San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán (or
San Lorenzo) is the collective name for three related
archaeological sites—San Lorenzo, Tenochtitlán and Potrero Nuevo—located in the southeast portion of the
Mexican state of
Veracruz. Along with
La Venta and
Tres Zapotes, it was one of the three major cities of the
Olmec (it was the major center of
Olmec culture from 1200 BC to 900 BC). San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán is best known today for the
colossal stone heads unearthed there, the greatest of which weigh or more and are high.
