Las Bocas, Archaeological site in Puebla, Mexico
Las Bocas contains archaeological remains located in the Balsas River basin, featuring numerous excavation areas and research facilities.
The first systematic archaeological investigation of Las Bocas began in 1967 under David Grove, followed by extensive excavations from 1997 to 2000.
Excavations at Las Bocas revealed ceramic artifacts and an adult burial site dating to the Formative Period between 1250 and 1000 BCE.
Researchers accessing the Las Bocas site should coordinate with INAH, the National Institute of Anthropology and History in Mexico, for permits and guidance.
The site gained recognition for its Olmec-style figurines, though many artifacts sold under the Las Bocas name lack verified connections to the location.
