Notes: Anthropological Papers of the University of Arizona Number 51.  “Patarata 52 (P52) is a Classic period site (A.D. 300-900)located int mangrove swamp of the lower Papaloapan Basin, Veracruz, Mexico…The Patarata inhabitants were sedentary and relied to a considerable extent on aquatic fauna in their subsistence.” (From the Preface)  “…Patarata ceramic data are compatible with an interpretation of a Teotihuacan relationship involving an episode of imperial administration of sufficient duration to yield a suite of ceramic changes locally including some limited adoption of Teotihuacan ritual practices and iconography among incensarios and figurines.” (Page 146)
