Description: "This book brings together two archaeological research projects from the 1970's and 1980's: the Proyecto Arqueológico Huaxteca, a program of archaeological salvage where more than 500 sites were documented and the Proyecto Definición del Formativo en la Cuenca baja del Pánuco (project "Definition of the formative period in the lower basin of the Panuco"), that dedicated four seasons to the site Hv-24 or Altamirano (state of Veracruz). During the exploration of both programs, the most abundant cultural materials were the figurines: most from the formative period and proceeded from Altamirano. More than 6 thousand pieces with representations of animals and humans, practices and religious beliefs, daily activities, physical and cultural traits that the authors classified."
