Giant Stone Heads Baffle Scientists
Science Digest)

Five colossal stone heads, one froWning and the others placidly viewing the world, have been brought to light in the jungleS of southern Mexico.
 These newly y-diScovered great stone heads were found among the remains of a prehistoric h. dian ceremonial center eXcaVated this spring by an expedition of the National Geographic Society and the Smithsonian Institution.
 There gigantic heads represent the best group of monuments we have ever found," Dr. Matthew w. Stirling of the Smithsonian h. stitution, expedition leader, stated upon his return. Although similar to other baSalt heads found by the expedition in previous seasons, these found in the archaeological site known as San Lorenzo are better preserved and have finer carvings.
 Little is known about the his tory of these gigantic figures or who they represent. Another mys- tery is how they got to this site along the Rio Chiquito, about 60 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. The basalt from which they were carved did not come from that section, but must have been quarried at least 75 miles to the north.
 The San Lorenzo community is believed to have existed between 800 and 800 AID. It is one of three major sites representing the La Venta civilization under investj- gation the last few years.
