San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan is the collective name for three related Olmec archaeological sites in southeastern Veracruz, Mexico [1]. It was the first Olmec centre to demonstrate state-level complexity and the largest city in Mesoamerica from roughly 1200 to 900 BCE [1]. The site is renowned for its monumental stone sculptures, including colossal basalt heads, carved from boulders transported from the Cerro Cintepec volcano in the Tuxtla Mountains [1] [2] [3].
