This research paper: This 6 page paper considers the different types of body modification including scarification, cranial modification, tooth modification and a range of piercing, which are seen in Mesoamerica. These may start with the Olmecs but were also carried forward and developed by other civilisations such as the Maya, Aztec, Teotihuacán and Toltec. Examining these different permanent modification or mutilations the paper draws parallels with the practices of body modifications today and asserts that this has always been associated with social class and power. The bibliography cites 9 sources.
