FALTA TRAD.

Abstract

During the French Intervention in Mexico in 1862-1867, doctor Fuzier, then responsible of the French military hospital at Veracruz, engaged his spare time excavating and drawing an important corpus of archaeological objects, from well known major pieces, such as the Olmec colossal head from Tres Zapotes to minor figurines and even bones and skulls. The manuscript he left us allows slowly locating and documenting an important corpus of forgotten objects that frequently are part of public collections, in European, American and Mexican museums. The present paper aims to present a significant sample of what this still unpublished manuscript can provide.
