Although it has been considered possible that certain elements originating in the Olmec culture of Mexico were added to older Peruvian traditions to produce the Chavin civilization, the radiocarbon dates on Olmec and Chavin make them approximately coeval. A black-ware bottle found at Kotosh, in the central Peruvian highlands, bears a design of an ear of maize, a motif of probable Olmec origin. Since this vessel was from a phase immediately preceding the Chavin horizon, it is suggested that the Olmec culture began earlier than did Chavin and, in fact, could have been the progenitor for civilization in the Andean Area.

Both Lespinasse and his brother, who offered the stone to the Metropolitan Museum on his behalf, noted that the stone was similar to a keystone at the summit of an arch. A reanalysis of the architectural sculpture recorded at Uxmal in the years after the consul's original visit, however, reveals that the Met's block formed part of a monumental mosaic "mask," an anthropomorphic portrait of a mountain deity, or witz in Mayan.
