Most every community has a stone sculpture standing around its plaza or still lying in its surrounding
fields. The INAH, Mexico´s Institute for Anthropology and History, keeps records of archaeological
finds in Mexico, and is totally overwhelmed. Of the many sites registered for Veracruz alone, only
about 2000 have been catalogued.
It is financially simply not feasible to do much more than that agency is doing. So save your complaints
when you see an Olmec monument as a door stop.
