Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class. The professor has been discussing Mesoamerica, a region that covers parts of Mexico and Central America.

So, uh, we've established that ancient Mesoamerican culture shared unique art, architecture and technology for thousands of years. Uh, what we're gonna talk about today is the art of another one of the early Mesoamerican cultures, the Olmec civilization.

Now, to analyze any work of art, it helps to know about the people who created it. Uh. The problem here is that we don't know a lot about the people who created the Olmec civilization. And much of what we know about them, we actually only know through their art. Why do we know so little? Well, the Olmec civilization began around 1,200 BC and lasted for just 700 years. By 400 BC Olmec society was gone. Uh, we know that the people lived in small agricultural communities in uh, the swampy, low lands of southern Mexico. They fished raised turkeys, had an extensive trade network of valuable materials like jade. They had a writing system as well. We'll see their writing on various pieces of their art as we study it.。。。。。托福TPO74听力Lecture3原文余下部分省略！
