mexico, in the present-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco. This is more a history of the Olmecs than an archaeology of the Olmec civilization (1500-c. 400 B.C.)
