Answer 1

Since nearly all clothing has been destroyed over the past two thousand years - it is hard to say what the Olmecs wore. Researchers found however, that the men wore loincloths or a skirt and some sort of cloak while the women wore skirts and bodices. The women (which is still not uncommon for today’s Indian society) often went with their breasts bared. Considering that certain terrain was rocky, sandals were most likely worn. People also wore bracelets, necklaces, and other decorative paraphernalia along with piercings in their nasal septum. Of course, there were also headdresses and turbans also worn by the appropriate officials

Answer 2

HEYYYYYYY!!!! ;) Among the various Mesoamerican Pre-Classic period (1200 BCE-400 BCE) groups, the Olmec are the most well-known. The Olmec heartland was centered in La Venta in Tabasco, and San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan and Laguna de los Cerros in Veracruz. The Olmec were a highly developed and well organized group with a complex calendar and hieroglyphic writing system. They also created unique art objects. Olmec cities were constructed around a central raised mound, which was used for religious ceremonies. Around 900 BCE, these raised mounds were replaced with pyramid-shaped structures. Society began to separate into divisions arranged in a hierarchy, as is shown in the change in residential patterns. The houses were made of wooden walls with clay and palm roof tops.
