Abstract
The exploitation of locally abundant, yet regionally scarce resources has long been considered a causal factor in the development of political centralization and the intensification of social complexity. The production and distribution of ground stone commodities have been suggested as the means by which the Olmec site of Tres Zapotes rose to prominence and articulated with the political economy of the Southern Gulf Coast of Mexico during the Terminal Formative and Early Classic Periods.
