Photographs of the Looting of Placeres, Mexico The Trafficking Culture project has obtained a collection of forty-seven photographs, taken in the late 1960s, of the looting of a Maya stucco temple facade from the Mexican site of Placeres. They are reproduced with the permission of the individual who took the photographs and represent a valuable window into the realities and methodologies of the looting of the Petén region.
