Question
At one site associated with this archeological culture, a sacrificial bog preserved a large collection of wooden busts depicting “elongated men.” A cleft head, almond-shaped eyes, and a downturned mouth are characteristic of this culture’s depictions of what are thought to be “were-jaguars.” A set of glyphs inscribed on the Cascajal Block suggest that this culture independently invented writing. This culture’s creation of rubber balls may indicate their invention of a regionally popular ball game. Matthew and Marion Stirling led excavations at this culture’s sites of Tres Zapotes and La Venta. This culture created at least 17 massive basalt artifacts that likely served as portraits of rulers. For 10 points, name this Mesoamerican culture known for creating sculptures of colossal heads. ■END■
