At San Lorenzo, the big deposits contain an extraordinary number of intact, fully perforated pieces.

If these were simply disposable parts in a drilling system, you would expect more htt

Archaeologists have tried to explain them as net weights, beads, fire-making tools, small hammers, atlatl counterweights and amulets.

Nearby sites produced manufacturing htt

They’re usually called multiperforated ilmenite cubes, though plenty aren’t perfect cubes.
Ilmenite is a dense iron-titanium oxide, and the perforations preserve evidence of rotary drilling.
San Lorenzo did not produce a handful of curiosities. Some deposits contained tens of h

The Olmec made thousands of the same little iron-ore object.
At San Lorenzo alone, archaeologists have recovered more than six metric tons.
