Analysis of Mesoamerican Plumbate Pottery Surfaces by Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)
TL;DR: In this article, a laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was used to characterize the slip surfaces on specimens of a famous Mesoamerican tradeware known as Plumbate.

TL;DR: Stoltman et al. as mentioned in this paper pointed out that the INAA study indicated that the Olmec center of San Lorenzo was a major exporter of carved-incised and white pottery and that little if any pottery made elsewhere was consumed at San Lorenzo.

Climate change and population history in the pacific lowlands of Southern Mesoamerica
TL;DR: The core MAN015 from Pacific coastal Guatemala contains sediments accumulated in a mangrove setting over the past 6500 yr Chemical, pollen, and phytolith data, which indicate conditions of estuarine deposition and terrigenous inputs from adjacent dry land, document Holocene climate variability that parallels the Maya lowlands and other New World tropical locations as discussed by the authors.

Formative and Classic Period Obsidian Procurement in Central Mexico: A Compositional Study Using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry
TL;DR: The results of a compositional study using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to examine central Mexican obsidian procurement at four sites dating to the Formative and Classic periods were presented in this paper.
