Answer:

The Mayan art that includes its architecture, murals, writing and books, ceramics, precious stones and other sculpture and body decoration materials, are strongly influenced by the Olmec, Toltec and Teotihuacan culture.

The main Preclassic sculptural style of the Mayan area was that of Izapa, an extensive town on the Pacific coast, where many stelae and altars (frog-shaped) were found that include motifs also present in Olmec art. On the other hand, we can see that human representations with aspects of animals that were carved in wood have many characteristics of the Teotihuacan style.

Answer:It is fairly clear that the Mexican highlands were far too dry during the much warmer interval that prevailed from 5000 to 1500 BCE for agriculture to supply more than half of a given population’s energy needs. This was not the case along the alluvial lowlands of southern Mesoamerica, and it is no accident that the best evidence for the earliest permanent villages in Mesoamerica comes from the Pacific littoral of Chiapas (Mexico) and Guatemala, although comparable settlements also have been reported from both the Maya lowlands (Belize) and the Veracruz Gulf coast.

The Barra (c. 1800–1500 BCE), Ocós (1500–1200 BCE), and Cuadros (1100–900 BCE) phases of the Pacific coasts of Chiapas and Guatemala are good examples of early village cultures. The Barra phase appears to have been transitional from earlier preagricultural phases and may not have been primarily dependent upon corn farming; but people of the Ocós and Cuadros phases raised a small-eared corn known as nal-tel, which was ground on metates and manos and cooked in globular jars. From the rich lagoons and estuaries in this area, the villagers obtained shellfish, crabs, fish, and turtles. Their villages were small, with perhaps 10 to 12 thatched-roof houses arranged haphazardly.
