Archaeologists have discovered five ceramic figurines atop the largest pyramidal structure at San Isidro, El Salvador. The style of the figurines suggests that ritual puppetry may have connected Central American societies during the Preclassic (2000 BC–AD 200) and Classic (AD 200–900) periods. Their study of the artifacts is published in Antiquity. Archaeologists have discovered five ceramic figurines atop the largest pyramidal structure at San Isidro, El Salvador.
