Abstract
AN account has now been issued of the first season's work of the joint expedition of the National Geographic Society and the Smithsonian Institution to Tres Zapotes. The site is a large one, and the remains consist of earth mounds with little or no masonry. The deposits are tentatively assigned to three periods, Middle Tres Zapotes A and B and Upper Tres Zapotes. This nomenclature depends on the existence of a Lower Tres Zapotes horizon, discovered during the work of the second season.
