Paula Krotser (1913-1989: American Archaeologist)

Archaeology of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan, Veracruz


 * The San Lorenzo Project directed by Michael Coe from 1966-68 (and reported in Coe and Diehl 1980): Coe, Richard Diehl and Paula Krotser carried out many of the excavations that allowed for the reconstruction of the site’s occupation history, from the earliest Ojochi phase that was thought to predate 1350 BC, through its Early Formative Olmec fluorescence, Late Formative decline, Middle-Late Classic Villa Alta reoccupation, and final abandonment after AD 1100.

El Tajin


 * Following her work at San Lorenzo, Paula Krotser was invited to map the central part of El Tajin and conduct stratigraphic excavations for a ceramic sequence. She was there from 1969 through March 1970. With help from her engineer husband, Raymond Krotser, completed a topographical map of the central part of the site. Paula then constructed a ceramic chronology that concluded that the peak of the city was during the Late Classic Period (AD 600-900). Paula Krotser suggested that the ceramics of El Tajin displayed features identical to those in central Veracruz, the Maya region, the central Mexican highlands, and the Huasteca.
